Hello, I have two quadratic equations in two unknowns l1 , l2. I try to solve it using Solve (i could do it by hand but it's quite messy and wanted to Mathematica to take the trouble). Solve[{32 k l2 r^2 - 16 l2^2 r^2 + l1^2 (ax^2 + ay^2 - 2 ax p0x + p0x^2 - 2 ay p0y + p0y^2 - 16 r^2) + k^2 (nxb^2 + nyb^2 - 2 nxb p0x + p0x^2 - 2 nyb p0y + p0y^2 - 16 r^2) + l1 (-32 l2 r^2 + 2 k (ax (nxb - p0x) - nxb p0x + p0x^2 + ay (nyb - p0y) - nyb p0y + p0y^2 - 16 r^2)) == 0, -d^2 l1^2 + l1 (-2 d^2 k - 2 d^2 l2) + k^2 (ax^2 + ay^2 - d^2 - 2 ax nxb + nxb^2 - 2 ay nyb + nyb^2) + l2^2 (ax^2 + ay^2 - d^2 - 2 ax p0x + p0x^2 - 2 ay p0y + p0y^2) + 2 k l2 (ax^2 + ay^2 - d^2 + nxb p0x - ax (nxb + p0x) + nyb p0y - ay (nyb + p0y)) == 0}, {l1, l2}] However, the calculation does not stop and seems to run for ever. Could some one please suggest any modifications i need to do? Thanks and regards Saptarshi
