EXERCISE 1
VECTORS

QUESTIONS

1. Using R, verify that


6𝑎 + 42
= 29.50556
34.2−3.62
when a = 2.3.

2. Calculate the square root of half of the average of the numbers 25.2, 15, 16.44, 15.3
and 18.6 by using R.

3. Create an object that stores the value 32 × 41/8 . Overwrite your object by itself divided
by 2.33. Print the result to the console.

4. Create and store a sequence of values from 5 to −11 that progresses in steps of 0.3.
Overwrite the object using the same sequence with the order reversed.

5. Repeat the vector c(-1,3,-5,7,-9) twice, with each element repeated 10 times, and store
the result. Display the result sorted from largest to smallest.

6. Create and store a vector that contains the following, in this order:
– A sequence of length 5 from 3 to 6 (inclusive)
– A twofold repetition of the vector c(2,-5.1,-33)
7
– The value 42 + 2
Extract the first and last elements of your vector, storing them as a new object.

7. Create and store a vector that contains the following:


– A sequence of integers from 6 to 12 (inclusive)
– A threefold repetition of the value 5.3
– The number −3

8. Use the vector c(2,4,6) and the vector c(1,2) in conjunction with rep and * to produce
the vector c(2,4,6,4,8,12).

9. A sequence of nine values starting at 102 and ending at 100.
