HP 33s 7–11, Solving Equations 7

For More Information

This chapter gives you instructions for solving for unknowns or roots over a wide range of applications. Appendix D contains more detailed information about how the algorithm for SOLVE works, how to interpret results, what happens when no solution is found, and conditions that can cause incorrect results.
