Hello,

I have equation, which includes square roots. e.g.:

I know, that sqrt() will only return positive value, therefore when I put some values of a,b and c:

I get only one answer:

3.000000000

My question is how to calculate that second branch of the solution without altering eq. itself? (In my case this equation is derived from somewhere else and it cannot be modified)

Hello,

Is it possible in Maple to select summand with some command?

For example:

eq := a+b = 0;
                           a + b = 0
eq-b;
                             a = -b

How to generalize second line?(in this case I explicitly told to subtract b, but I want to pick b by some command)

And I am not talking about solving, isolation or anything like that in this case. I just want to transfer something from lhs to rhs by selecting it beforehand.

Thank you.

Hello,

How can one simplify following expression:

After applying 'simplify' command I am getting this:

Powers are not distributed between bases.

How to force Maple simplify it further to

Thank you.
