MATLAB: When using symbolic solver I seem to get the strange answer.

solvesymbolicsyms

eqn=A*Cd*sqrt((2*P)/r)==Q
eqn =
2^(1/2)*A*Cd*(P/r)^(1/2) == Q
>> solve(eqn,Cd)
ans =
(2^(1/2)*Q)/(2*A*(P/r)^(1/2))
…Not sure where the sort(2) on the top comes from? Thanks

Best Answer

2^(1/2) / 2 = 1 / 2^(1/2) ...
Best wishes
Torsten.
