How do you generate a uniformly spaced vector in MATLAB?

Generating a uniformly spaced vector in MATLAB is best accomplished with the linspace function. This function creates a vector of linearly spaced elements between a specified start and end value, including the endpoints. The user specifies the number of points they want in the resulting vector.

Using linspace offers practical advantages, such as numerical stability and clarity. It ensures that the vector elements are evenly distributed in the defined range, which is essential for various applications like plotting graphs or performing numerical analysis. For example, calling linspace(1, 10, 5) would yield the vector [1, 3.25, 5.5, 7.75, 10], which is uniformly spaced from 1 to 10 with 5 points.

The other options reference functions that do not exist in MATLAB or do not perform the desired task of generating evenly spaced vectors. Thus, they cannot effectively serve in this context.
