Question: How do I change the form of the output solutions?

Hi, 

I have the following six equations that I need to solve:

eq1 := A^5*f6+A^4*f5+A^3*f4+A^2*f3+A*f2+f1 = ln(V1);
print(??); # input placeholder
eq2 := B^5*f6+B^4*f5+B^3*f4+B^2*f3+B*f2+f1 = ln(V2);

eq3 := 5*A^4*f6+4*A^3*f5+3*A^2*f4+2*A*f3+f2 = F1/V1;
eq4 := 5*B^4*f6+4*B^3*f5+3*B^2*f4+2*B*f3+f2 = F2/V2;
eq5 := 20*A^3*f6+12*A^2*f5+6*A*f4+2*f3 = G1/V1-[F1/V1]^2;
eq6 := 20*B^3*f6+12*B^2*f5+6*B*f4+2*f3 = G2/V2-[F2/V2]^2;

 where V1, V2, F1 & F2 have previously been found/defined in the worksheet (document).

When I use the solve command, more often than not I get the expression for the numerical calculation for each variable f1-f6, rather than an actual value:

solutionset := solve({eq1, eq2, eq3, eq4, eq5, eq6}, {f1, f2, f3, f4, f5, f6})

{f1 = 0.4096495220755576e-2*[-1.328181534188746]^2-0.3072371415566682e-1*[-9.408269235937702]^2+12.64287210303000, f2 = .3686845698680018*[-9.408269235937702]^2-49.98313436120349-0.6690942193900774e-1*[-1.328181534188746]^2, f3 = -1.423532089212563*[-9.408269235937702]^2+150.6490386090756+.3909877105143377*[-1.328181534188746]^2, f4 = -.9490213928083751*[-1.328181534188746]^2+1.954938552571689*[-9.408269235937702]^2-190.3706247009334, f5 = .8192990441511152*[-1.328181534188746]^2-1.115157032316796*[-9.408269235937702]^2+103.8844069311055, f6 = .2275830678197542*[-9.408269235937702]^2-20.57204700597870-.2275830678197542*[-1.328181534188746]^2}

 

Why is Maple not giving me the actual value for the variables, and how do I get it to do so, everytime? [In fact it did output the actual values once – but I have no idea what I did differently: it seems to be very random….]

i.e. how do I output the following:

solutionset := {f1 = 9.930572749191651, f2 = -17.46685689954139, f3 = 25.33406943774393, f4 = -19.00233912206421, f5 = 6.620988906086421, f6 = -.8288827301180226}

thanks
