I need to find the maximum value of the last equation in my for loop as well as the iterative value. How would I do this? For example I need to find the maximum value of z and for what value of x.
for x = 0:10
y = 3*x;
z = sqrt(y/2);
end

Try this:
zMax = -inf;
xAtZMax = 0;
for x = 0:10
y = 3*x;
z = sqrt(y/2);
if z > zMax
% New max found.
zMax = z;
xAtZMax = x;
end
end
fprintf('The max z is %f that occurs at x = %d\n', zMax, xAtZMax);
