exponential equation
sage: solve(exp(-x)+exp(x) == 2,x) [x == 0] sage: solve(exp(-2x)+exp(2x) == 2,x) []
Can tell me anyone why the second equation has no solution?
sage: solve(exp(-x)+exp(x) == 2,x) [x == 0] sage: solve(exp(-2x)+exp(2x) == 2,x) []
Can tell me anyone why the second equation has no solution?
I unfortunately don't have time to check why this doesn't work, but the following keyword argument (useful to know in any case) does work:
sage: (exp(-2*x)+exp(2*x) == 2).solve(x,to_poly_solve=True)
[x == I*pi*z15]
which should be interpreted as saying z15
is a free integer variable (hence z
). One can also do
sage: (exp(-x)+exp(x) == 2).solve(x,to_poly_solve='force')
[x == 2*I*pi*z24]
for all possible solutions to the original one. Unfortunately, finding the documentation for this (currently) requires using the method notation instead of functional
sage: solve?
notation.
