Matlab Noob here Simple question

Can someone help me with writing the code for these two questions:

Calculate e^0.4. Assign the answer to p2.

Calculate log10(sin(70)) where the 70 is assumed to be in degrees. Assign the answer to p3. Note: Don’t use sin, find the correct command! Try help sin if you’re not sure!

In the first question is e a variable? Also how do you assign an answer to p#?

Thank you!

I was able to solve #1 but now for number 2 I am getting this error: Exiting fzero: aborting search for an interval containing a sign change because no sign change is detected during search. Function may not have a root.

What? What question were you answering? For the second problem you listed, I don't see any reason why fzero() should be called when you just want to call log10(sind(70)) and assign it to a variable called "p3". Let's see your code.

Hint for your homework: look up exp() and sind() in the help.
