If you remove the radicals (`sympy.solvers.solvers.unrad(eq1)`) and replace `Q1` and `Q2` with `x` and `y` and `Q_dp_1` with a and `s1` with `b` you will get an expression that is of degree 4 in every variable and can be split into a term with `a` and `b` and a term with only `b` -- both with `x` and `y`.
u1 = a*(a**3 - 4*a**2*y*(2 - b) - 2*a*y**2*(-3*b**2 + 8*b - 8) - 4*b**3*x**3 + 2*b**2*(-x**2*(-3*a + 2*y*(b - 2)) + 2*y**3*(b - 2)) - 4*b*x*(a**2 + a*y*(b - 2) + y**2*(-b**2 - 8*b + 8))) + \ b**2*(b*(x**2 + y**2) + 2*x*y*(b - 2))**2 Replace a,b with c,d (for `q_dp_2` and `s2`) to get `u2`. I can't imagine that solving a pair of quartics is going to give a nice solution. But solving this system with known values for `a` and `b` would be straightforward with `nsolve`. /c On Thursday, August 4, 2022 at 11:54:24 PM UTC-5 klp...@gmail.com wrote: > And eq1=Q_1*s_1 - Q_2*s_1 + 2*Q_2 - Q_dp_1 - 2*sqrt(Q_2*(Q_1*s_1 - Q_2*s_1 > + Q_2 + 2*sqrt(Q_1*Q_2*s_1*(1 - s_1)))) + 2*sqrt(Q_1*Q_2*s_1*(1 - s_1)) ... > sorry, long day! > > On Thursday, August 4, 2022 at 9:39:53 PM UTC-7 Kevin Pauba wrote: > >> Sorry, Jeremy.
