Matlab solve function in for loops

Matlab "solve" function in "for" loops

I need to solve a similar problem like shown in the below codes for a larger matrix,
The 'x' here needs to be solved for each y(a,b). Each of this y(a,b) is equal to zero and 'x' will vary accordingly , so it will give a 2by 2 matrix for 'x' as well.

syms x;
y = [sin(x)+5 3*cos(x)-4
cos(x)-1 cos(x)-0.6];

C=zeros(2,2);
for a=1:2
for b=1:2

B(a,b)= solve('y(a,b)=0',x);
%B(a,b)=solve('y(a,b)=C(a,b)',x);
end
end

When I try to solve it without the loop it gives the following error,
(Warning: 4 equations in 1 variables.
Warning: Explicit solution could not be found.
> In solve at 81)
When I try with the loop it gives me the following error,
? Error using ==> mupadmex
Error in MuPAD command: Invalid index

• ;
  
  during evaluation of 'matchNonSingletonLHS'
  
  Error in ==> sym.sym>sym.subsasgn at 1420
  C = mupadmex('mllib::subsasgn',A.s,B.s,inds{:});
  
  
  It will be great if someone can give me a clue to solve this problem.

I don't often use the symbolic toolbox, but I think the issue is that you've defined y to be a 2x2 matrix of one variable (x).
I am not even sure what you think y(a,b) would mean in this case?

Thanks for the reply. Like I said y here is just a random matrix. My actual problem needs to be solved for voltage angle difference between busbars and contains a 96by10 matrix. However the the matrix I need to solve is quite similar to 'y'. But each element contains larger first order trigonometric equations.

Try this:

syms x,y,z,w;
y = [sin(x)+5 3*cos(y)-4
cos(z)-1 cos(w)-0.6];

C=zeros(2,2);
for a=1:2
for b=1:2

B(a,b)= solve('y(a,b)=0',x);
B(a,b)= solve('y(a,b)=0',y);
B(a,b)= solve('y(a,b)=0',z);
B(a,b)= solve('y(a,b)=0',w);
end
end
