use of fminunc with more than one variables

I am working to solve an uncostraint non-linear optimization using 'fminunc'
there are two versions
1.using a vector for different variables
>> fminunc(@(x)(x(1)-x(2)^0.4)/x(1), [1,2])
Solver stopped prematurely.
fminunc stopped because it exceeded the function evaluation limit,
options.MaxFunctionEvaluations = 200 (the default value).
ans =
1 2
2. using different variables
>> fminunc(@(x1,x2)(x1-x2^0.4)/x1, 1,2, 'options')
Unable to perform assignment because dot indexing is not supported for variables of this type.
Error in createOptionFeedback (line 33)
options.(stopTestOptions{k}) = [];
Error in prepareOptionsForSolver (line 57)
optionFeedback = createOptionFeedback(options);
Error in fminunc (line 156)
[options, optionFeedback] = prepareOptionsForSolver(options, 'fminunc');
As you can observe, the 1st version works, whereas 2nd fails.
What is the reason for this error, Is there way to make work the 2nd version ?
Thanks,
best regards,
Rahul

If you have Release 2019a, you can also use the problem-based workflow, which would allow you to use two different control variables.
