Nov 10, 2012 at 11:53 comment added xzczd Oh, I forgot to mention that a higher WorkingPrecision (for example 20) in FindRoot is still needed, and the option MaxIterations isn't necessary.
Nov 10, 2012 at 11:13 comment added Amatya @xzczd I used Rationalize[..,0] in my second example and the solution I am getting is incorrect and is giving me absurd answers when I use it to compute other variables. It also contradicts what I see in ContourPlot.

Nov 10, 2012 at 10:44 comment added Amatya @xzczd Thanks. I'll follow up on Rationalize[..,0]. Also, sorry about the example, I will correct it. I must've made a mistake after pasting it while I was pressing back space and delete to get the pasted stuff four spaces away from the margin.
Nov 10, 2012 at 5:08 comment added xzczd If you had read the link and all the comments below carefully, you should have noticed that what you need isn't Rationalize[…, 10^-16] but Rationalize[…, 0] for your 2nd sample; SetPrecision[…, Infinity] will also work. BTW I really suggest you to clean up your sample a little (your 2nd sample is not even available for direct running! ) so it can attract more attention.
