Printing out proper equation statement using fprintf.

I need the following equation (fa(s)) to print out in this format. fa(s) =x.xxxx x^2 . Right now it is only printing out only this ... 6.0000. It doesn't want to print the x^2. Can someone help?

Code:

s=1;
fa(s) = 6*s.^2;


fprintf('%.4f',fa(s))

If you want ‘fa’ to be a function (outside of the Symbolic Math Toolbox) it needs to be careated as an anonymous function:

fa = @(s) 6*s.^2;

Then —

s=1;
fa = @(s) 6*s.^2;


fprintf('fa(x) = %.4f x^2',fa(s)./s)

fa(x) = 6.0000 x^2

I am not certain what you want.
