solve equation in matlab

To solve equations in MATLAB, you can use the built-in function solve(). Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

1. Define the equation(s) you want to solve. Make sure to represent each equation explicitly with the variable you want to solve for on the left side and the equation's expression on the right side. For example:

   main.m
   syms x
   equation = x^2 - 5*x + 6 == 0;
   38 chars
   3 lines

   In this case, we are defining a quadratic equation x^2 - 5*x + 6 = 0 by using the syms function to create a symbolic variable x.

2. Use the solve() function to solve the equation. Pass the equation or a system of equations as an argument to the solve() function. For example:

   main.m
   solution = solve(equation, x);
   31 chars
   2 lines

   This will return a symbolic solution(s) for the variable x that satisfies the equation.

3. Evaluate the solution(s) to obtain numeric values. You can use the double() function to convert the symbolic solutions to double precision:

   main.m
   numeric_solution = double(solution);
   37 chars
   2 lines

   This will give you the numeric solution(s) for the variable x.

Here's an example that puts all the steps together:

main.m
syms x
equation = x^2 - 5*x + 6 == 0;

solution = solve(equation, x);
numeric_solution = double(solution);

disp(numeric_solution);
132 chars
8 lines

This will give you the values of x that satisfy the equation x^2 - 5*x + 6 = 0.
