I want to make a equation solver which will take any type of mathmatical equation as input .and return the roots.For that reason ,first the program need to read the equation.I want to input the equation in string format.then matlab will consider this as a function of x.
for example if i give input as
(sin(sqrt(x)+a) * e^sqrt(x)) / sqrt(x)
Matlab will read this as

and then i will plot the curve ,and the intersecting point with x axis is the solution of the equation.
How to do that?
Thanks in Advance

>> fun = str2sym("(sin(sqrt(x)+a) * e^sqrt(x)) / sqrt(x)")
fun =
(e^(x^(1/2))*sin(a + x^(1/2)))/x^(1/2)
>> pretty(fun)
sqrt(x)
e sin(a + sqrt(x))
-------------------------
sqrt(x)

Make assumptions on x and solve then:
syms x a
fun = str2sym("(sin(sqrt(x)+a) * exp(sqrt(x))) / sqrt(x)")
fun = subs(fun, a, 1)
assume([x>25, x<30])
intersect = solve(fun==0)
fplot(fun,[25,30])
xline(double(intersect),'k--')
yline(0,'k--')
