Solving Equations

What method is used to solve equation in Axiom?

fricas
solve(sin(x)=4/5,x)

\label{eq1}\left[{x ={\arcsin \left({4 \over 5}\right)}}\right](1)
Type: List(Equation(Expression(Integer)))
fricas
solve([a=4,sin(x)=a/5],[a,x])

\label{eq2}\left[{\left[ \right]}\right](2)
Type: List(List(Equation(Expression(Integer))))

In the following, a workaround is necessary because of bug #128:

solve(v^4+b*v^3+c*v^2+d=0,v)

\label{eq3}\left[{{{{v}^{4}}+{b \ {{v}^{3}}}+{c \ {{v}^{2}}}+ d}= 0}\right](3)
Type: List(Equation(Fraction(Polynomial(Integer))))

This didn't work since solve returns solutions expressible as members of the ground field only. Above, the ground field of v^4+b<em>v^3+c</em>v^2+d defaults to Fraction Polynomial Integer...

Thus, the proper call is

fricas
solve((v^4+b*v^3+c*v^2+d)::EXPR INT=0,v)

\label{eq4}\begin{array}{@{}l}
\displaystyle
\left[{v = \%v 0}, \:{v = \%v 1}, \: \right.

\
\
\displaystyle
\%v 1 - \%v 0 - b 
(4)
Type: List(Equation(Expression(Integer)))

But really, you should use 'zeroOf':

fricas
zeroOf(v^4+b*v^3+c*v^2+d, v)

\label{eq5}\%v 0(5)
Type: Expression(Integer)

In the following, we have to do three things:

  • convert the list of Fraction Polynomial Float to a list of Fraction Polynomial Integer, since solve can only handle the latter,
  • ask for an approximate solution and
  • set precision to a lower value then 68, since it would take too much time otherwise

Furthermore, it's %pi, not %PI.

Here is one way to use macros and _ to define more complex names that print nicely in LaTeX form:

The reason is that above Q1 and Q2 are parameters. In such case FriCAS seeks solution in rational functions of Q1 and Q2 and there is no such solution. Instead one should solve also for Q1 and Q2:
