Writing expression for summation on mathlab

how can i write this on mathlab

[Ajay Kumar]

Have you tried it before asking the question? If not please do try first.

You can use for loops for iterating i.e. j from 1 to N and to iterate other variables.

and I see nothing except that in the equation, you can use basic built-in functions in matlab to perform squareroot(sqrt) operations.

for squaring you can always use ^2 or .^2 for element wise squaring.

This is the summation for the midpoint numerical integration method. This is an example of how to turn a summation into matlab code. Hope this helps somewhat.

function [Y] = midpoint_integration(A,B,N,S)
D = (A-B)/N;
W =  str2func(['@(X)' S]);
Y=0;
    for i = 0:(N-1)
   Y = Y + W((B+D/2)+i*D);
    end
Y = Y*D;
U = error_midpoint(A,B,N,S);
answer_output = (' \n \n The area under the curve is %4.2f and the error bounds is %4.2f \n');

fprintf(answer_output,Y, U);
end

%A is the upper bound
%B is the lower bound
%N is the number of of sub intervals
%S is the function you want to integrate
