Equations cannot be solved by Wolfram Alpha

Posted 11 months ago

Hello,

I tried this post solve cos(x)*cos(y)+2*x=0,-sin(x)*sin(y)+2*y=0 for x y in Wolfram Alpha in different variations (brackets used / not used, hand over arguments / variables or not) but all of them resulted in this:
enter image description here
Here's another run with the same functions.

What's the reason for that? How can I solve it?

This is not a Matlab site, but the Matlab package Chebfun can probably solve your system.

With a free account, can you access

I don't know about Wolfram Alpha, but Mathematica gives nontrivial complex solutions too, provided we give bounds on the variables:

solY = Solve[Sin[y] + 2 y == 0 &&
    Abs[y] < 6][[2]]
Solve[Abs[x] < 2 &&
   -Sin[x]*Cos[x]*Cos[y] + 2*x == 0 /. solY, x]

Solve sin(y)+2*y=0 for y

yields y=0

Solve -sin(x)*cos(x)*cos(y)+2*x=0,y=0 for x

yields x=0
