Plugging in values into matlab function

Hello, I want to know how to plug in multiple values into an equation that contains multiple variables. I've read using the anonymous function might be useful but I'm not entirely sure. Below is an example of what I mean

P = [eq1;eq2]

x = 1 , y = 3, z = 5

I want matlab to be able to plug in the values of x, y and z into the P matrix (for eq1 and eq2) so that it produces a matrix with number values, so something like P = [2;2]

What is the data type of eq1 and eq2 ?

[Jb179]

for example eq1 = x^2 +2y +3z and eq2 would be a similiar function

[Walter Roberson]

So is that

P = {'x^2 +2y +3z'; 'x*y -2z^2'}

or is that

P = ['x^2 +2y +3z'; 'x*y -2z^2  ']

or is it

syms x y z
P = [x^2 +2*y +3*z; x*y -2*z^2]

or is it

syms x y z
P = [x^2 + 2*y + 3*z; x*y - 2*z^2]

or something else?

I basically want to do something similar to this:

f= @(x) ... [ 2*x(1)^2+x(1)*x(2)-x(1)-2 ;x(1)^2-x(2) ];

J= @(x) ... [ 4*x(1)+x(2)-1 x(1) ;2*x(1) -1 ];

x=[0.9; 1.1];

however instead of using x(1) I would you x or x(2) would be z

See https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/369859-i-have-an-array-of-anonymous-functions-2x2-array-4-functions-each-with-2-variables-x1-and-x2-an#answer_293659 which is a bit different but gives an idea of how messy it can start to get.

Have you considered possibilities such as

x = @(V) V(1);
y = @(V) V(2);
z = @(V) V(3);
f = @(V) [ 2*x(V)^2+x(V)*y(V)-X(V)-2; x(V)^2-y(V) ];
J = @(V) [ 4*x(V)+y(V))-1*x(V); 2*x(V)-1 ];
