VerifySolutions

VerifySolutions

is an option to Solve and related functions that controls whether to verify solutions.

Details

  • VerifySolutions controls whether the solutions obtained using non-equivalent transformations or numerical methods should be verified.
  • Possible settings include:
  • Automaticautomatically determine whether to verify
    Trueattempt to verify
    Falsedo not verify

Examples

Basic Examples  (2)

Solve an equation:

Use VerifySolutions to check if they are solutions or not:

Solve verifies solutions obtained using non-equivalent transformations:

With VerifySolutionsFalse, Solve does not verify the solutions:

Some of the solutions returned with VerifySolutionsFalse are not correct:

This uses a fast numeric test in an attempt to select correct solutions:

In this case, numeric verification gives the correct solution set:
