Making Assumptions About Functions
Use the keyword assume and one or more modifying expressions to make assumptions about the domain of a function in a symbolic expression. For example, you can restrict a function, so it is a real-valued function. All the modifiers that apply to variables also apply to functions.
 
The modifier ALL applies only to variables, not to kernels or undefined functions.
By default, all unknown functions in Mathcad are complex. Use the real modifier to indicate that a function is real.
Examples
To restrict the kernels of an unknown real function, use this expression:
Choose a solution depending on an unknown kernel:
