This below is not solvable with uniroot to find "a":
fn=function(a){
b=(0.7/a)-a
(1/(a+b+1))-0.0025
}
uniroot(fn,c(-500,500)) gives
"Error in uniroot(fn, c(-500, 500)) : f() values at end points not of
opposite sign"
I read R-help posts and someone wrote a function:

but it is not very precise. Is there any '"standard" function in R that can
solve this? thanks.
