Dear all,
I am trying to make Maxima identify terms for me, for example
solve(x*y=a*(x+y)^2+b*(x-y)^2,[a,b]);
which I would like to give me a=1/4, b=-1/4. However, it seems that solve()
is not really made for this kind of equations[1]. Is there any other function
I can use for these problems?
Sincerely,
Ulf Ekstr?m, VU University Amsterdam
[1] I get: [[a=-(%r3*y^2+(-2*%r3-1)*x*y+%r3*x^2)/(y^2+2*x*y+x^2),b=%r3]]
