Evaluate that cell now. ;[s] 6:0,1;67,0;92,2;103,0;188,3;210,0;212,-1; 4:3,13,9,Times,0,12,0,0,0;1,13,9,Times,1,12,0,0,0;1,13,9,Times,2,12,0,0,0;1,13,9,Times,1,12,65535,0,0; :[font = input; preserveAspect; ] {1, 2} + {3, 4} 3 {1, 2} {1, 2, 3} + {4, 5, 6} 5 {1, -1, 2} :[font = special1; inactive; preserveAspect; ] For some of the exercises in this module you will want to graph one or more points (represnted as vectors). The following cell illustrates how this can be done in Mathematica using the ListPlot procedure. Notice that the points to be shown on the graph are specified in a list -- enclosed by curly brackets bwith the vectors separated by commas. Evaluate the next cell now. ;[s] 7:0,0;164,1;175,0;187,2;195,0;350,3;376,0;380,-1; 4:4,13,9,Times,0,12,0,0,0;1,13,9,Times,2,12,0,0,0;1,13,9,Times,1,12,0,0,0;1,13,9,Times,1,12,65535,0,0; :[font = input; preserveAspect; ] ListPlot[{{1, 2}, {3, 4}}, PlotRange -> {{-4, 4}, {-4, 4}}, AspectRatio -> Automatic, PlotStyle -> {AbsolutePointSize[5]}] :[font = special1; inactive; preserveAspect; ] The ranges used for the x- and y-axes are specified in a line of the form PlotRange -> {{xlow, xhigh}, {ylow, yhigh}} with xlow and xhigh specifying the low and high end for the x-axis and ylow and yhigh specifying the low and high end of the y-axis. ;[s] 11:0,0;90,1;133,0;141,2;145,0;152,2;157,0;211,2;215,0;222,2;227,0;278,-1; 3:6,13,9,Times,0,12,0,0,0;1,13,10,Courier,1,12,0,0,0;4,13,9,Times,1,12,0,0,0; ^*)
