I am new user to Matlab. I want to calculate the value of y for a given value of x

if x=8

x=(y^2)+2

how to write code to find y???

Answer 1

[Adam]

y = [-1 1] .* sqrt( x - 2 );

This is maths rather than Matlab though. Once you rearrange the equation the Matlab code for it is trivial!

There are numerous ways to code it and if you don't care about the negative root then it is even more trivial.

I want to calculate value of y without rearranging the equation. Although I have mentioned simple equation here, I have bigger equation...

[Adam]

You probably need the Symbolic Math Toolbox for that then, although it isn't something I do in my work so there may be methods in base Matlab too.
