You have a series of data points p vs v: v = [100 150 200 250 300 350]; p = [18.097 10.259 6.857 5.018 3.887 3.129] Write a MATLAB code segment that uses nlinfit to determine the best fit curve for the v and corresponding p values according to this equation: where h and a are constants you need to determine. Use initial guesses of h = 60 and a = 2. Store the result for the coefficient h in a variable named h. Store the result for the coefficient a in a variable named a. Hints: Your code must include the data for v and p above.

Step 1
In this case, we want to fit the following equation: p = a * (v - h)^2 where p is the pressure, v is the volume, a and h are constants that we want to determine. We can define this function in MATLAB as follows: function y = myfun(x, v) a = x(1); h = x(2); y = Show more…

After fitting a line to some data and doing the proper error analysis, you find the slope of the best-fit line to be m = 6.4 ± 0.3 and the y-intercept to be b = 0.6 ± 0.1. Explicitly, your data is well described by a line according to the equation: y = m*x + b Now you want to use your best-fit line to predict what the y-value should be for a x-value data point that wasn't in your original data set. If this x data point is 0.36 ± 0.02, what is the absolute uncertainty, dy, in the y-value that corresponds to this x-data point (again using only one significant digit for your answer)?

Use the shooting method to solve 7 d^2y/dx^2 - 2 dy/dx - y + x = 0 With the boundary conditions y(0) = 5 and y(20) = 8. Use MATLAB to solve this problem. Write a code that changes the initial guess or uses interpolation to find the correct boundary conditions.
