Maple 12, both of these work: A := vector([a,b,c]); B := vector([1,2,3]); evalm(A+B); A := Vector([a,b,c]); B := Vector([1,2,3]); evalm(A+B);

M := Vector([2,2,2,2,2,2,2]); M := Vector([2,2,2,2,2,2,2]); Result := 7+M; Error, (in rtable/Sum) invalid arguments

Another feature in Maple is convert( ... , FormalPowerSeries) maybe that will do > f := sin(a*x^2); sin(a*x^2) > convert(f,FormalPowerSeries,x=0); Sum(a*(-a^2)^k*x^(4*k+2)/factorial(2*k+1), k = 0 .. infinity) --- G A Edgar

Where you wrote psin(p) you probably want p*sin(p) Or, using the 2D entry, maybe you really do have a multiply, and we cannot see it here. --- G A Edgar

Assuming J1 means Jx with x=1 ... can you solve the very special case {a=1,b=0,v=0,c=1} ?? Namely BesselK(1, x)*x-(1-x^2)^(1/2)*BesselK(0, x)*BesselJ(1, (1-x^2)^(1/2)) = 0 The solution is about x=0.1190028 but Maple does not solve even that sumbolically. --- G A Edgar

diff(u(z),z,z)=g*S/Az The items on the right are NOT functions of z ? So this says the second derivative of u(z) is a certain constant? bc=Az*D(u)(z)=0 So this says the derivative of u is zero [and thus u itself is conatant]? Looks like I cannot see your actual meanings! --- G A Edgar

the problem narrowed down ... > ineq1 := sqrt(a^2-4*x) < a; ineq1 := (a^2-4*x)^(1/2) < a > solve(ineq1,x) assuming a > 0; {x < 0, (1/4)*a^2 < x} > ineq2 := map(u->u^2,ineq1); ineq2 := a^2-4*x < a^2 > solve(ineq2,x) assuming a > 0; RealRange(Open(0), infinity) --- G A Edgar

I guess you mean this... > eq1 := x = sqrt(x^2+1)/x; eq1 := x = (x^2+1)^(1/2)/x > solve(eq1,x); -(1/2)*(2+2*5^(1/2))^(1/2), (1/2)*(2+2*5^(1/2))^(1/2) Do you think this is wrong? --- G A Edgar

Fnction solve can return an expression sequence like this 3,4,5 if it found these three solutions. In your case, Maple found no solutions, so the answer returned is the empty expression list. --- G A Edgar

Maple does not do this by default, because it is WRONG if things are not positive ... f := -1/n/n1*(-n1*n*K^2+K^2*n1^2+n1*n^2*L-L*n*n1^2)^(1/2)+z: f1 := map(simplify,f,symbolic): evalf(subs({n1=-1,n=1,K=0,z=0,L=1},f=f1)); 1.414213562*I = -1.414213562*I --- G A Edgar

I'm teaching multidimensional calculus this term, and note this inconsistency among textbooks. Perhaps (r,theta,phi) was considered bad since it is "left handed" (negative Jacobian), so to repair it some textbook author switched to (r,phi,theta) ... and now there are different conventions in different textbooks. And (it seems) Maple developers did not all use the same textbook... --- G A Edgar

The exact value will be an elliptic integral. What arc length formula (presumably an integral) do you want to use? Parametric form or perhaps solve for y and do the top half ? --- G A Edgar

We don't see those screenshots. Their URLs seem to refer to C: so I assume they are on your own hard disk and not here at mapleprimes. You are not solving and equation, but an inequality. Also, use proper Maple syntax with parentheses, like 10^(-5) and 1/(n+1) --- G A Edgar

Presumably you want help, and not merely a solution. First ... For production level x, what would the profit be? Some formula in terms of x that you have to find. Second ... Given a formula for the profit, how do you find the maximum? --- G A Edgar
