Question: Develop a computer program in MATLAB that will evaluate the following function for 0.9 x 0.9 in steps of 0.1 by: 1. An arithmetic statement.

Develop a computer program in MATLAB that will evaluate the following function for 0.9 x 0.9 in steps of 0.1 by:

1. An arithmetic statement.

2. A series allowing for as many as 50 terms. However, stop adding terms when the last term only affects the sixth decimal place in the answer.

The function and its series expansion, valid for x2 1, is

f(x) = (1+x2)-1/2 = 1 - (1/2*x2) + ((1*3)/(2*4)*x4) - ((1*3*5)/(2*4*6)*x6) + ((1*3*5*7)/(2*4*6*8)*x8) - ... + ...

Print out a table in the format below:

x f(x) (arithmetic statement) f(x) (by series) No. of terms used in the series

-0.9

-0.8

-0.7

........

0.7

0.8

0.9
