I am solving two nonlinear equations, and I get a list of several solutions, each of which are huge equations, which should be functions of my parameters. Anyway, I am not sure how to describe the problem but the output of Solve involves the following: #1, #1^2, .....,#1^6, along with everything else, and at the end there is an & symbol--something like "&, 2]" at the end of the second solution, "&, 6]" at the end of the 6th solution etc. What might be the reason why the output looks like this, and is there a way to convert this to a "normal" equation (without the #1's etc.)? >> >>Any help would be appreciated, thanks a lot in advance. >> >> >> > > I suspect you have a functional output in terms of Root.

First[Root[f,index]][x] evaluates to f[x] which brings you back to "the root of your problem" ;-), which is f[x]==0. It does _not_ in any way 'normalize' the roots. -- Peter Pein Berlin
