Hello guys I'm new to matlab and i ran into a problem where the code doesn't return the exact value in my case, i want to calculate the norm which is sqrt(a^2+b^2)
syms x y
f(x,y)=((x-1)^2+10*(y-x^2)^2)
f(-1,2)
fx=gradient(f,x)
fy=gradient(f,y)
g=[fx(-1,2) fy(-1,2)]
normg=norm(g)
normg2=((g(1)^2+g(2)^2)^0.5)
normg3=sqrt(g(1)^2+g(2)^2)
I've tried doing it manually, and with norm and sqrt function but still giving me 1696^(1/2) which is correct but i want it to give me 41.18252
any thoughts? thank you

Sam - see Perform Symbolic Compuations for some ideas on how to simplify the output of a symbolic expression. In your case, that would be
simplify(normg2)
simplify(normg3)
Try the above and see what happens!

Did you check the link on performing symbolic computations? Please post the results from each of
>> normg3
and
>> simplify(normg3)
What happens if you try
>> eval(normg3)

syms x y
f=@(x,y)((x-1)^2+10*(y-x^2)^2);
vpa(f(-1,2))
fx=gradient(f,x);
fx=subs(fx,x,-1);
fx=subs(fx,y,2);
fy=gradient(f,y);
fy=subs(fy,x,-1);
fy=subs(fy,y,2);
g=[fx fy]
normg=norm(g)
normg2=((g(1)^2+g(2)^2)^0.5)
normg3=sqrt(g(1)^2+g(2)^2)

Sam,
I think this does what you're asking
double(normg2)
double(normg3)
Also the eval method that Geoff suggested would work as well, but casting from symbolic to double is a less ambiguous method.
