Hello
debian 2.6.8 i686-pc-GNU/Linux
GNU Octave, version 2.1.60
I just started with octave, and appreciate some help
with this simple
task, could not get much help from reading the FAQs
and the manual.
OK,
I need to determine the average value of this function
which I expect
it to be -1.620993 but I am getting a different ans
and not sure if I am
using octave correctly.
octave> function y=x(t), y = t^2 - 5*t + 6*cos(pi*t);
end;
octave> quad('x', -1, 5/2)
ans = -5.6735
Thanks
