Functions and commands

407

polygonscatterplot

Used in the Geometry app Symbolic view. Given an n × m matrix,

draws and connects the points (xk, yk), where xk is the element in

row k and column 1, and yk is the element in row k and column j

(with j fixed for k=1 to n rows). Thus, each column pairing

generates its own figure, resulting in m-– figures.

polygonscatterplot(Matrix)

Example:

polygonscatterplot

draws two figures, each

with three points connected by segments.

polynomial_

regression

Given a set of points defined by two lists, and a positive

integer n, returns a vector containing the coefficients (a

n

, a

n–1

... a

0

) of y = a

n

*x

n

+ a

n–1

x

n–1

+ ... a

*x + a

0

), the nth order

polynomial which best approximates the given points.

polynomial_regression(List1, List2, Integer)

Example:

polynomial_regression({1, 2, 3, 4}, {1, 4, 9,
16},3) returns [0 1 0 0]

POLYROOT

Returns the zeros of the polynomial given as argument (either

as a symbolic expression or as a vector of coefficients).

POLYROOT(Poly) or POLYROOT(Vector)

Example:

POLYROOT([1 0 -1]) returns [-1 1]

potential

Returns a function whose gradient is the vector field defined

by a vector and a vector of variables.

potential(Vector1, Vector2)

Example:

potential([2*x*y+3,x^2-4*z,-4*y],[x,y,z])
returns x
