I'm trying create values 'x' for the following equation but the values are not what i'm expecting
f=1:0.1:10
x=sqrt(a*b*c/d*e*f)
(With a,b,c being the numerator of the fraction and d,e,f being the denominator)
a,b,c,d,e are all constants in the equation with the only variable being f ranging from 1, 1.1, 1.2,...,...9.8,9.9,10
How would I code this? Thanks

Use parentheses to group the denominator together, and use the correct division operator:
x=sqrt((a*b*c)./(d*e*f))
And tested:
>> a = 1;
>> b = 2;
>> c = 3;
>> d = 4;
>> e = 5;
>> f = 1:0.1:10
f =
1.00000 1.10000 1.20000 1.30000 1.40000 1.50000 1.60000 ...
>> x = sqrt((a*b*c)./(d*e*f))
x =
0.54772 0.52223 0.50000 0.48038 0.46291 0.44721 0.43301 ...
