Hi! How can I show the numerical value of the first derivative of a function in this code?
(-0.1*x^4) - (0.15*x^3) - (0.5*x^2) - (0.25*x) + 1.2
Enter Step Size:
0.5
Enter the point you want to approximate the Derivative:
0.5
clear
clc
format short
syms x
P=input ('Enter the Equation: ','s');
f=inline(P)
g=diff(f(x),x);
h=input ('Enter Step Size: ')
x=input ('Enter the point you want to approximate the Derivative: ')
fprintf('f(x) = %0.4f', f(x))
dy=g(x) % How Can I get the derivative equation of g in numerical answer by substituting the value of x?
fprintf('x(xi+1) = %0.4f', x+(1*h))
fprintf('f(xi+1) = %0.4f', f(x+(1*h)))
FDD=(f(x+(1*h))-f(x))/h;
fprintf('FDD (Truncated) = %0.4f', (f(x+(1*h))-f(x))/h)

dy = subs(g,x,x0)
if you rename x in x0 in the preceeding input-command for x.

inline is not recommended.
Simply define the expression/function by typing or use str2sym.
Don't you think the step size is too big for calculating numerical derivative?

Hi Christoppe,
I understand that you want to show the numerical value of the first derivative of a function in the given code.
To do so, you need to substitute the value of x into the derivative function g and then evaluate it. This can be done by using the subs function or by converting the symbolic expression to a function and then evaluating it at the given point.
Refer the modified code below for better understanding:
clear
clc
format short
syms x
% P = input('Enter the Equation: ','s');
P = (-0.1*x^4) - (0.15*x^3) - (0.5*x^2) - (0.25*x) + 1.2;
f = inline(P);
g = diff(f(x),x);
% h = input('Enter Step Size: ');
h = 0.5;
% x_val = input('Enter the point you want to approximate the Derivative: ');
x_val = 0.5;
fprintf('f(x) = %0.4f\n', f(x_val)); % Display the value of the function at x
f(x) = 0.9250
% Calculate the numerical value of the derivative at x
g_val = double(subs(g, x, x_val));
fprintf('g(x) = %0.4f\n', g_val); % Display the numerical value of the derivative
g(x) = -0.9125
fprintf('x(xi+1) = %0.4f\n', x_val + h);
x(xi+1) = 1.0000
fprintf('f(xi+1) = %0.4f\n', f(x_val + h));
f(xi+1) = 0.2000
FDD = (f(x_val + h) - f(x_val)) / h;
fprintf('FDD (Truncated) = %0.4f\n', FDD);
FDD (Truncated) = -1.4500
The "inline" function is not recommended, instead use the "anonymous function". For more information on the “subs” function and "anonymous function" refer the documentation page given below:
