Hello,
Although I recently had a MATLAB class it didn't really touch on variable types or use of the solve() function, and now I'm stumped on an embarrassingly basic problem; I'm trying to solve an equation in this form, with the other variables defined as doubles:
solve('Dy*sin(Cy*atan(By*alpha1-Ey*(By*alpha1-atan(By*alpha1))))+Svy=2131','alpha1')
This returns an "Explicit solution could not be found" warning and an empty answer set. From what I've been able to gather, the command attempts to solve the equation symbolically, and it works fine when I manually replace the variables with their numerical values, e.g:
solve('2119.16*sin(1.2739*atan(11.981*alpha1-0.0012*(11.981*alpha1-atan(11.981*alpha1))))+27.6617=2131','alpha1')
Could anyone tell me how to make the command work without having to explicitly enter the numerical values?
