Hello, i got stocked bulding my code for this problem.
a) plot i(t) vs. t, over -pi<t<3pi.
i(t)= {3+5*sin(2*t-pi)+t*exp(-t)}[u(t)-u(t-2*pi)]
b) determine the values for i(t) for t = 0, pi/2, pi and -pi/2
c) evaluate RMS value of i(t)
This is what I have so far:
% Script file : sym _ analysis _ RLC
% Analysis of an RLC series circuit
% where the current is iamps i(t)= {3+5*sin(2*t-pi)+t*exp(-t)}[u(t)-u(t-2*pi)]
% R=2K Ohms, L=3mH, and C=1 microF
function i(t) = ?????
u = double(t>=0);
echo off;
iamps= {3+5*sin(2*t-pi)+t*exp(-t)}*(u(t)-u(t-2*pi));
figure(1)
subplot(2,2,1)
ezplot(iamps)
title('i(t) vs.t');
ylabel('Amplitude (amps)');
grid on
ALL advice will be really appreciated.
Thanks.

The first and most important advice is to format your code! In its current form it is unreadable. Please edit your question, select the code-text and then press the {} Code button above textbox. Simple!
Or, if you want to do it by hand, just put two-spaces at the start of each code line.

You cannot list a subscripted variable on the "function" line of a definition.
function iamps = i(t)
You also need to change the {} to ()
iamps = (3+5*sin(2*t-pi)+t*exp(-t))*(u(t)-u(t-2*pi)); %{} became ()
If you are planning to pass a vector of t in, then you need to convert the * into .* in order to vectorize-- In MATLAB, * is algebraic matrix multiplication, not element-by-element multiplication.
iamps = (3+5*sin(2*t-pi)+t.*exp(-t)).*(u(t)-u(t-2*pi)); %vectorize as well
