fsolve for scalar functions

[Vivek Shanmuganathan \(95410006-BS\)]

It seems that fsolve is defined for vector valued functions 

        F(X)

such that

        fsolve("F", X0)

return X such that F(X) = 0.

X and X0 are vectors, and F is vector valued.

Can fsolve be used for
a scalar valued function f(x)
even when X, and X0 are vectors?

My problem is to solve

f( y1(t), y2(t), y3(t), y4(t), t) = 0

where t is the only independent variable,
and f(.) is a scalar.
 
Thanks.

Vivek...
