Hi,
I have a mathematica question. It is bugging me allot. I am just doing some simple algebra in Mathematica:
In[1]:= q[r_] := qo*(1 - r/a)
In[2]:= wH[r_] := c1*r^2*Log[r] + c2*Log[r] + c3*r^2 + c4;
In[3]:= wP[r_] := (q[r]*r^4)/(64*K);
In[4]:= w[r_] := wP[r] + wH[r]
In[5]:= w[r]
Out[5]= c4 + c3 r^2 + (qo r^4 (1 - r/a))/(64 K) + c2 Log[r] +
c1 r^2 Log[r]
In[6]:= c1 = 0;
In[7]:= c2 = 0;
In[8]:= w[r]
Out[8]= c4 + c3 r^2 + (qo r^4 (1 - r/a))/(64 K)
In[9]:= A[r_] := D[w[r], {r, 1}]
In[10]:= A[r]
(This is correct, it too the differential of w[r] correct!)
Out[10]= 2 c3 r - (qo r^4)/(64 a K) + (qo r^3 (1 - r/a))/(16 K)
But when I plug in for r=a, it doesn't give me the right answer!
In[15]:= A[a]
Out[15]= 2 a c3
A[r=a] should not equal 2*a*c3? What is Mathematica doing
A[r=a] should equal = 2*a*c3-(qo*a^3)/(64*K)!!!!
Please help. I'm in desperate need. A big Hug for all those help me!
Thanks.
