Question

What is the syntax to solve simultaneous equations easily?

(a) solve[“equation-1”,”equation-2”];

(b) sol[“equation-1” “equation-2”];

(c) sol[‘equation-1’‘equation-2’];

(d) solve[‘equation-1’,‘equation-2’];

The question was posed to me in a national level competition.

Query is from Solving Equations in chapter MATLAB Basics of MATLAB

Answer 1

The correct option is (d) solve[‘equation-1’,‘equation-2’];

The explanation is: To solve equations simultaneously, we need to place the equations within the pre-defined MATLAB function ‘solve’ as string arguments within a pair of single inverted commas and separated by a comma. The function sol can also be used but the syntax within the third bracket is same. So, solve[‘equation-1’,‘equation-2’]; is correct.
