Thanks John, I totally agree with you. the problem is that even though both commands "do the same", it's sometimes better to use a command over the other, or vice versa, leading to a confusion for me. Did you look at the example I gave in the attached image? I don't know why fsolve not solve the equation in any interval unless I specify optional arguments.

Success is the ability to go from one failure to the next without any loss of enthusiasm.
