write a matlab script that allowss the user to plot one to plot one of the following functions over the range 0 less than or equal to x equal to or less than 10. x<=x<=10
f1(x)=cos(x)
f2(x)=sin(x)
f3(x)=(-x^2)+10x
Using the input command, your script should ask the user to select which function to plot. Then , the script should generate the desired plot.
I'm not really sure what i'm supposed to do for this problem, the things covered in the book seem a bit vague to me.

was the input 1? If so then plot cos(x). Wss the input 2? If so then plot sin(x). And so on.

"your script shuld ask the user to select which function to plot". That does not say that you must allow the user to use a string answer to make the selection.

I would use the menu function:
button = menu('Select one',...
'f1(x)=cos(x)',...
'f2(x)=sin(x)',...
'f3(x)=(-x^2)+10x')
if button == 1
% Plot function 1
elseif button == 2
% Plot function 2
else
% Plot function 3
end
But if it requires the input() function, there are examples in the help for that, which you should easily be able to adapt.

hi, try his basic sol :
% SCRIPT
x=0:0.1:10;
fprintf(' SELECT A FUNCTION TO PLOT :\n case1 : cos(x) \n case(2) sin(x) .\n case (3) : -x^2+10x :\n');
a=input('');
if a==1
figure, plot(x,cos(x));
elseif a==2
figure, plot(x,sin(x));
elseif a==3
figure, plot(x,-x.^2+10*x);
end

you should add another input for resolution or step dx , and also the lower and upper limits , its easy i think .
fprintf(' enter step dx \n');
.....
dx=input('');

You don't need the figure command - plot will automatically create a figure. And usually we don't do the entire homework for them - we leave at least something for them to do.
