Case 2b:
LEFT
-
RIGHT have opposite
signs. The two estimates are
far apart.
This indicates
that the
solver is
unable to begin
its search
for
a
nu-
merical
solution
using the current
initial estimates
(guesses).
There
may be a solution you can find
by
entering
different
estimates. The
closer you
can
estimate
the
answer, the
more likely
it is
that the
solver will
find a solution.
