Problem with square brackets in fSolve

[rawi]

I wanted to solve a system of 2 equations with X and Y as unknowns. Whenever I opened the square brackets a +/- sign was included that could not be removed. So it looked different to the examples in the manual.
So I went to CAS menue (not in CAS mode) and Numerical Solve so there was CAS.fsolve() on the screen. Then I pressed Help.
There were two examples. The second example was
fsolve([x²+y-2,x+y²-2],[x,y],[0,0])
I pressed Example and highlighted the second example. When I copied it I got:
CAS.fsolve([x²+y-2 x+y²-2 +/-],[x y +/-],[0 0 +/-])
Pressing Enter gives message: Error: Syntax Error

It seems that the elements in the square brackets are interpreted as elements of a matrix. How can I use the fSove function for more than one equation?

Thank you very much for your help!

The simplest way is to use fsolve in CAS mode.

If you want to use it in HOME , then CAS.fsolve("[x²+y-2,x+y²-2],[x,y],[0,0]") or CAS("fsolve([x^2+y-2,x+y^2-2],[x,y],[0,0])") will work.

Hi Didier,

thank you very much for your fast and helpful answer. In CAS mode it works fine. I tried in home mode and there I got again the message "Error: Syntax Error".

In CAS mode the +/- before the closing of the square bracket that is generated as soon a square bracket is opened disappear when pressing Enter. In home mode it does not disappear.
And I think it strange that this is a problem to be solved in CAS mode as it is a strictly numeric problem.

But I am glad that I now know how to do it. Thank you once more!
