Error using ^ (line 51)

Incorrect dimensions for raising a matrix to a power. Check that the matrix is square and the power is a

scalar. To perform elementwise matrix powers, use '.^'.

Error in HW8P3 (line 2)

s=0.75.*((r.^3)/(exp(1)^(.75.*r)));

"I am unsure of how I am getting this error"

Did you read the last part of the error message?: To perform elementwise matrix powers, use '.^'.

You probably need to use array operations, not matrix operations:

[David Hill]

r=linspace(0.001,1,1000);
s=0.75*((r.^3)./(exp(1).^(.75*r)));%error is here (multiplying by scalar does not need .*, but you need elementwise operations for matrix operations is needed)
