Two other solutions are x = 3, y = 6, z = 1, and x = 8, y = 9, z = 2. There is a unique plane in three-dimensional space which passes through the three points with these coordinates, and this plane is the set of all points whose coordinates are solutions of the equation.
Pólya mentions that there are many reasonable ways to solve problems. [3] The skill at choosing an appropriate strategy is best learned by solving many problems. You will find choosing a strategy increasingly easy. A partial list of strategies is included: Guess and check [9] Make an orderly list [10] Eliminate possibilities [11] Use symmetry [12]
The coefficients found by Fehlberg for Formula 1 (derivation with his parameter α 2 =1/3) are given in the table below, using array indexing of base 1 instead of base 0 to be compatible with most computer languages:
[4] This will not work if squares or higher power of x occurs in an exponent, or if the "base constants" do not "share" a common q. sometimes, substituting y=xe x may obtain an algebraic equation; after the solutions for y are known, those for x can be obtained by applying the Lambert W function, [citation needed] e.g.:
The solution set for the equations x − y = −1 and 3x + y = 9 is the single point (2, 3). A solution of a linear system is an assignment of values to the variables ,, …, such that each of the equations is satisfied. The set of all possible solutions is called the solution set. [5]
[2] [3] They are also used for the solution of linear equations for linear least-squares problems [4] and also for systems of linear inequalities, such as those arising in linear programming. [5] [6] [7] They have also been developed for solving nonlinear systems of equations. [1]
[4] [5] [6] Cramer's rule, implemented in a naive way, is computationally inefficient for systems of more than two or three equations. [7] In the case of n equations in n unknowns, it requires computation of n + 1 determinants, while Gaussian elimination produces the result with the same computational complexity as the computation of a single ...
There exist algebraic solutions for cubic equations [1] and quartic equations, [2] which are more complicated than the quadratic formula. The Abel–Ruffini theorem, [3]: 211 and, more generally Galois theory, state that some quintic equations, such as + =, do not have any algebraic solution.
