Trying to solve an equation but get weird solution with new variable

[dscot]

Hi,

I'm trying to solve this equation inside of Maple:
http://screencast.com/t/EeqzLhxS for gamma(s)

I assign variables to each of the values like this:http://screencast.com/t/DBLS8BH6R

When I try to solve I get this weird answer with a new _z variable: http://screencast.com/t/qVHp7xVRFUq

Can anyone see what I've done wrong, I'm really going crazy with this one :)

Cheers!

The first screen capture with the formula contains no gammas that I can see. I see a couple of sigmas.

Sorry SteamKing, you are correct. I think I've mixed both the symbols up during my which I'll be sure to fix :)

My problem still holds true, would you have any thoughts on that?

Thanks =)

Sorry guys, still not had any luck with this.

I've also tried wolframAlpha with this: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=solve+a=+((b^0.5+/+c^0.5)+*+exp(-d*(c-b)^2))+for+b

( I just separated the terms in order, into a,b,c,d)

But get this error: Standard computation time exceeded..

I got a similar error even with the 14 day pro trial.

I'm not sure what else to try all I'm trying to do is to generate an equation to work out sigma(s)?

Thanks guys!

Hello,

It seems like you may have made a mistake in assigning your variables. The new _z variable is likely a result of a typo or incorrect substitution. I would suggest double checking your work and making sure all variables are properly assigned before attempting to solve the equation again. If you are still having trouble, it may be helpful to consult a colleague or seek assistance from a tutor or mentor. Remember, solving equations can be tricky and mistakes can happen, but with careful attention to detail, you will be able to find the correct solution. Good luck!
