(→‎Wolfram Mathworld and Perl: Solutions plural means one solution in two parts.)
Line 15:
 
:::I took the two solutions as meaning that there were two ways of expressing the same thing rather than being parts of a whole as they use the word solution'''s''' plural. I've just checked and the other does give (9.958246164193104, 9.991663191547909), so all seems well. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 07:47, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
:::: Er I'll pretend this is an American/British English thing, but does it mean "x^2 = 1 has two solutions: x = 1, x = -1" is counterintuitive? Also if you are familiar with Mathematica, you would have seen the composite solutions all the time:<lang>In[1]:= Solve[x x == 1, {x}]
Out[1]= {{x -> -1}, {x -> 1}}</lang> It's not supposed to repeat the same solution in a equivalent but different form. --[[User:Ledrug|Ledrug]] 07:59, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
