Ask HN: Need help solving simultaneous nonlinear equations
2 points by mikem09122 on Jan 25, 2009 | hide | past | favorite | 2 comments
I am trying to solve these following equations for x and y in terms of constants a, b, Q, c and C

(1) exp(a)(x+y+Q)^b + exp(a)bx(x+y+Q)^(b-1) – c = 0

(2) exp(a)(x+y+Q)^b + exp(a)by(x+y+Q)^(b-1) – C = 0

I've attempted several approaches, also using iterative methods, but have not found a solution.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!




Be honest. Is this a homework assignment?


No, it's part of a model I'm working on for a thesis.
