Solve equation without symbolic math toolbox

Hello ,

I'm trying to solve this equation : 0 = (U/r.^3)* sqrt(-2+((3*r.^3)*(Bx/U)))-B

U is a constant

Bx and B are column matrix

I would have as a result a value of r for each value of Bx and B

is it possible to do this without the Symbolic math toolbox ?

Thank you

You can run this with two functions. The first function I have designated as myMain.m and it is written as..

r0 = rand(3,3);
fsolve(@myfun,r0)

The second function myfun.m is called by the first function by passing initial guesses of r as r0. I altered the way your equation above was written and wrote the function as...

function F = myfun(r)
Bx = rand(3,1);
B = rand(3,1);
U = rand(1);

F = (U)*sqrt(-2+((3*r.^3)*(Bx/U)))-r.^3*B;
end

Change the matrices to whatever numbers you need and it should work.

Good luck.

Hello,

Thank you for reactivity, I've tried you're solution. Im new to fsolve function so maybe I am missing something but your answer gives me just one solution.
