Find coefficient in symbolic expression or matrix in matlab

3 views (last 30 days)
I have the equation below: 2*x+3*y+4*z I want to separate the coefficients from syms. I want a function that its result from my equation be [2 3 4] "some times maybe my coefficients be a symbol too. "

This should do what you want:
syms x y z
f = 2*x+3*y+4*z
cf = coeffs(f, [z y x])
It results in:
cf =
[ 2, 3, 4]
See the coeffs documentation for more information.

I do not know if you noticed, but this code above doesn't result as [2,3,4]. It results equation itself...

syms x y z
u=2*x+3*y+4*z
[c,t] = coeffs(u, [x y z])
