How do I solve dm/dt = R(1-A) - B (A) in MATLAB?

2 views (last 30 days)
I have this equation:
dm/dt = R(1-A) - B (A)
I need to solve A when:
dmdt= 0
R =0.1
B= 0.2
I am able to solve it by hand, but how can I solve this problem in MATLAB? Can I set this as a function?

If you have the symbolic toolbox,
syms A
R = 0.1
B = 0.2
Asol = solve( R*(1-A)-B*A, A)

the answer given is right, but I am just having trouble understanding it. in the code dmdt did not appear at all, so the solve function automatically assume the whole equation equals to zero?

I left that part out as it is 0.
syms A
R = 0.1
B = 0.2
dmdt = 0
Asol = solve( (R*(1-A)-B*A) - dmdt, A)
