Does anyone know why I keep on getting an unexpected Matlab error in this program. It says it occurs in line for (%the original equation) and I think it has something to do with a coefficient to x? I don't know, I have ran this program before with a different equation and it works. ANy help would be greatly appreciated and suggestions on the fix...
