Hey there,
I have been trying to use Newton Raphson method in order to get Matlab to guess some unknowns of a function. Hovewer, I did not have any luck doing that. Is there a better way to guess the values of a function?
Also the function I am working on is "f(x,y)=x-((28+y)/2)". And the initial values are; x_init=26.94 y_init=25.87.
Is it a right approach to use Newton Raphson method, or is there a way in Matlab to guess the variables of a function?

You have two variables and only one function. How do you want to apply Newton-Raphson here ?

There is a way to use Newton-Raphson for multivariable functions, but using that did not help me solve this problem. I believe it is because it required more than one function to get a solution.

Yes, in general, it requires as many function as there are variables to be solved for.
So I don't understand what you are trying to do.
Find a pair of numbers (x,y) for which f(x,y) = 0 ?
Compute f(x,y) for several values of x and y ?

There is a software called "Engineering equation solver" or EES for short. It uses Newton-Raphson to guess the unknown values of some equations. It does that by using some initial values. I am trying to set up a similar approach in Matlab.

In parameter estimation, you usually have more equations than unknown. The usual Newton-Raphson does not apply in this case.
Look up "Gauss-Newton-algorithm" for more details:

In MATLAB, the functions "lsqlin" (for linear problems) or "lsqcurvefit" (for nonlinear problems) should do what you want.

Thank you for the answer, I'll check that function

You don't have to "guess" the values of the function, you can just calculate them.
Example
x = [-20:.1:20];
y = x;
[X,Y] = meshgrid(x, y);
f = @(x,y) x-((28+y)/2)
f = function_handle with value:
@(x,y)x-((28+y)/2)
Z = f(X,Y);
h = surf(X,Y,Z);
h.EdgeColor = 'none';
If you are trying to find the zeros of the function, that is a different question.

I also need to run this in an iteration to get every calculated value of x and y and assign those to separate arrays. Say, to create an 1x64 array. That way, I will be able to solve my problem. I guess the solution you provided only gives certain points. This is the reason I was curious if it would somehow be possible to create "guess values". Thank you, by the way.

You are welcome.
I'm afraid I still don't understand what you are trying to do.
