Dear All, I would like to define a function: f(x,y,z) with three arguments x,y,z, such that: given values for x,y, f(x,y,z) is still a function of z and that I am still allowed to find the root in terms of z when x,y are given. For example: f(x,y,z) = x+y + (x^2-z), given x=1,y=3, f(1,3,z)= 1+3+1-z is a function of z, and then I can use R to find the root z=5. Thank you. -Chee [[alternative
