How do I write matlab code for solving the following equation ?
Show older comments
As we have been provided the y in terms of vector. How can we solve the vector x for corresponding values of y? Please help.
y=0:1:10;
y=x-sin(x)/sqrt(1+sin(x));

Pawan, you could do
syms x
y = 0:1:10;
for n = 1:numel(y)
yn(n) = vpasolve(y(n)-x+sin(x)./sqrt(1+sin(x))==0);
end
Note, that there are numerous solutions for a particular y-value.

Sure, again, there are multiple solutions, which you will find depending on the starting value.
y = 0:1:10;
for n = 1:numel(y)
yn(n) = fsolve(@(x) y(n)-x+sin(x)/sqrt(1+sin(x)), 10);
end

If you want to do it numerically, how about
x=0:1:10;
y=x-sin(x)/sqrt(1+sin(x))
plot(x, y, 'bs-', 'LineWidth', 2);
% Try to find x for which y = 5.
desiredY = 5;
[minDiff, desiredXIndex] = min(abs(y - desiredY))
hold on;
plot(x(desiredXIndex), y(desiredXIndex), ...
'r*', 'MarkerSize', 15, 'LineWidth', 2);
grid on;
