MATLAB: Solve function doesn’t run

equationMATLABsolve

I am working on Matlab 2017b and I am stuck on the problem of solving numerically an equation. I've followed the instructions but I can't find what is wrong. Here is my code:

syms x

solve(x^5 – 1 == 0, x)

Attempt to execute SCRIPT solve as a function:

C:\Users\jose-\Documents\MATLAB\solve.m

Error in equationsolver (line 2) solve(x^5 – 1 == 0, x)

I think that the code is not wrong, but the configuration of my software could, because the code is the same as the written one in the Matlab page.

you have a file name called as solve.m please delete it , contradicts with the matlab's inbuilt function solve

Type

which

in command window

also you can use the following solver

syms x
vpasolve(x^5 - 1 == 0, x)

location is shown C:\Users\jose-\Documents\MATLAB\solve.m just rename solve.m to solve1.m to avoid this error

Rather than specifying the inputs to solve as char vectors, you should specify them as symbolic equations.

syms x y
A = solve(x+y == 1, x-y == 0)

MATLAB: Import data in GUI

Assuming solve.m is your file that creates variables, you can call solve.m from your main script to create your variables in the base workspace and then use them in your main script. Like main.m would look like

solve(); % Create and load/import variables into base workspace.
% Now do something, for example, display power in an edit text field
handleToEditText.String = Power;  % Or sprintf('%f', Power);
