Hi, i'm using sage in a course and we came up with some problems concerning the absolute value and the solve-function. We started to solving the equation abs(abs(x-2)-1)==4 for real x. But even easier equations makes problems:
solve(abs(x)==5,x) Is there a reason why sage isn't able to give a useful answer to this? And even using abs_symbolic gives no result. How can i reformulate my equation, so that sage is able to solve it? What i found out myself: if i use sqrt(x^2) as a substitute for the absolute value, it works. But it would be much nicer if one could use just abs (without further thinking). -MRK- -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
