Session 1.11 Solving Simple Equations

> eq1:=x^2=3; Define equation with one unknown

> solve(eq1,x); Solve equation for x

> eq2:=x^3=0.5; Cubic equation should have 3 solutions

> solve(eq2,x); All solutions for cubic equation

Note : I is used for sqrt(-1)

> eqs:={x+3*y=5,2*x-y=3}; Define two equations with two unknowns

as a set using { and } to enclose them.

> solve(eqs,{x,y}); Solve system of equations simultaneously

> solve(eqs); <- If variable is not specified, Maple V

will select the variable
