Calculate parameters of a parabola with SageMath [closed]
I would like to use SageMath to solve some equations of combined/composite curves. However, I did not find a way to solve even a simple parabola so far. Here is the most simplified code I can think of:
x, a = var('x a')
y(x) = a * x^2
solve([y, y(0)==0, y(1)==0.5], a)
Can be executed here: https://sagecell.sagemath.org/
Can someone say what is wrong and why I am not getting any result?
Solution 1:
Delete the first y in the list:
sage: var('x a')
(x, a)
sage: y(x) = a*x^2
sage: solve([y(1) == 0.5, y(0) == 0], a)
[[a == (1/2)]]
