A very simple question on imposing conditions/constraints. I know that a, r, and h must be real and non-negative in the following system of equations: eq1=Pi*r^2+2*Pi*r*x==0; eq2=2*Pi*r*h+(2*Pi*h+4*Pi*r)*x==0; eq3=2*Pi*r^2+2*Pi*r*h-a==0; sols=Solve[{eq1,eq2,eq3},{r,h,x}] How can I impose conditions on this system such that only real solutions are obtained, and r and h are non-negative? Thank you, --V
