How to write nonlinear equation with several variables to use with bisection?

1 view (last 30 days)
I'm new to MATLAB so forgive me if this question already exists, I'm just not sure what to search for exactly.
Basically I have the following equation:
4ba^3 + c^3 - 3a*c^2 = 0
I thought I would need to write the following function:
function output = myFunction(a,b,c)
output = 4ba^3 + c^3 - 3a*c^2;
end
and then I could call the bisection method like so:
a = some value
b = some value
bisection(@myFunction,Xl,Xr,iterations,tolerance)
but I get an error not enough inout arguments, which I can only attribute to the lack of a specified c, which I thought the bisection would handle.
How do I correctly write the function so I can use it with bisection?

a = some value
b = some value
bisection(@(X) myFunction(a,b,X),Xl,Xr,iterations,tolerance)
