Question

What is the Matlab command to create a column vector with 11 equally spaced elements, whose first element is 2 and whose last is 32.

Answer 1

Answer:

transpose(linspace(2,32,11))

Explanation:

To get the equally spaced elements you can use:

linspace is the command for generating a linearly spaced vector.

For instance, the command:

linspace(element1,element2,n)

generates n points, between element1 and element2

The spacing between the points is calculated by

$\frac{element2-element1}{n-1}$

In your case, the linspace command will create a vector with 1 row and 11 columns (1x11).

To get the column vector:

In order to convert this vector into one with 11 rows and 1 column (11x1), you can use:

tanspose(vector)

where vector is linspace(element1,element2,n)
