2.1 Write a well-commented function program for the function x²e¬ª*, using entry-wise operations (such
as .* and .*). To get e" use exp(x). Plot the function on [-5,5] using enough points to make the
graph smooth. Turn in the program and the graph.
Given that f(x) = b^x for b > 0, determine the values of b that will make the function f an increasing or a decreasing function.
