CAS: solve solutions
hp-prime
solve(((x+5)*e^x) = ((x+5)*e^(2*x))) [ENTER] returns -> {0} // one answer why the CAS returns only one answer? Expanded form expand( (x+5)*e^x) = (x+5)*e^(2*x) ) [ENTER] returns -> x*e^x+5*e^x = x*e^(2*x)+5*e^(2*x) mathematica returns 3 answers https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=(x...*e%5E(2*x) [ENTER] returns -> x = -5 // real solution x = 0 // real solution x = 2*π*i*n where n ∈ Z // a symbolic answer =] |

RE: CAS: solutions
I tried it (with different parentheses) and, after a cryptic warning, got the same answer Mathematica did.

RE: CAS: solve solutions
Have you select Complex? (CAS settings)
I have the same answer as Steve (10077) — Dirk Hartland |

RE: CAS: solve solutions
but the answer (-5) is not complex output is real number

Deselect complex, answer is {0} Selected complex, answer is {-5 0} — Dirk Hartland |

RE: CAS: solve solutions
Specifying a range works here as well.
-10..10 returns -5,0 also Perhaps bernard can shed some light as to why it only finds the one solution in this case without specifying a range. TW Although I work for HP, the views and opinions I post here are my own. |

The warning I got was: Warning: solving x in equation
-x*(e^x)^2+x*e^x-5*(e^x)^2+5*e^x=0 Anybody know what this warning means? |

RE: CAS: solve solutions
Right, with complex on it gives both answers.
Does it need to use complex numbers for some substitution? |

RE: CAS: solve solutions
With the current version of Xcas I get -5 and 0 for solve((x+5)*e^x = (x+5)*e^(2*x),x). I don't know why it does not work for older versions of giac.
