Math Problem Statement

How can you create a three-dimensional plot in MATLAB? Question 2 Answer a.

Ignoring 3D plotting b.

plot function c.

scatter3 function d.

plot3D function

Solution

The correct answer is: c. scatter3 function.

Explanation:

To create a three-dimensional plot in MATLAB, you can use the scatter3 function for 3D scatter plots. Other options for 3D plotting in MATLAB include the plot3 function for line plots in 3D and mesh or surf functions for surface plots. However, scatter3 is specifically used for plotting points in a 3D space.


Example of Using scatter3:

matlab
x = rand(1, 100); % Generate random x-coordinates y = rand(1, 100); % Generate random y-coordinates z = rand(1, 100); % Generate random z-coordinates scatter3(x, y, z, 'filled'); % Create a 3D scatter plot grid on; % Turn on the grid for better visualization xlabel('X-axis'); ylabel('Y-axis'); zlabel('Z-axis'); title('3D Scatter Plot');

  2. How do you add color to points in a 3D scatter plot?
  3. Can scatter3 be used to plot surfaces? Why or why not?
  4. What are some practical applications of 3D scatter plots?
  5. How do you rotate a 3D plot in MATLAB for better visualization?

Tip: Always label your axes and use grid on when creating 3D plots to enhance readability and presentation!
