Hello Kushagra,
To differentiate an equation given in string form, you can convert it to a symbolic expression in MATLAB. This allows you to use the ‘diff’ function directly on the expression. Here's an example of how you can do this:
equationStr = 'x^2 + 3*x + 2';
% Convert the string to a symbolic expression
syms x; % Declare x as a symbolic variable
equationSym = str2sym(equationStr);
% Differentiate the symbolic expression with respect to x
dEquationSym = diff(equationSym, x);
disp(dEquationSym);
Please find a more formal description of the ‘str2sym’ function, which is part of MATLAB's Symbolic Math Toolbox: https://www.mathworks.com/help/symbolic/str2sym.html
Please refer to the following documentation for more information regarding MATLAB's Symbolic Math Toolbox: https://www.mathworks.com/help/symbolic/index.html?s_tid=CRUX_lftnav
I hope it resolves your query!
