Using the Action Menu
S
solve
Function: Returns the solution of an equation or inequality.
Syntax: solve(Exp/Eq/Ineq [,variable] [
)
]
• For this syntax, “Ineq” also includes the
p
operator.
• “
x
” is the default when you omit “[,variable]”.
solve(Exp/Eq,variable[, value, lower limit, upper limit] [
)
]
• This syntax does not support “Ineq”, but the
p
operator is supported.
• “value” is an initially estimated value.
• This command is valid only for equations and
p
expressions when “value”
and the items following it are included. In that case, this command returns
an approximate value.
• A true value is returned when you omit “value” and the items following it.
When, however, a true value cannot be obtained, an approximate value is
returned for equations only based on the assumption that value = 0, lower
limit = –
d
, and upper limit =
d
.
solve({Exp-1/Eq-1, ..., Exp-N/Eq-N}, {variable-1, ..., variable-N} [
)
]
• When “Exp” is the first argument, the equation Exp = 0 is presumed.

• To input simultaneous equations with three or more unknowns, press the key when
the cursor is in the Exp-N/Eq-N input field. Each press of will add one more line for
input of an equation.
