hi, im trying to produce the answer for this equation in vector. example for a[1 2 3 4 5], im expecting my answer to be y[0 4 8 10 12.5]. can anyone help me to explain about this?thanks

a=[1 2 3 4 5];

for n=1:5

y=[(a(1,n)^2)/2];

end

[y]

I don't your formula to produce y. But to get equal length vector to a, you should do like this.

a=[1 2 3 4 5];
y=size(a);
for n=1:5

y(n)=[(a(1,n)^2)/2];

end

You have store each value of Y, but in your code you replace previous value by new value. I hope now you can debug yourself for your desired answer.
