    ACTIVITY 2

    VECTORS

    OBJECTIVES

     To Learn about vector and array properties in MATLAB, methods to create row and
    column vectors, mathematical functions with vectors, and element-by-element vector
    operations.

    BASIC CONCEPTS / MATLAB FEATURES


    EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS REQUIRED:

    Computer with MATLAB Software

    PROCEDURE

    MATLAB has two types of vectors (row and column) and offers several methods for creating
    vectors for use. We will use a naming convention that vector variable names contain only lower
    case letters.

    (1) Creating row vectors in MATLAB.


    (a) Enter the following at the Command Line prompt
    » row_vec1 = [3, 9, -4]
    row_vec1 =
    3 9 -4
    A row vector has been created.
    Enter the following at the Command Line prompt
    » row_vec1(1)
    ans =
    3
    The value of the first element is displayed
    Enter the following at the Command Line prompt
    » row_vec1(3)
    ans =
    -4
    The value of the third element is displayed

    (b) Enter the following at the Command Line prompt


    » row_vec2 = [7 -2 12]
    row_vec2 =
    7 -2 12
    A second row vector has been created. Note: elements separated by spaces rather than
    commas.

    (c) Enter the following at the Command Line prompt


    » row_vec3 = 1:4
    row_vec3 =
    1234
    A row vector has been created using the colon operator, :.

    (d) Enter the following at the Command Line prompt


    » row_vec4 = [1:4]
    row_vec4 =

    (e) Enter the following at the Command Line prompt


    » row_vec5 = 1:2:5
    row_vec5 =
    135
    The colon operator has been used to create a row vector with elements spaced 2 apart.

    (f) Enter the following at the Command Line prompt


    » row_vec6 = [1:-3:-6]
    row_vec6 =
    1 -2 -5
    The colon operator has been used to create a row vector with elements spaced -3 apart.

    (g) Enter the following at the Command Line prompt


    » start = 12;
    » stop = 24;
    » numel = 5;
    » row_vec7 = linspace(start,stop,numel)
    row_vec7 =
    12 15 18 21 24
    linspace has been used to create a row vector with ascending values.

    (h) Enter the following at the Command Line prompt


    » start = 12;
    » stop = 0;
    » numel = 5;
    » row_vec8 = linspace(start,stop,numel)
    row_vec8 =
    12 9 6 3 0

    (2) Creating column vectors in MATLAB.


    (a) Enter the following at the Command Line prompt
    » col_vec1 = [3; 9; -4]
    col_vec1 =
    3
    9
    -4
    A column vector has been created. Rows are separated by a semi-colon.

    Enter the following at the Command Line prompt


    » col_vec1(1)
    ans =
    3
    The value of the first element is displayed.

    Enter the following at the Command Line prompt


    » col_vec1(3)
    ans =
    -4
    The value of the third element is displayed.

    (3) Transposing vectors in MATLAB.


    Enter the following at the Command Line prompt
    » vec1 = [3, 9, -4]
    vec1 =
    3 9 -4
    A row vector is created.

    Enter the following at the Command Line prompt (use single quote key)
    » vec1tr = vec1'
    vec1tr =
    3
    9
    -4
    The row vector is transposed to a column vector.

    Enter the following at the Command Line prompt (use single quote key)
    » vec1trtr = vec1tr'
    vec1trtr =
    3 9 -4

    (4) Extracting elements from vectors in MATLAB.


    Enter the following at the Command Line prompt
    » xvec = 1:6
    xvec =
    123456
    »
    » xvec_subset = xvec(2:4)
    xvec_subset =
    234

    (5) Determining the number of elements in a vector.


    Enter the following at the Command Line prompt
    » length(xvec)
    ans =
    6
    »
    » numel_rv5 = length(row_vec5)
    numel_rv5 =
    3
    » numel_cv1 = length(col_vec1)
    numel_cv1 =
    3

    (6) Mathematical functions using vectors in MATLAB.


    Enter the following at the Command Line prompt
    » xvec = linspace(0,pi/2,5)
    xvec =
    0 0.3927 0.7854 1.1781 1.5708
    »
    » sin_xvec = sin(xvec)
    sin_xvec =
    0 0.3827 0.7071 0.9239 1.0000
    »
    » exp_xvec = exp(xvec)
    exp_xvec =
    1.0000 1.4810 2.1933 3.2482 4.8105

    (7) Some basic vector operations in MATLAB.


    MATLAB is a convenient engineering problem solving tool because it has many
    “canned” routines or functions that find frequent use in solving problems. For example,
    think of a vector consisting of grades on an exam. Questions that students frequently
    ask about the exam are:
    (1) What was the average?
    (2) What is the median?
    (3) What was the maximum score (students rarely ask about the minimum score)
    (4) What was the standard deviation?
    (5) Will the grades be “curved?” (MATLAB is not much use to answer this.)

    Enter the following at the Command Line prompt


    » grades = [97 67 78 88 92 94 84 79 62 95 81 73 91 85 84];
    » average = mean(grades)
    average =
    83.3333
    » mid = median(grades)
    mid =
    84
    » [high, stnum] = max(grades)
    high =
    97
    stnum =
    1
    » stdev = std(grades)
    stdev =
    10.2725

    EXERCISES:

    1. Equation of a line. The equation of a line is given by y mx b where m is the slope (a
    scalar)
    and b is the intercept (also a scalar).

    2. Vector multiplication, division, and exponentiation. Create a vector, g, with 10 evenly spaced
    elements starting at 1 and ending at 10. Compute the following with vector operations:
    3. Parametric equation for a circle. The parametric equation for a circle is x r cos(Ø) and y
    r sin(Ø)where r is the radius and Øis the angle of rotation counter-clockwise from the
    positive x-axis. Defined this way, x and y satisfy the equation x2 y2 r 2 . Show this using
    MATLAB. Use linspace to create an angle vector, theta, with values (0, π/3, 2π/3, π, 4π/3,
    5π/3, 2π).

    Compute the corresponding x- and y-vectors for r = 5. Show that the x- and y-vectors satisfy
    the equation of a circle.
