I'm asked to solve the equations below simultaneously using fsolve.

f := x*exp((1 - x)*a);
f[2] := subs(x=f,f);
eq[1] := f[2] - x;
eq[2] := diff(f[2],x) + 1;

fsolve({eq[1],eq[2]},{x,a}):

fsolve doesn't seem to work here for some reason.

Any help help would be great!

Thanks

Hi, i'm trying to solve the simultaneous equations,

a[1]:=2*x^2 + 3*x^2 + x*y - x^2 + x;

a[2]:=3*y^2 + 4*x^2 - y;

eval(y,fsolve({a[1],a[2]},{x,y}));
0.

Even though y can be 0 it can also be 1/3 and two other complex numbers.

How do you get fsolve to show all four y solutions.

Secondly, how would i get maple to just to show the positive y solution ie. 1/3 only.

Using the fsolve commmand how does one solve for just the positive solutions and remove the dublicate values?

Thanks

Is there a way of increasing the spacing between the maple input and output?

Thanks

Hi, i was wondering how you would solve the equation

30+1144*r^4-832*r^2=0, 

exactly in maple.

Using the command

fsolve(30+1144*r^4-832*r^2);

-0.8301954535, -0.1950595709, 0.1950595709, 0.8301954535

Also, if possible how would you get maple to find the two exact positive solutions.

Thanks
