hey,

I am quite new to maple, and was just trying to figure out in what cases you use fsolve rather then solve and vise versa...

Hey,

Thanks for that, for some reason when I do it, I get imaginary numbers... How can I stop this from happening?

-.6000000000-1.907878403*I, -.6000000000+1.907878403*I

Thanks

sorry, I should have included that...  u = 0.5, a = 0.05, b = 0.1, c = 2, and d = 2.

when I try to do:

P(s):

for .25, ie: > P(.25)

there should be two values at this point, but maple only seems to print one value??

Thanks

For the equation

P(s) = (1/a) * ((u*s*b)/(c + s + (s^2/d)))

at s=.25, there are two values... how do you solve for ALL values of x, (I am looking for the larger value)...

How exactly would you enter the above into maple?  I get an error when I do it,,

sorry, about the incorrect term, i meant evaluate, not solve.  Thanks for the answer though...

What operations require the package (ie: I assume basic operations should be able to be completed without the linear algebra package, correct?

there must be a simpler way to solve this, is there not?

ok,

so if I want to solve x at say .25 with the equation above, would I write:

> fsolve(x^2 + 5*x + 5 = 0, x=.25);

Thanks
