Trying to make a goal seek like program using fsolve?

26 views (last 30 days)
this is the code I currently have
clear all; close all; clc
f= @(x) Average1(x)-65;
engineering= 30; % Intiall estimate
function Average = Average1(engineering) % final grade
engineering = fsolve0(f,engineering)
calculus= 55;
chemistry= 76;
physics= 85;
english= 50;
a= calculus+chemistry+physics+english+engineering;
Average = a/5;
end
when I try to run it i don't get any errors or outputs.
I am trying to make a program that will take 4 veriable values and a wanted avereage of 65 to find the 5th veriable (in this case engineering) minimum value to get a overall average of 65. I am unsure of what am doing wrong I know that the answer for Engineering should be 59 to get a average of 65.

engineering = fsolve(f,engineering)
Equation solved. fsolve completed because the vector of function values is near zero as measured by the value of the function tolerance, and the problem appears regular as measured by the gradient.
engineering = 59.0000
f(engineering)
ans = 1.2486e-08
function Average = Average1(engineering)
calculus= 55;
chemistry= 76;
physics= 85;
english= 50;
a= calculus+chemistry+physics+english+engineering;
Average = a/5;
end
