Not enough input arguments

The live script is attached, but the code is as follows:

fplot(f,[-1 4])
grid on
title('y=x^3-4*x^2+2*x-4')
xlabel('x');
ylabel('y');
hold on

f(3)-f(5)

Differentiation=diff(y, x)

Integtgral=integral(f,-1,4)


function y=f(x)
y=x^3-4*x^2+2*x-4
end

How do I fix the "not enough input arguments" error and also how do I get the integral to work?

Answer 1

[Stephen23]

integral(@f,-1,4)
%        ^^ the first input needs to be a function handle!

Than you

but now it oouputs all the values before ploting and give a different error?

please help

The outputs are caused by your omission of a semicolon. If you replace ^ and * by .^ and .* to make sure your function works for array inputs.
