After I ran the following I got a valid image but what do the r's
stand for in the solve part? They don't seem to have a value
but I didn't get an error.
var('x y')
show(plot3d(x^2 + y^2, (x,-2,2), (y,-2,2)))
[image]
solve(x^2 + y^2==0,[x,y])
[[x == r1, y == I*r1], [x == r2, y == -I*r2]]
Sometimes solving an equation gives a family of solutions with one or more parameters.
Complex-valued parameters are denoted by c1, c2, etc.
Real-valued parameters are denoted by r1, r2, etc.
Integer-valued parameters are denoted by z1, z2, etc.
Example:
sage: solve (x - x == 0, x)
[x == r1]

For some reason the y answer is sqrt(-1) times r1, etc, but isn't showing up in my query.
