Mathematica Solve Error in Mathematica: Get Solution Here!

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a coding issue in Mathematica where the user encounters an error while trying to solve a specific equation involving parameters Nl, Nh, b, Rs, and a. The error indicates that the system cannot be solved using the available methods in Mathematica due to the presence of an undetermined parameter. It is suggested that if the value of r is known, a numerical solution could be feasible, as the equation is unlikely to have an analytic solution. Additionally, the user seeks guidance on plotting the relationship between x and r, with x constrained between 0 and 1 and r being a positive number. The response recommends using the Plot3D command in Mathematica for this purpose.

Here is my code
Code:
Nl = 10^(49) ;
Nh = 100 ;
b = 4*10^(-13) ;
Rs = N[((3 Nl)/(4 Pi b Nh^2))^(1/3)];
a = 6*10^(-18) ;

Solve[x/(4 Pi r^2)  E^(-Nh a x) a Nl == (1 - x)^2 b Nh, 
x]
When I run it, it shows the error:
"Solve::nsmet: This system cannot be solved with the methods available to Solve. >>"

How can I solve this equation? Thanks.

Since you have an undetermined parameter, Mathematica tries to find an analytic solution, which I don't think will work in this case. If you know the value of r, then a numerical solution is possible (assuming x is a real number).

Thanks for your reply. Do you know any way to plot this (x vs. r) in mathematica? x should be some value between 0 and 1, and r is a positive number.

The Plot3D command should be useful.
