Using the Action Menu

S solve

Function: Returns the solution of an equation or inequality.

Syntax: solve(Exp/Eq/Ineq [,variable] [ ) ]

• For this syntax, “Ineq” also includes the

p operator.

• “

x

” is the default when you omit “[,variable]”.

solve(Exp/Eq,variable[, value, lower limit, upper limit] [ ) ]

• This syntax does not support “Ineq”, but the

p operator is supported.

• “value” is an initially estimated value.

• This command is valid only for equations and

p expressions when “value”

and the items following it are included. In that case, this command returns
an approximate value.

• A true value is returned when you omit “value” and the items following it.

When, however, a true value cannot be obtained, an approximate value is
returned for equations only based on the assumption that value = 0, lower
limit = –

d, and upper limit = d.

solve({Exp-1/Eq-1, ..., Exp-N/Eq-N}, {variable-1, ..., variable-N} [ ) ]

• When “Exp” is the first argument, the equation Exp = 0 is presumed.

You also could input the simultaneous equations shown in this example using the 2D

keyboard

key. The following shows the required input syntax.

Exp-1/Eq-1

Exp-N/Eq-N variable-1, ..., variable-N

• To input simultaneous equations with three or more unknowns, press the

key when

the cursor is in the Exp-N/Eq-N input field. Each press of

will add one more line for

input of an equation.
