vectors must be the same lengths error with subplot

Question

I am new to MatLab and am unsure what is causing the error in my code. I get the vectors must be the same lengths error message. The code is below.

y1=0.5.*x.^2 x1=-5:0.25:5 y2=-x x2=0:2:100 figure subplot(2,1,1); plot(x1,y1) subplot(2,1,2); plot(x2,y2)

Hi,

What size has the vector x? y1 and y2 have the same size as x. But the sizes of x1 and x2 are not the same:

length(x1) = 41
length(x2) = 51

But since y1 and y2 have the same size, x1 and x2 need to have the same size as them.

This could work if

length(x)=41 :
x1=-5:0.25:5
x2=0:2:80
length(x1) = 41
length(x2) = 41

The assignment required x2 go up to 100 but using x2=0:2.5:100 and keeping x1 the same accomplishes this as well. Thanks for the explanation!

Anna, you need to define x1 and x2 first before you can use the variables to compute y1 and y2. Use something like

 x1 = -5:0.25:5;
 y1 = 0.5.*x1.^2;
 x2 = 0:2:100;
 y2 = -x2;
 figure
 subplot(2,1,1); 
 plot(x1,y1) 
 subplot(2,1,2); 
 plot(x2,y2)
