using solve when it involve trigonometrics
显示 更早的评论
Hi , I'm trying to solve this simple equaiton, but matlab giving me this message error. Could you help me? I've tried too many ways but its not working with me. 2*V(1-cos(a)) = E*a Where E=70 and V=170; I tried this: syms a1 E=70; V=170 ; eq=2*V -2*V*cos(a)- E*a==0; a = solve(eq, a)

If you make the corrections as Steven suggested, you'll get:
Warning: Cannot solve symbolically. Returning a numeric approximation instead.

Not all equations can be solved symbolically. If you want to check your answer, here's a good way to do it:
>> eq
eq =
340 - 340*cos(a) - 70*a == 0
fplot(340-340*cos(a)-70*a)
hold on
fplot(0)
If you pan around a bit, you'll notice that there are only about 5 solutions to that equation.

And you can use the plot (with panning) to identify approximate locations for those solutions. Once you have found intervals bracketing your roots from the plot, you could convert your symbolic expression into an anonymous function with matlabFunction then call fzero on that anonymous function, specifying each of those bracketing intervals in turn to obtain a root inside the specified interval.

You're missing a comma between the end of your syms command and the start of the next command. You also have a typo: you define the symbolic variable a1 then use the variable a in your code.
