Un-able to interpret math results

Posted 4 years ago

https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=D+%3D+F%2FK+%2B+Z*%28F%2FR%29%5E6+solve+for+F

Really not sure what some of these symbolsenter image description here mean. Any help interpreting this would be great.

They are parametrized roots to a polynomial equation of degree 6.

Thank you for your response. I am not sure what that means. I am looking for a function F(D), K & R are constants.

You have six such solutions, each a parametrized branch of polynomial roots.

In Mathematica:

solns = ff /. Solve[dd == ff/kk + z*(ff/rr)^6, ff]

(* Out[73]= {Root[dd - #1/kk - (z #1^6)/rr^6 &, 1], 
 Root[dd - #1/kk - (z #1^6)/rr^6 &, 2], 
 Root[dd - #1/kk - (z #1^6)/rr^6 &, 3], 
 Root[dd - #1/kk - (z #1^6)/rr^6 &, 4], 
 Root[dd - #1/kk - (z #1^6)/rr^6 &, 5], 
 Root[dd - #1/kk - (z #1^6)/rr^6 &, 6]} *)

One can give the parameters actual numeric values in order to get numeric solutions. For example:

solns /. {dd -> 3.3, kk -> 5.2, rr -> 1.07, z -> 2.8}

(* Out[74]= {-1.11127, 1.08777, -0.544166 - 0.962542 I, -0.544166 + 
  0.962542 I, 0.555916 - 0.942204 I, 0.555916 + 0.942204 I} *)
