The output of FindRoot[] when trying to find a root is like:
{x -> 0.49454545}
How can I convert that list, into the number 0.49454545?
In[1]:= FindRoot[x+9,{x,-5}]
Out[1]= {x -> -9.}
In[2]:= Head[%]
Out[2]= List
I can't seem to find any "normal" operations on the list which give me
the number.
Dave
