I work in the radio industry and one equation we use does not want to
work, any suggestions on how to re-enter it would be appreciated

vswr= (1+sqrt(Pref/Pfwd))/(1-sqrt(Pref/Pfwd))

Pfwd = forward power
Pref = reflected power

Hello brook-nz,

Certain non-continuous equations (like the one you posted) caused
Formulaic up to and including V2.0.2 not to find a solution. This has
been addressed with V2.0.3, which was submitted to Apple on 30-
Jul-2009, and should be available as a free download shortly.

When searching for a solution, Formulaic attempts to find it in
certain standard intervals, and when none of those work, prompts for a
user-guess of which range the solution might be in. A combination of
factors caused this prompt not to appear with certain non-continuous
functions.

Thank you for providing your example. We tested it on V2.0.3, and
Formulaic was happy to solve for any of the three variables.

Kind regards,
Hoy Moon
