Question

The equation for a paraboloid (a 3D analogue of a parabola) is written: ?=?^2+?^2 Write a MATLAB function(named “paraboloid”)that calculates z from x and y.Your function is tested in the script with the following:x=5, y=1; x=0, y=10; and x=-2, y=2.

Answer 1

Source code:

paraboloid.m : In matlab, function name and name of the .m file containing its definition must be same.

function z = paraboloid(x,y)
z = power(x,2) + power(y,2);
end

main.m : Script from which paraboloid function is to be called (Run this file)

z = paraboloid(5,1)
z = paraboloid(0,10)
z = paraboloid(-2,2)

Output:

Please refer to below screenshot to understand the indentation of source code:
