isolate function is not providing multiple solutions to a polynomial problem?
Show older comments
I used the "isolate function" as per matlab documentation, https://in.mathworks.com/help/symbolic/sym.isolate.html
The first example shown for isolating 'x' from a quadratic equation gives only one root as output. Can someone explain how to get other root of quadratic as output?
Isolate Variable in Equation
Isolate x in the equation a*x^2 + b*x + c == 0.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
syms x a b c
eqn = a*x^2 + b*x + c == 0;
xSol = isolate(eqn, x)
-----------------------------------------------
xSol =
x == -(b + (b^2 - 4*a*c)^(1/2))/(2*a)

syms x a b c
eqn = a*x^2 + b*x + c == 0;
xSol = solve(eqn, x)
pretty(xSol)
