Using SOLVE

 

(COMP)

 

 

 

 

SOLVE uses Newton’s Method of approximation to solve an equation.

You can use SOLVE in the COMP Mode (N1) only.

k Rules Governing Equations when Using

SOLVE

You can use the following types of syntax for the solution variable. Example: Y = X + 5, Y (Solves for Y.);

XB = C + D, B (Solves for B.)

The following shows the syntax for the log function.

Y = X log(2

(When the variable specification “,X” is omitted,

Y = X log(2,Y

the equation Y = X log102 is solved for X.)

(When the variable specification “,Y” is included,

Y = X log(2,Y)

the equation Y = X log102 is solved for Y.)

(When the variable specification “,X” is omitted,

 

the equation Y = X log2Y is solved for X.)

Unless you specify otherwise, an equation is solved for X. Example: Y = X + 5, X = sin(M), X + 3 = B + C,

XY + C (Treated as XY + C = 0.)

SOLVE cannot be used to solve an equation that contains an integral, derivative, Σ( function, Pol( function, Rec( function, or

multi-statement.
