There is a small space between the orange and purple line could you please connect the two lines together also can you please make the purple line shorter and then connect the purple line to the orange line, please take out the box that says “Diesel, petrol, Diesel best fit, petrol best fit”. Also when ever I run this code the graph shows up but there are still errors that comes up could you please fix them when you are running this on MATLAB.
Please use this code on MATLAB and fix it.

You are a biomedical engineer working for a small orthopaedic firm that fabricates rectangular shaped fracture
fixation plates from titanium alloy (model = "Ti Fix-It") materials. A recent clinical report documents some problems with the plates
implanted into fractured limbs. Specifically, some plates have become permanently bent while patients are in rehab and doing partial
weight bearing activities.
Your boss asks you to review the technical report that was generated by the previous test engineer (whose job you now have!) and used to
verify the design. The brief report states the following... "Ti Fix-It plates were manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V (grade 5) and machined into
solid 150 mm long beams with a 4 mm thick and 15 mm wide cross section. Each Ti Fix-It plate was loaded in equilibrium in a 4-point bending
test (set-up configuration is provided in drawing below), with an applied load of 1000N. The maximum stress in this set-up was less than the
yield stress for the Ti-6Al-4V…

- For all the following problems, a) b) 4. You need to show at least 3 iterations calculated manually with all steps. You do not need to include the M.files for the bisection method (bisect.m) and for false position (falspos.m). You must, however, show the command lines for the given functions with their variables and other parameters. Zero-pressure specific heat of dry air Mechanical engineers, as well as most other engineers, use thermodynamics extensively in their work. The following polynomial can be used to relate the zero-pressure specific heat of dry air cp kJ/(kg K) to temperature (K): 11 0.99403 +1.671×10-4T + 9.7215-10-8T²-9.5838×10- Cp = T3+1.9520×10-14T4 (a) Develop a plot of cp versus a range of T=0 to 1200 K.
