Hi

The function solve() in SAGE returns symbolic values for the variables i solve the equations for e.g.:

sage: s=solve(eqn,y)
sage: s
[y == -1/2*(sqrt(-596*x^8 - 168*x^7 - 67*x^6 + 240*x^5 + 144*x^4 - 60*x - 4) + 8*x^4 + 11*x^3 + 12*x^2)/(15*x + 1),
 y == 1/2*(sqrt(-596*x^8 - 168*x^7 - 67*x^6 + 240*x^5 + 144*x^4 - 60*x - 4) - 8*x^4 - 11*x^3 - 12*x^2)/(15*x + 1)]

My problem is that i need to use the values obtained for y in other calculations, but I cannot assign these values to any other variable. Could someone please help me with this?

Thank You

Did you intend to introduce some spam html code (advertising a Polish society) in your question ? Otherwise, it might be a virus... be careful.

No, sorry. It was a malware or something?

I have no idea where it came from but there was something. Hopefully, harmless.

There is an option in the function solve that allows to do that. To access the documentation of a function, just do

sage: solve?<ENTER>

You might like the option solution_dict=True

You can also have a look at these other questions
