Why does this SIMPLE code not work

The first and last f1 return the same result, even though x has been changed along the way. Why is this and how to fix it?
x = 1.5
f1= sin(x) + x*cos(x)
f2 = 2*cos(x)-x*sin(x)
x = x - (f1/f2)
f1
Thank you in advance!

In the last line, you are just printing to the screen the result you got in the 2nd line. If you want f1 to be calculated again you need to do so.
x = 1.5
f1= sin(x) + x*cos(x)
f2 = 2*cos(x)-x*sin(x)
x = x - (f1/f2)
f1_new = sin(x) + x*cos(x) % renamed so you can see that it is different than the original f1.

Thanks! I was thinking it might be something like that. I just find it completely illogical. The system should not work like that, but instead always recalculate it. Weird...

If you want it to work like that you can create an anonymous function making f1 a function handle like this (and f2 also just to remain consistent):
x = 1.5;
f1= @(x) sin(x) + x*cos(x);
f1(x)
f2 = @(x) 2*cos(x)-x*sin(x);
x = x - (f1(x)/f2(x))
f1(x)
