To ensure that MATLAB outputs all coefficients, including zero coefficients, when using the coeffs function, the polynomial must be explicitly defined with all terms included. For example, defining the polynomial as f = 2*x^2 + 0*x + 1 will result in the output [2, 0, 1]. Alternatively, starting with the coefficient array f = [2, 0, 1] is a straightforward method to achieve the desired output.

motherh said:Take f = 2x^2 + 1. When I run coeffs(f) in Matlab it outputs [2,1]. However I want it to output all the zero coefficients as well, for example [2 0 1] here. How do I do that?
