 **Problem 3:** Make a plot of $y(x) = 0.3 \log x + 2$ over the range $1 \leq x \leq 10^5$ using a dot-dashed cyan line. Chose an appropriate plotting function that best displays the functional relationship between $x$ and $y$. For this plot, it's best to create the ''​x''​ vector with ''​logspace''​ rather than ''​linspace'';​ e.g. ''​x = logspace(0,​5,​20)''​ will set ''​x''​ to 20 points between $1 = 10^0$ and $10^5$ which are uniformly spaced on a logarithmic plot. Label the axes, set the $y$ range of the plot to $2 \leq y \leq 6$, and place a coordinate grid within the plot. Title the plot as in previous problems. **Problem 3:** Make a plot of $y(x) = 0.3 \log x + 2$ over the range $1 \leq x \leq 10^5$ using a dot-dashed cyan line.

-**Problem 4:** Make a plot of $y(x) = 10 x^{-3}$ over the range $10 \leq x \leq 10^4$ using a solid green line. Chose an appropriate plotting function that best displays the functional relationship between $x$ and $y$. Use the ''​logspace''​ function for ''​x''​ as in problem 3. Label the axes, set the $x$ range of the plot to $0 \leq x \leq 10^5$, and place a coordinate grid within the plot.

 **Instructions for problems 5,6,7:** For these problems you will deduce the functional relationship between variables in data sets using graphical analysis. The data sets are given as // N x 2// matrices with //x// as the first column and //y// as the second. For each data set, you will find a function //y(x)// that fits the data, using the following steps: **Instructions for problems 5,6,7:** For these problems you will deduce the functional relationship between variables in data sets using graphical analysis.
