PLEASE HELP. Must use Matlab for programming. Thank you in advance.
An explanation on why the techniques are being used would be greatly appreciated too
A simply supported beam is loaded as shown in the figure below: FIGURE P3.10 Using the singularity functions defined by \[ ^{n}=\left\{\begin{aligned} (x-a)^{n}, & x>a \\ 0, & x \leq a \end{aligned}\right. \] the displacement along the beam can be expressed by the equation: \[ u_{y}(x)=-\frac{5}{6}\left[\langle x-0\rangle^{4}-\langle x-5\rangle^{4}\right]+\frac{15}{6}\langle x-8\rangle^{3}+75\langle x-7\rangle^{2}+\frac{57}{6} x^{3}-238.25 x \] Develop an M-file that computes \( u_{y}(x) \) and creates a plot of displacement (dashed line) versus distance along the beam \( x \). Note that \( x=0 \) at the left end of the beam. Turn in the M-file and the plot.

Here is a MATLAB Script for the plot clear all ; clc ; % Prepare an array for the length of the Beam (along x - direction) N = 201 ; % Numper of point
