cSolve()
starts with exact symbolic methods.
Except in
EXACT
mode,
cSolve()
also uses
iterative approximate complex polynomial
factoring, if necessary.
Note: See also
cZeros()
,
solve()
, and
zeros()
.
Note: If
equation
is non-polynomial with
functions such as
abs()
,
angle()
,
conj()
,
real()
,
or
imag()
, you should place an underscore _
(
TI-89:
¥
TI-92 Plus:
2
) at the end
of
var
. By default, a variable is treated as a
real value.

If you use
var
_
, the variable is treated as
complex.
You should also use
var
_ for any other
variables in
equation
that might have unreal
values. Otherwise, you may receive
unexpected results.
z is treated as real:
cSolve(conj(z)=1+

})
⇒
Boolean expression
Returns candidate complex solutions to the
simultaneous algebraic equations, where
each
varOrGuess
specifies a variable that you
want to solve for.
Optionally, you can specify an initial guess
for a variable. Each
varOrGuess
must have the
form:
variable
– or –
variable
=
real
or
non
-
real
number
For example,
x
is valid and so is
x=3+
i.
If all of the equations are polynomials and if
you do NOT specify any initial guesses,
cSolve()
uses the lexical Gröbner/Buchberger
elimination method to attempt to determine
all complex solutions.
Note: The following examples use an
underscore _ (
TI-89:
¥
TI-92 Plus:
2
) so that the variables
will be treated as complex.
Complex solutions can include both real and
non-real solutions, as in the example to the
right.
