I tried this command to solve the equation inside the brackets: solve('sqrt(((4 + 0.1*cos((PI/6)*t)) - ( 3 + 0.1*sin(cos((PI/3)*t))))^ 2+ ((9 + 0.1*sin((PI/6)*t)) - (6 + 0.1*sin((PI/3)*t)))^ 2)-4 = 0') Warning: Support of character vectors that are not valid variable names or define a number will be removed in a future release. To create symbolic expressions, first create symbolic variables and then use operations on them. > In sym>convertExpression (line 1559) In sym>convertChar (line 1464) In sym>tomupad (line 1216) In sym (line 179) In solve>getEqns (line 405) In solve (line 225) Warning: Do not specify equations and variables as character vectors. Instead, create symbolic variables with syms. > In solve>getEqns (line 445) In solve (line 225)
ans =
Empty sym: 0-by-1
What does this mean?Can anyone help to solve this equation?

There is no solution, since your function never crosses zero.
Run this to understand your problem:
syms t
f = symfun(sqrt(((4 + 0.1*cos((pi/6)*t)) - ( 3 + 0.1*sin(cos((pi/3)*t))))^ 2+ ((9 + 0.1*sin((pi/6)*t)) - (6 + 0.1*sin((pi/3)*t)))^ 2)-4, t);
figure(1)
fplot(f, [-50, 50])
axis([xlim -1.5 0.5])
grid
