Octave/Matlab Tutorial
TOTAL POINTS 5

1.Suppose I first execute the following in Octave/Matlab:

1 A = [1 2; 3 4; 5 6];
2 B = [1 2 3; 4 5 6];

Which of the following are then valid commands? Check all that apply. (Hint: A' denotes the transpose of A.)

C = A' + B;

C = B * A;

C = A + B;

C = B' * A;

Let

⎡ 16 2 3 13 ⎤
⎢ 5 11 10 8 ⎥
⎢ 9 7 6 12 ⎥
⎣ 4 14 15 1 ⎦

⎡16 2 3 13⎤
5 11 10 8 ⎥
A = ⎢⎢ .
9 7 6 12⎥
​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​

⎣4 14 15 1 ⎦

Which of the following indexing expressions gives

⎡ 16 2 ⎤
⎢ 5 11 ⎥
⎢ 9 7⎥
⎣ 4 14 ⎦
⎡16 2⎤
5 11⎥
B = ⎢⎢ ? Check all that apply.
9 7⎥
​ ​ ​ ​

⎣4 14⎦

B = A(:, 1:2);

B = A(1:4, 1:2);

B = A(:, 0:2);

B = A(0:4, 0:2);

3. Let A be a 10x10 matrix and x be a 10-element vector. Your friend wants to compute the product Ax and writes
1 point
the following code:

1 v = zeros(10, 1);
2 for i = 1:10
3  for j = 1:10
4    v(i) = v(i) + A(i, j) * x(j);
5  end
6 end

How would you vectorize this code to run without any FOR loops? Check all that apply.

v = A * x;

v = Ax;

v = A .* x;

v = sum (A * x);

4.Say you have two column vectors v and w , each with 7 elements (i.e., they have dimensions 7x1). Consider the
1 point
following code:

1 z = 0;
2 for i = 1:7
3  z = z + v(i) * w(i)
4 end

Which of the following vectorizations correctly compute z? Check all that apply.

z = sum (v .* w);

z = v' * w;

z = v * w';

z = v .* w;

5.In Octave/Matlab, many functions work on single numbers, vectors, and matrices. For example, the sin function
1 point
when applied to a matrix will return a new matrix with the sin of each element. But you have to be careful, as certain
functions have different behavior. Suppose you have an 7x7 matrix X . You want to compute the log of every
element, the square of every element, add 1 to every element, and divide every element by 4. You will store the
results in four matrices, A, B, C, D . One way to do so is the following code:

1 for i = 1:7
2  for j = 1:7
3    A(i, j) = log(X(i, j));
4    B(i, j) = X(i, j) ^ 2;
5    C(i, j) = X(i, j) + 1;
6    D(i, j) = X(i, j) / 4;
7  end
8 end

Which of the following correctly compute A, B, C, or D ? Check all that apply.

C = X + 1;

D = X / 4;

A = log (X);

B = X ^ 2;
