simplifying an algebraic expression in two variables
显示 更早的评论
hello
I know that
sqrt ((x-1)^2 + (y-2)^2) + sqrt ((x+1)^2 + (y+2)^2) = 6
and
8*(x^2) - 4*x*y + 5*(y^2) = 36
are equivalent, but is there a way of having matlab deduce the second statement from the first?
regards, Danny.

The following code may solve your problem:
clc;
clear ;
close all;
syms x y;
eqn = sqrt ((x-1)^2 + (y-2)^2) + sqrt ((x+1)^2 + (y+2)^2) == 6;
eqn1 = simplify(eqn^2);
eqn2 = expand(eqn1);
eqn3 = simplify(eqn2);
%As of now, MATLAB is not able to simplify expressions inside squre root by
%itself, so one needs to isolate it and then square both side
eqn4 = (x^2 - 2*x + y^2 - 4*y + 5)^(1/2)*(x^2 + 2*x + y^2 + 4*y + 5)^(1/2);
%isolating the square root term from rest of the equation
eqn5 = isolate(eqn3,eqn4);
%simplifying the equation
eqn6 = simplify(expand(eqn5^2));
%One can also solve the equation by executing the following line
sol = solve(eqn6,'ReturnConditions',true);
