Computer Algebra System (CAS)

To produce the solutions for y(0) = 1, type:

which gives:

Example 2

Solve:

y” + y = cos(x)

y(0) = 1 y’(0) = 1

It is possible to solve for the constants from the outset.

Typing:

DESOLVE((d1d1Y(X)+Y(X)=COS(X))
AND (Y(0)=1) AND (d1Y(0)=1),Y(X))

gives:

ISOLATE

The zeros of an expression

ISOLATE returns the values that are the zeros of an
expression or an equation.

ISOLATE has two parameters: an expression or equation,
and the name of the variable to isolate (ignoring
REALASSUME).

Typing:

ISOLATE(X

4

-1=3,X)

gives in real mode:

(x = √2) OR (x = −√2)

and in complex mode:

(x = √2 · i) OR (x = −√2) OR
(x = −(√2 · i)) OR (x = √2)
