The following examples show the use of function SOLVE in ALG and RPN modes. [Note: not all lines will be visible when done with the exercises in the following figures.]

The screen shot shown above displays two solutions. In the first one, β4-5β=125, SOLVE produces no solutions { }. In the second one, β4 - 5β = 6, SOLVE produces four solutions, shown in the last output line. The very last solution is not visible because the result occupies more characters than the width of the calculator’s screen. However, you can still see all the solutions by using the down arrow key (˜), which triggers the line editor (this operation can be used to access any output line that is wider than the calculator’s screen):

The corresponding RPN screens for these two examples, before and after the application of function SOLVE, are shown next:
