Question

Hi, I'm in an "Engineering Graphics" class, and we are using theMatlab programming language (which I just can't for the life of meunderstand). We recently went over how to do for loops, and thequestion in the problem set I'm stuck on is:

"The (x, y) coordinates of a certain object as a function of time tare given by
x(t) = 5t -10             y(t) = 25t^2 - 120t + 144
for 0 <= t <= 4. Write a program to determine the time atwhich the object is the closest to the origin at (0,0). Determinealso the minimum distance. Do this to ways:

a. By using a for loop
b. By not using a for loop"

Any help is extremely appreciated!
