How to solve a function with symbolic tool
Show older comments
I want to solve a function with symbolic math toolbox. The equation is quite simple but I can't solve it for the variale I want by hand. It should contain two function handles and one of them contain the variable I want to solve for. Here is the code:
gamma = 1.4;
M0 = 1.5;
PhiD = 0.93;
ed=0.9298;
fM =@ (M) (sqrt(gamma).*M)./(1+0.5*(gamma-1).*M^2)^((gamma+1)/(2*(gamma-1)));
syms M
f = ed*(fM(M)/fM(M0))-PhiD;
Mi=solve(f,M)
Last command returns a 1x1 sym variable and the command window displays : Mi =

But Mi should be a number. How can I fix it ?
