One of the tasks that Matlab is very good at, is in solving systems of linear equations.
In this problem we shall tackle a system of linear Diophantine Equations in which the roots are limited to certain range.
Given the number of variables n, positive integers, a, b and a root limit, L, create the function, numRoots(n,a,b,L), that outputs the number of posible integer root sets of the following system of equations:
with:
For example, if
, the system of equations:
and
, where
, has only one root set, namely:
. Therefore, numRoots(2,10,4,1) = 1.
If
, two of the possible roots of:
where: 
are
and
. In fact, there are
possible root sets. Therefore, numRoots(4,20,6,3) = 16.
There are no possible roots for
and
, therefore in these cases the function should return: numRoots = 0.
