Example SOLVE Operation

Page 32 highlights

• An error (Variable ERROR) occurs when the solution variable is not included in the expression being solved. k Example SOLVE Operation Example: To solve y = ax2 + b for x when y = 0, a = 1, and b = -2. MATH Math Sf(Y)Ss(=)Sy(A) S)(X)w+Se(B) 1)(,)S)(X) Math 1s(SOLVE) Prompts for input of a value for Y. Current value of Y Math 0= Math 1= Math y2= Current value of X Math = Solution Screen • To interrupt an ongoing SOLVE operation, press A. Precautions when Using SOLVE • SOLVE may not be able to obtain a solution because of the initial value (assumed value) of the solution variable. If this happens, try changing the initial value of the solution variable. • SOLVE may not be able to determine the correct solution, even when one exists. E-30
