LDEC

Linear differential equations having constant
coefficients

LDEC enables you to directly solve linear differential
equations having constant coefficients.

The parameters are the second member and the
characteristic equation.

Solve:

y” − 6 · y’ + 9 · y = x · e

3·x

Typing:

LDEC(X·EXP(3·X),X

2

−6·X+9)

gives:

cC0 and cC1 are integration constants (y(0) = cC0 and
y’(0) = cC1).

LINSOLVE

Solve linear system

LINSOLVE enables you to solve a system of linear
equations.

It is assumed that the various equations are of the form
expression = 0.

LINSOLVE has two arguments: the first members of the
various equations separated by AND, and the names of
the various variables separated by AND.

Example 1

Typing:

LINSOLVE(X+Y+3 AND X-Y+1, X AND Y)

gives:

(x = −2) AND (y = −1)

or, in Step-by-step mode (CFG, etc.):

L2=L2−L1
