When I input

cos(k*Pi) assuming k::odd

The result is -1

but

(-1)^k assuming k::odd

The result is (-1)^k

Why doesn't the second expression work?

AOA... How are you all. I need the answer of the following question.

input in Maple: expand(exp(a+b)+exp(c+b))

output:  exp(a)*exp(b)+exp(c)*exp(b)

and

input in Maple: expand(exp(2a+b)+exp(3c+b))

output:  (exp(a))^2*exp(b)+(exp(c))^3*exp(b)

but i need exp(2a)*exp(b)+exp(3c)*exp(b)

Say for a complicated function f(x), there are 10 solutions. I want to check for any of the solutions, the matrix R is defined or not.

Is there a way to force execution like the following ones?

seq(1/i,i=0..3);

for i from 0 to 3 do
    1/i;
end do;

I think the problem is that, Maple stops immediately when it's undefined. But the following terms could be defined.

Or is there a way to put this check into "solve"? That's

> solve(f(x),x, "some way of making sure that the solution has to be defined for the matrix R" )

Is there a way to achieve this?

Thanks

Hi guys.

I have variables that look like C[i,j,k,l], where i,j,k,l can range between 1..3 for example. Is there a simple way to create a pattern-based assumption for something like C[i,j,k,l] = C[j,i,k,l] for all i,j,k,l ?

Kind regards,

woggy

Maple returns the wrong answer to the following very simple double sum:

T:=(x,m)->sum( sum(binomial(m,k+p),k=1..m-p)*x^p,p=0..m-1);

Maple gives zero for all m>0.  However, the correct answer is a non-zero polynomial in x. 

For example, with Maple:

T(x, 3);
                               0

The correct answer is  x^2+4*x+7.

It would be helpful if others can check this double sum in their version of Maple and report results.

I set a physical model for my reseach,

equ1 := x^4-5*x

equ2 := 1/x+x^2+3

x is a function of time t and it meets diff(x(t), t) = equi-equ2.

I want to plot the curve of x(t) varying with time

When I use the following command

DEplot({x(0) = 0, diff(x(t), t) = equi-equ2},x(t), t = 0 .. 20)   it shows: Error, (in DEtools/DEplot) called with too few arguments

Who can tell me what is wrong with my calculation? Thanks

I keep getting an error about the while. It is calling it an invalid if statement.  It may relate to semi colons, but I cannot find any errors myself. Please help.

I'm trying to solve a series of equations and then graph them. I'm trying to solve for the variables involved:

values := solve({eq1, eq2, eq3, eq4, eq5, eq6, eq7, eq8, eq9,

eq10, eq11, eq12, eq13, eq14, eq15, eq16}, {a, b, b, c, d, e, f,

g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p});

. . . but it gives me this:

Warning, solving for expressions other than names or functions is not recommended. 

values := 

int(int(y, 0 <= y, x^2+y^2+z^2 <= 1));

Error, (in int) integration range or variable must be specified in the second argument, got 0 <= y

int(int(y, y = 0, x^2+y^2+z^2 = 1));

Error, (in int) integration range or variable must be specified in the second argument, got y = 0

A major-league pitcher releases a ball at a point 6 feet above the ground and 58 feet from home plate at a speed of 100 mi/hr ,  

If gravity had no effect, the ball would travel along a line and cross home plate 4 feet off the ground. Find the drop D caused by gravity.                                                                                                                                                      

NB: in this problem the angle alpha is the angle between the horizontal and the direction of the released ball. Since the ball is dropping, alpha will be negative.

Hi every body:

i have a second order ode and will convert to two ode of first order with maple,how do this work???

eq := diff(y(x), x, x)+2*y(x)+y(x)^2 = 0

taylor(1/(1+z^2), z = 1, 4)

The result is 

1/2-(1/2)*z-1+(1/4)*(z-1)^2+O((z-1)^4)

but in fact the result is 

1/2-(1/2)*(z-1)+(1/4)*(z-1)^2+O((z-1)^4)

my Maple is Maple 16,How to solve this problem?

Hi there,

is it possible to have the legend of a pointplot accepting arguments?

Say I have an array of 3 values (e.g. p:=[1.5,2,2.5]) representing a given parameter for a function. When representing this function by means of a plot, I would like the legend (legend="Parameter " + value in array; legend=["Parameter", "Parameter", "Parameter") to accept the contents of the array, without entering the values manually:

Parameter 1.5

Parameter 2

Parameter 2.5

How can this be achieved?

Thanks,

jon

When I plot an expresion I would the graphics be framed. What I am getting, instead, is the curve and the axis, whith no frame at all. How can I force Maple to make the graphic surrounded by a frame? 

@ecterrab 

I figured I'd start a new thread for odd things I come across whilst using the new physics package. 

I have found this, and am not sure if it is expected.
