What is wrong with this MATLAB code snippet?
x = [1 2 3];
y = [10 20];
interp1(x, y, 2)
AVectors x and y have different lengths causing an error.
BThe query point 2 is outside the range of x.
Cinterp1 requires y to be a matrix, not a vector.
DThe syntax of interp1 is incorrect.
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Check vector lengths

    Vector x has length 3, y has length 2; they must be equal for interp1.
  2. Step 2: Identify error cause

    Different lengths cause MATLAB to throw an error when calling interp1.
  3. Final Answer:

    Vectors x and y have different lengths causing an error. -> Option A
  4. Quick Check:

    Equal vector lengths needed [OK]
Quick Trick: Check x and y lengths match before interp1 [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Ignoring vector length mismatch
  • Thinking query point must be outside range
  • Assuming interp1 needs matrix y
