MATLAB: Solve function

Question

Hi Everyone,

I need to find the value of xgaris1

   dis1=1.5;
   newx=3;
   newy=2; 
   xgaris1= solve('dis1^2=abs(sqrt(xgaris1-newx)^2+((3-xgaris1)-newy)^2)');

but the output of xgaris1 always didn't calculate the numeric value of dis1, newx, and newy as seen below: xgaris1 = (4*dis1^2 + 4*newx + 4*newy – 11)^(1/2)/2 – newy + 5/2 5/2 – (4*dis1^2 + 4*newx + 4*newy – 11)^(1/2)/2 – newy

For any reply, will very appreciate.

Thanks in advance, Lina

Answer 1

Convert solve('A=B') to solve((A)-(B)) with no quotes. But

syms xgaris1

first.
