How do I create a vector of n exponentially increasing values from a to b?

I know how to calculate the growth factor, but not how to turn it all into a vector. Here's the start of my code: -
n = 4
a = 1
b = 10
gf = (b/a)^(1/n - 1)

I think I've done it with a for loop: -
n = 4
a = 1
b = 10
gf = (b/a)^(1/(n - 1))
for k = 1:n
y(k) = a*gf^(k-1);
end
Does anyone know how I could do it using a non-for loop method?

k = 1:n;
y = a*gf.^(k-1);
or, even simpler
y = a*gf.^((1:n)-1);

Is this a specific module that I need to add? In my case it doesn't work:
n = 4;
a = 1;
b = 10;
K>>
K>> k = 1:n;
K>> y = a*gf.^(k-1);
Error using .^ (line 1000)
Sizes of x, y don't match.
K>> y = a*gf.^((1:n)-1);
Error using .^ (line 1000)
Sizes of x, y don't match.
@Ramm: That error message is telling you what the problem is. It does not mention that you need any "specific module". It shows that your gf is non-scalar and is not the same size as k, thus you will get this error. The code in this answer works perfectly, as long as you define a scalar growth factor (exactly as the question shows):
>> n = 4;
>> a = 1;
>> b = 10;
>> gf = (b/a)^(1/n-1)
gf = 0.17783
>> k = 1:n;
>> y = a*gf.^(k-1)
y =
1.0000000 0.1778279 0.0316228 0.0056234
