2014-12-04 08:56:05 +0200 | answered a question | Solving systems of equations always returns [ ] I realize now that when I was testing this, I was only doing because I was only interested in the solution to f1. However this leaves f2 and f3 as free variables and so there are multiple ways to express your answer. This makes me wonder if I can directly tell Sage to solve for f1 in terms of a, b ,c ,d. |
2014-12-04 01:07:57 +0200 | asked a question | Solving systems of equations always returns [ ] Suppose I have the set of equations and I'm trying to solve for f1, f2 and f3: I've tried solving it in the following way This is easy to solve using matrices, and I have double-checked that the answer is fully constrained, so why does sage always return [ ]? I would have expected answers for f1, f2 and f3 in terms of a, b , c and d. Is there another argument to solve() that tells Sage what I want my answer in terms of? I would prefer to use solve() instead of matrices both for the sake of convenience and if I have a nonlinear system later on. |
