Hi, I am trying to find a simple way to numerically solve a system of two equations equal to zero with two unknowns (x_loc and y_loc). Here is a mock data set and below it, the equations I need to solve.
theta<-c(180,135,90)/(2*pi) x<-c(0,0,15) y<-c(20,0,0) 0 = -sum((y_loc-y)*(sin(theta)*(x_loc-x)-cos(theta)*(y_loc-y))/(((x_loc-x)^2+(y_loc-y)^2)^0.5)^3) 0 = -sum((x_loc-x)*(sin(theta)*(x_loc-x)-cos(theta)*(y_loc-y))/(((x_loc-x)^2+(y_loc-y)^2)^0.5)^3) Thanks in advance. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Solving-a-system-of-two-equations-tp4642626.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
