sandbox-maxima-worked-example-1

Here is some text which opens the discussion. I’ll find out stuff later. Third line in 1st part. More text here. I wonder if it makes a separate paragraph. 2nd line in 2nd part. First formula. Something about random blurfage. 2nd line in 3rd part.

eqn : x^2 + 17*x + 29 = 0;

$$x^2+17x+29=0$$

solve (eqn, x);

$$\left[x=-\frac{\sqrt{173}+17}{2},x=\frac{\sqrt{173}-17}{2}\right]$$

subst (first (%), eqn);

$$\frac{{\left(\sqrt{173}+17\right)}^2}{4}-\frac{17\left(\sqrt{173}+17\right)}{2}+29=0$$

expand (%);

$$0=0$$

More text here. I wonder if percent sign stuff works.

abc : '(def + xyz);

$$\mathrm{𝑥𝑦𝑧}+\mathrm{𝑑𝑒𝑓}$$

$$xyz+def$$

$$xyz+def$$

bcd : '(sin(x)+sin(x))$

Dollar sign terminator on previous line. Hmm.

ev (bcd);

$$2\sin x$$

Now bcd is simplified.

print(bcd);

$$2\sin x$$

bcd was simplified by printing too. All finished. No, really!
