Chapter 12: The SOLVER Feature

1.Enter SOLVER by pressing @'. The word SOLVER will flash on the screen, indicating that you are now in the SOLVER feature mode.

2.Enter the equation “A = 2B2

+4C”.

Press AA A= 2 AB y+4

AC.

3.Press E.

The screen above right appears, indicating that there are 3 variables to be assigned.

Note: If values were assigned to those variables prior to this operation, then the previously set values will be shown here. For example, “C = 57” may show up in this

window; this simply indicates the value of “C” was previously set to “57”.

4.Enter “4” for variable “A”, and “5” for variable “B”.

Press 4 E5 E.

5.When the two known values have been specified, make sure that the cursor is at the value yet to be determined (in this case, the value of “C”).

6.Press @hto execute the SOLVER. The value of “C” will be obtained.

*After the solution has been found, press Cto return

to the variable input screen. You may change the numeric values for the variables and select another unknown variable to solve.

*To edit the equation, press Con the variable input screen. The equation input screen allows you to correct or edit the previously input equation.
