Maple: Find intersection of two functions

I have a Maple worksheet like this:

enter image description here

And have been unable to figure out how to find the intersection of the two, as fsolve returns an error?

Solution

  • Note that f is a function and g is an equation. And you want to solve f(x)=y, not f(x)=0. So your fsolve command should be

    fsolve({f(x)=y, g}, {x,y}, x= -2..-1);

    By changing the x-range, you can get all three intersection points this way. There is no need to give a y-range.
