Hi everyone,
I have a simple question. There is my code, it integrates a function which is a solution of the equation:
bc[r_, x_] := r + x^2;
sol[r_] := Re[x /. FindRoot[bc[r, x] == 0, {x, 1.1 + I}]];
NIntegrate[sol[r], {r, 1, 8}]
Trying this code, I got these messages:
FindRoot::nlnum: "The function value {(0.21 +2.2\ I)+r}\\n is not a list of numbers with dimensions {1} at {epseff} = {1.1 +1.` I}"
ReplaceAll::reps: "{FindRoot[bc[r,epseff]==0,{epseff,1.1 +I}]}\\n is neither a list of replacement rules nor a valid dispatch table, and so cannot be used for replacing"
Sorry if it's too dumb but I cannot see why NIntegrate couldn't just use exact value for r every time. Isn't it how numerical integration is supposed to work?
Thank you
