Hi, you can't because Sqrt[[(x1^2-x2^2)^2] is Abs[x1^2-x2^2] Regards Jens "Mukhtar Bekkali" <mbekkali at gmail.com> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:d8697g$c9t$1 at smc.vnet.net... >I need to solve system of equations >f1[x1,x2]=0,f2[x1,x2]==0, however, > some elements of these equation have the form > Sqrt[(x1^2-x2^2)^2].
