Symbolic equation solving: Inverse functions are being used by Solve

Mathematica Asked by Nickpick on December 16, 2020

I’m quite new to mathematica, so apologies if the question it soo trivial.

I’m trying to symbolically solve an equation for R, and would like at the same time to mix in a second equation. What I’ve done is the following:

Remove["Global`*"];
L == M^2/R^4;
Solve[L == M^5.5 R^-5.5, R]

The result is:

Solve::ifun: Inverse functions are being used by Solve, so some solutions may not be found; use Reduce for complete solution information.
{{R -> 1./(L/M^5.5)^0.1818181818181818}}

Two questions:

  1. What is mean with this warning / error message?
  2. Is there a way to get the result as a fraction in the exponent?
  3. Is there any more elegant way to get to the result, so I don’t always have to use Remove Global?
  4. Am I correct to use double equal == in this context?

To clarify, I’d like to express L(M), by expressing R in terms of M. How can this be achieved? It’s essentially by putting the first equation into the second and solving it for L. –
Any suggestions are appreciated.
