Question

MathCad 11: how to make the result shown in line with the equation like y:=2x=

Good luck with the new forum to begin with (For now it works like the first MC Prime Smiley Tongue with basic errors, namely certificate errors: needed to add a browser exception).

 

I am still using Mathcad 11. And I am a fun of it.

An evident point I miss is to be able to show a result of an equation  inline with the equation itself. For instance:

x:= 5     

y:= 2x= 10. Instead in my worksheets I need always to write y:= 2x   and again    y= 10.

In a worksheet that I opened recently, I found with my surprise the following equation asking from Matrix Mat_A its eigenvectors. And you can see it is followed with the "=" as I wanted.

Probably I copied from MC15 to MC11 or I did something else. I do not have recalls on how I did it. Now I am not even able to replicate it inside MC11.

Is someone able to explain if MC11 can do that. And if not, how can be explained the "exception" shown?

Thanks

I can understand you like MC11 - keep it as long as possible.

I can't try as I have no working MC11 at hand and I have no explanation how you could achieve numerical inline evaluation oin MC11. Maybe @LucMeekes can help here.

Is it possible to follow an assignment by a symbolical evealuation in MC11? I guess, yes. And I think you can make the arrow look like an equal sign in MC11 as well. This may be a work around in some situations.

I can't check at the moment. But I think the only way in '11 is through symbolic definition, then followed by equals.
Success!

Thanks to both for the feedback.

Symbolic inline evaluation works in MC11, as you said. Unfortunately the results are often not easily manageable in a worksheet. The same eigenvector evaluated in my initial post comes up now as  follows (I stretched the image, otherwise it would have been much longer):

Is it possible to reduce the number of decimals in this case so to make the result readable, as it appears with a simple "=" in the yellow image?

Still it remains to be understood how the original operation with "=", shown in the first post, can work in MC11.

In attachment the worksheet, with some explanations.
