Dear all,
I am trying to solve a polynomial using Maxima, but I cannot get an
explicit answer. My polynomial is of the following form:
x^(3/2) a - x b + x^(1/2) c - d =0, where a,b,c and d are composed of
several variables, but are not of interest.
So, I would like to be able to solve this polynomial (I am not a
mathematician, but I think solving such a polynomial is feasible using a
mathematical software, no ?) using Maxima to get to an answer of the form
x=f(a,b,c,d) and not x=f(a,b,c,d,x), as I now get using the command
"solve" (i.e, the answer I am given is not explicit).
I must say that I am quite new with Maxima and that I haven't understood
yet how everything works. So, if somebody could help me with this, it
would be really nice.
Best regards.
Laure
