Current value of X
Input an initial value for X (Here, input 1): 1
To exit SOLVE:
Solution screen
Note: During the time from when you press <(SOLVE) until you exit SOLVE by pressing , you should use Linear Display input procedures for input.
Important: • Depending on what you input for the initial value for X (solution variable), SOLVE may not be able to obtain solutions. If this happens, try changing the initial value so they are closer to the solution. • SOLVE may not be able to determine the correct solution, even when one exists. • SOLVE uses Newton’s Law, so even if there are multiple solutions, only one of them will be returned. • Due to limitations in Newton’s Law, solutions tend to be difficult to obtain for equations like the following: y = sin(x), y = ex, y = 'x .

(Left Side) – (Right Side) result
“(Left Side) – (Right Side) result” shows the result when the right side of the equation is subtracted from the left side, after assigning the obtained value to the variable being solved for. The closer this result is to zero, the higher the accuracy of the solution.
Continue Screen
SOLVE performs convergence a preset number of times. If it cannot find a solution, it displays a confirmation screen that shows “Continue: [=]”, asking if you want to continue.
Press to continue or to cancel the SOLVE operation.
