hi,

i have a symbolic equation and i want to solve with initial values which is x=1.2, y=1.2

syms x y;
u = -x^2 + x - y + 0.75;
v = x^2 - 5*x*y - y;

dux=diff(u,x);
duy=diff(u,y);
dvx=diff(v,x);
dvy=diff(v,y);

xi = x - (u*dvy - v*duy)/((dux*dvy)-(duy*dvx))

how to solve xi = ?   initial values are x=1.2 and y =1.2

or 

simplify(xi)

6/5 - (- 5*x^3 + 3*x^2 + (19*x)/4 + 3/4)/(- 10*x^2 + x + 5*y + 1)
how to solve above equation in x=1.2 and y=1.2

thanks a lot.

Your use of DIFF and your use of the term "initial values" makes me think 
you're trying to solve a differential equation (for which DSOLVE would be 
the appropriate tool) but your xi doesn't include any derivative terms, so 
I'm not _really_ sure what you're trying to do.  Please reply and clarify 
your exact goal.

i have a function

z = 6/5 - (- 5*x^3 + 3*x^2 + (19*x)/4 + 3/4)/(- 10*x^2 + x + 5*y + 1)

now i want to know value of the z(x,y) function where x=1.2 and y=1.2. 

z(1.2 , 1.2) = ?

but the function is symbolic, it's not double. how to solve symbolic function in certain value of x, y.

--------
if the func is double, just write like that.

x=1.2;
y=1.2;
z = 6/5 - (- 5*x^3 + 3*x^2 + (19*x)/4 + 3/4)/(- 10*x^2 + x + 5*y + 1)

ans=1.5435

%%%%
syms x y

z = 6/5 - (- 5*x^3 + 3*x^2 + (19*x)/4 + 3/4)/(- 10*x^2 + x + 5*y + 1);

subs(z,{x y},{1.2 1.2})

> subs(z,{x y},{1.2 1.2})

thanks a lot. it works :)
