Quadratic Explorer functions

SOLVE

Solve quadratic. Given the coefficients of a quadratic
equation ax

2

+bx+c=0, returns the real solutions.

SOLVE(a, b, c)

Example:

SOLVE(1,0,-4)

returns

{-2, 2}

DELTA

Discriminant. Given the coefficients of a quadratic equation
ax

2

+bx+c=0, returns the value of the discriminant in the

Quadratic Formula.

DELTA(a, b, c)

Example:

DELTA(1,0,-4)

returns

16

Common app functions

In addition to the app functions specific to each app, there are
three functions common to the following apps. These use as
an argument an integer from 0 to 9, which corresponds to one
of the Symbolic view variables for that app.

Function (F0–F9)

Solve (E0–E9)

Statistics 1Var (H1–H5)

Statistics 2Var (S1–S5)

Parametric (X0/Y0–X9/Y9)

Polar (R0–R9)

Sequence (U0–U9)

Advanced Graphing (V0–V9)

CHECK

Check. Checks—that is, selects—the Symbolic view variable
corresponding to Digit. Used primarily in programming to

activate Symbolic view definitions in apps.

CHECK(Digit)
