I am trying to solve a parametric equation for different values of x. I
would like to plot the solutions as a function of x. I set up a loop (old
habits from my grad school days programming in FORTRAN). Since FindRoot has
the HoldAll attribute, I am using Evaluate. The Print{%] statement inside
the loop outputs -graphics-, which were produced right before the loop
starts. The last % correctly outputs the last value computed.
Clearly, I don't know enough about how Mathematica stores values and
therefore can't extract them. Do I define a function to store the values?
But what are the values called when FindRoot solves the equation at each
iteration?
