Why MATLAB cannot give the correct result of the quartic equation?
Although the MATLAB owns the built-in solve() to solve the quartic equation, the solve() function gives some error information in some cases. So I write a user-defined function called solveQuartic() to solve the roots of quartic equations.
The…

Solving bitwise XOR and ADD equation
Naturally XOR can be used twice to get back the original value. What if the original value is part of the mask?
Encoding:
e[i] = c[i] ^ (c[i] + c[i-1])
Assuming: starting value c[-1] = 0, ^ means bitwise XOR
In imperative C form:
void encode(byte…

Solve equation with exponential term
I have the equation 1 = ((π r2)n) / n! ∙ e(-π r2)
I want to solve it using MATLAB. Is the following the correct code for doing this? The answer isn't clear to me.
n= 500;
A= 1000000;
d= n / A;
f= factorial( n );

Scipy - Non-linear Equations System with linear constraints (beginner)
I have seen this amazing example.
But I need to solve system with boundaries on X and F, for example:
f1 = x+y^2 = 0
f2 = e^x+ xy = 0
-5.5< x <0.18
2.1< y < 10.6
# 0.15< f1 <20.5 - not useful for this example
# -10.5< f2 < -0.16 - not…

Is it possible to get explicit solution to the following equation in Matlab?
Note, the question is edited.
I set the restrictions as suggested and received the following outcome:
syms f1 f2 M b1 b2
assume (M > 1 & b1 > 0 & b2 > 0)
S = solve ( [(f1^M)/(f2^M) - M/(b1*f1) + M + 1 == 0, ...
(f2^M)/(f1^M) - M/(b2*f2) + M + 1 ==…

Is it possible to find the value of x in python? i.e asking python to solve an equation such as 2x + 23 - 7x when x is not a pre-defined variable
What I want is a program that can determine the value of x from an equation when x is not yet defined i.e. not a python variable.
Just an example below, not the real thing.
sol = eval("input please type the equation: ")
#i.e sol = 32x -…
