Hello,
Can someone tell me why Mathcad isn't able to solve this simple variable? This command works everytime but with these types of equation it doesn't:
I have tried other commands but it still doesn't work:
The solution is quite simple, but I would like it to do it automatically:
Can somebody help me? Sorry if there are mistakes in my english. Thank you.
Hmm, one more example of the "new" symbolic engine which was introduced with Prime 6 having quite some flaws and being inferior compared to the old one (muPad), which in turn was far away from being perfect or even competitive with Maple or Mathematica.
You may consider reporting this bug to PTC support.
Prime 6 is the only version where we still could switch back to the old symbolic engine which finds the solution(s) with ease:
EDIT: I notice that I have a typo and the 5000 should be 5600
But it seems that you are just looking for a numeric result anyway, so why not use one of Primes numeric methods for solving an equation.
Either an ugly looking solve block or the "root" command in one of its two flavors:
BTW, a question to the community: Can anyone explain this error message which I get with a guess value larger than 0.5?
Looks like the algorithm tries values for x smaller than 10^-62, but why would he do so?
