MATLAB: Issue with plotting. I put it in a vector but it returns a scalar once it goes through the calculation

beginnerplotvector

Hi everyone

I wanted to plot this program. My N ranges from 1 to 60 and the function is set below it. However it only runs when N=60. Like i don't get a vector from er

%%%%%%%%%%%

x = 10;

N = [1:60]

sumN = x.^N/factorial(N);

er =abs(sumN-exp(x))/exp(x);

plot(N,er,'*')

Add a dot before the division symbol in the third line for element-wise division:

x = 10; 
N = [1:60]
sumN = x.^N./factorial(N);
er =abs(sumN-exp(x))/exp(x);
plot(N,er,'*')

You limit the z-axes to certain limit. Imagine what would be the maximum and minimum limits of z and then limit it.

add:

   zlim([-3 3])

after surf in your code, now z is limited to 3 and -3. It will not change.

It seems that you need to subscript the appropriate variables. I’m not certain that this is what you want, but it at least has the virtue of running and plotting:

k=1000; c=50; M=200; m=2; e=0.1;
vv=[20,40,0,0.5];
w=[20:0.5:40];
for k1 = 1:length(w)
    r(k1)=w(k1)*sqrt(M/k);
    wn=w(k1)./r(k1);
    damp=c/2/M./wn;
    phi=atan((2*damp.*r(k1))./(1-r(k1).^2));
    X=(m*e*r(k1))./(M*sqrt((1-r(k1).^2).^2+(2*damp.*r(k1)).^2));
    F=m*e*w(k1).^2.*sin(w(k1));
    dx=w(k1).*X.*cos(w(k1)-phi);
    T=2*pi*w(k1);
    P(k1,:)=abs(F.*dx);
end
plot(w,P,'k','linewidth',2); axis(vv); grid on; hold on;
xlabel('Forcing Frequency (Hz)', 'fontsize', 12);
title('Problem 7');
ylabel('Mean Power Output (Hp)', 'fontsize', 12);

Experiment with it to get the result you want. You likely have to move the plot call outside the loop in any event.
