How can I find the solution I already failed to solve 15 times.

Yash Paranjape on 30 Dec 2021

Try reading the question again carefully and make sure you understand the linearly spaced part. It's a tricky one.

Siddharth Pachpor on 1 May 2022

I think i need explanation for this concept :
The vector t should be linearly spaced from 0 to T, with N elements.
if I do, a = 1:6, the ans is 1 2 3 4 5 6
but now if i do, a = 1:2:6, ans is 1 3 5
so for linear distributed vector to reach end point 6, we need to do,
a = 1:(6-1)/(6+1):6 --------similarly can it be done as t = 0:(T-1)/(T+1):T? what is the concept in the words 'linearly spaced'?

I incorrectly grouped the variables in solving for y so my code was wrong. Be careful on using parentheses!

question is easy, but you need to use linspace(min,max,n) to generate a array.

here is the solution i didn't know what is wrong i tried many times can you help me please

y=A*exp(-lambda*t).*cos(2*pi*f*t);

Dyuman Joshi on 26 Feb 2021

You are assuming the value of some variables which should not be the case.

Also, it's best to not post solutions (or solution attempts) in comments. Questions or comments specific to a solution can be posted in a comment tied to said solution or solution attempt.

decheng Lu on 13 Apr 2021

the solution is right. maybe this can be helpful.
t=1:T/(N-1):T;
