Solving for a Variable in the Equation Solver

To solve for a variable using the equation solver after an equation has been stored to

eqn

, follow these steps.

1.

Select

0:Solver

from the

MATH

menu to display the interactive solver editor, if not

already displayed.

2.

Enter or edit the value of each known variable. All variables, except the unknown
variable, must contain a value. To move the cursor to the next variable, press

Í

or

†.

3.

Enter an initial guess for the variable for which you are solving. This is optional, but it
may help find the solution more quickly. Also, for equations with multiple roots, the
TI-84 Plus will attempt to display the solution that is closest to your guess.
