Hello everyone.

 

I believe I have come across some kind of bug in Maple 11, and I was wondering if anyone could confirm that I am not crazy and that I am not using the software incorrectly.  When using the solve command, I get some very weird stuff:

 

evalf(solve(x^3+1/4 = x))

 

evalf(solve(x^3+.25 = x))

 

The second gives the correct answers.  The first gives three complex roots.  Am I doing something wrong?

 

Thanks,

John
