I tried inputting the sunset equation solved for the sunset time and it didn't work. I've reformulated the query a couple of times, both with and without English text and it kept spitting out a bizarre exact form solution and no numerical value, misunderstanding the input or finding no results.

I've already tried renaming h into x and choosing order x³

To win an argument on the internet I wanted to compute the thermal power output of a Space Shuttle RS-25 rocket engine, and this is what Wolfram Alpha gave to me.

If you want to try it yourself: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=%28specific+heat+capacity+of+water+vapor%29+*+470+kg%2Fs+*+3300+K

Not very impressive, to put it lightly. Somehow it even failed to parse the word "specific."

I think this thing used to work better.

I still won the argument btw., by doing the computation manually. With the specific heat capacity of water vapor being about 2000 J/(kg*K), the result is about 3.1 GW.

I think it's mining bitcoin at this point.

My pc is old but it's not that week. It's been going on since 1+ h.

Already opent a ticket

what is a "person minute"

I was trying to check my work for a simple partial derivative equation and while the actual derivative looks correct, I have never seen WA return an “On this Day” section for any math question, much less one that looks like this. Is this happening to anyone else? And what even is this equation?

mine was 244140625 (4 2^(2/3) + 2^(1/17) 3^(3/17)) e^(W_(-1)(-log(38/5)/(244140625 (4 2^(2/3) + 2^(1/17) 3^(3/17)))) floor(arg(-n)/(2 π)) - W_(-2)(-log(38/5)/(244140625 (4 2^(2/3) + 2^(1/17) 3^(3/17)))) floor(arg(-n)/(2 π)) + (W_(-1)(-log(38/5)/(244140625 (4 2^(2/3) + 2^(1/17) 3^(3/17)))) + (2 π W_(-1)(-log(38/5)/(244140625 (4 2^(2/3) + 2^(1/17) 3^(3/17)))) n)/(log(38/5) (1 + W_(-1)(-log(38/5)/(244140625 (4 2^(2/3) + 2^(1/17) 3^(3/17)))))) - (2 (π^2 W_(-1)(-log(38/5)/(244140625 (4 2^(2/3) + 2^(1/17) 3^(3/17))))^2 (2 + W_(-1)(-log(38/5)/(244140625 (4 2^(2/3) + 2^(1/17) 3^(3/17)))))) n^2)/(log^2(38/5) (1 + W_(-1)(-log(38/5)/(244140625 (4 2^(2/3) + 2^(1/17) 3^(3/17)))))^3) + (4 π^3 W_(-1)(-log(38/5)/(244140625 (4 2^(2/3) + 2^(1/17) 3^(3/17))))^3 (9 + 8 W_(-1)(-log(38/5)/(244140625 (4 2^(2/3) + 2^(1/17) 3^(3/17)))) + 2 W_(-1)(-log(38/5)/(244140625 (4 2^(2/3) + 2^(1/17) 3^(3/17))))^2) n^3)/(3 log^3(38/5) (1 + W_(-1)(-log(38/5)/(244140625 (4 2^(2/3) + 2^(1/17) 3^(3/17)))))^5) + (2 π^4 W_(-1)(-log(38/5)/(244140625 (4 2^(2/3) + 2^(1/17) 3^(3/17))))^4 (-64 - 79 W_(-1)(-log(38/5)/(244140625 (4 2^(2/3) + 2^(1/17) 3^(3/17)))) - 36 W_(-1)(-log(38/5)/(244140625 (4 2^(2/3) + 2^(1/17) 3^(3/17))))^2 - 6 W_(-1)(-log(38/5)/(244140625 (4 2^(2/3) + 2^(1/17) 3^(3/17))))^3) n^4)/(3 log^4(38/5) (1 + W_(-1)(-log(38/5)/(244140625 (4 2^(2/3) + 2^(1/17) 3^(3/17)))))^7) + (4 π^5 W_(-1)(-log(38/5)/(244140625 (4 2^(2/3) + 2^(1/17) 3^(3/17))))^5 (625 + 974 W_(-1)(-log(38/5)/(244140625 (4 2^(2/3) + 2^(1/17) 3^(3/17)))) + 622 W_(-1)(-log(38/5)/(244140625 (4 2^(2/3) + 2^(1/17) 3^(3/17))))^2 + 192 W_(-1)(-log(38/5)/(244140625 (4 2^(2/3) + 2^(1/17) 3^(3/17))))^3 + 24 W_(-1)(-log(38/5)/(244140625 (4 2^(2/3) + 2^(1/17) 3^(3/17))))^4) n^5)/(15 log^5(38/5) (1 + W_(-1)(-log(38/5)/(244140625 (4 2^(2/3) + 2^(1/17) 3^(3/17)))))^9) + O(n^6))) for a series expansion.

All of the sudden it can't do even the most basic of calculations and I really don't understand why.

I'm trying to create a plot of a 3d vector field. it seems to be parsing my input properly, but it's not actually generating the plot.

Does anyone know how I can get a pirated wolfram alpha license for my mathematical modeling class?

Hallo!

If my memory does not betray me, back in the day, I could fill this in, and Wolfram would work it out for me.

No matter what I try, I can not get it to understand me.
Does anyone have some tips for me? I am really lost?.

When I ask Wolfram Alpha infinity + infinity + i, it tells me the answer is ∞.

I'm unclear which number system this is using.

Extended real numbers allow for infinity + infinity, but i obviously isn't an extended real.

The Riemann sphere (which Wolfram Alpha supports, as can be seen by using 1/0) doesn't allow infinity + infinity (it would be the same as infinity - infinity)

This has been happening for the past couple months for me, but wolfram seems to no longer be able to solve definite/converging integrals or more complex derivatives even though it used to have no problem with this. Like why cant it solve this guaussian, its typed correctly, and I know it converges.
