Solve

Usage

Solve[eqns, vars] 求解变量 vars 的方程或方程组.
Solve[eqns, vars, elims] 求解变量 vars的方程, 并消去变量elims.


Notes

• 方程以lhs Equal rhs 的形式给出.
• 联立方程可放在一个列表中或使用&&联合起来.
• 可以指定单变量或一个变量列表. • Solve[eqns] 试图求解出eqns中所有变量.
• 例如: Solve[3 x + 9 Equal 0, x].
Solve 按形如 x -> sol 的规则给出解.
• 如存在多个变量, 则解按规则列表:  x ->  , y ->  , ...  给出.
• 如存在多个解, Solve 给出由它们构成的列表.
• 如一个特定根的重数大于1, Solve 将给出对应解的多个副本.
Solve 主要处理线性和多项式方程.
• 可选项 InverseFunctions 指定 Solve 是否应使用逆函数以求解更多一般方程的解. 缺省设置为 InverseFunctions->Automatic. 这时, Solve 可使用逆函数, 但会输出一个警告信息. 参见 InverseFunctions的注释.
Solve 只给出一般的解. 它不处理只有参数满足特殊条件才有效的解. Reduce 给出完整的解集.
Solve 并不总能得到方程的显式解. 它将给出它能给出的显式解, 然后按Root对象给出剩余根的符号表示. 如果符号参数个数足够少, 你可以使用 N 获得这些解的数值近似.
• 如果方程无解,Solve 返回 {} .
Solve[eqns, ... , Mode->Modular] 用于求解同余方程. 你可以通过引用方程 ModulusEqualp来指定要使用的特殊模数. 如果你不使用这样的方程,Solve将按可能的模数求解.
Solve 使用特殊有效的技术处理近似数值系数的线性方程稀疏系统.

Further Examples

Polynomial equations in one variable

These are standard formulas for the solutions of normalized quadratic and cubic equations.

In[1]:=  

Out[1]=

In[2]:=  

Out[2]=

Here are two simple equations of higher degree with solutions in terms of powers. They can be rewritten in terms of trigonometric functions that sometimes automatically reduce to radicals.

In[3]:=  

Out[3]=

In[4]:=  

Out[4]=

In[5]:=  

Out[5]=

In[6]:=  

Out[6]=

For some equations, Mathematica produces the result in terms of Root objects (or algebraic numbers). The first argument of Root is an irreducible polynomial expressed as a pure function and the second argument identifies the choice of root.

In[7]:=  

Out[7]=

We can get a numerical result by applying N.

In[8]:=  

Out[8]=

This pulls all of the rules for x out of the result.

In[9]:=  

Out[9]=

Polynomial equations in more than one variable

Here we solve for x and y.

In[10]:=  

In[11]:=  

Out[11]=

In this case we eliminate y first and then solve for x.

In[12]:=  

Out[12]=

In[13]:=  

Here we solve two simultaneous algebraic equations. The spurious potential solution  is rejected.

In[14]:=  

Out[14]=

Here are three simultaneous algebraic equations; y and z must be paired up correctly with x.

In[15]:=  

Out[15]=

Here Solve returns an empty list, indicating no solution. Every potential solution forces an equation in the parameter z alone, so there are no generic solutions.

In[16]:=  

Out[16]=

We can get solutions by solving for z as well as x and y.

In[17]:=  

Out[17]=

We eliminate e, s, and t to get d in terms of the remaining variables.

In[18]:=  

Out[18]=

Verification is not done by default for polynomial systems. The purported solutions to this system are nowhere near correct.

In[19]:=  

Out[19]=

When there is numeric instability, setting VerifySolutions to True will take longer but will make the result more reliable.

In[20]:=  

Out[20]=

In[21]:=  

Radical equations

In radical equations, Solve discards parasite solutions.

In[22]:=  

Out[22]=

In[23]:=  

Out[23]=

In[24]:=  

Out[24]=

To see all candidate solutions, including parasites, set VerifySolutions to False.

In[25]:=  

Out[25]=

If you can be sure that zero denominators will not affect the solution set, clearing them often makes Solve faster.

In[26]:=  

Out[26]=

In[27]:=

Suppressing messages

The equations that follow in the rest of this notebook come from various papers and from questions submitted by users. Solve generates warning messages for many non-polynomial equations.

In[29]:=  

Out[29]=

To improve readability, we will now suppress warning messages about inverse functions. These messages will be turned back on at the end of this set of examples.

This last example comes from a typo in a quadratic.

Out[51]=

We will now turn the inverse function warning messages back on that were turned off earlier in this set of examples.
