Using SOLVE
(COMP)
SOLVE uses Newton’s Method of approximation to solve an equation.
You can use SOLVE in the COMP Mode (N1) only.
k Rules Governing Equations when Using
SOLVE
• You can use the following types of syntax for the solution variable.
Example: Y = X + 5, Y (Solves for Y.);
XB = C + D, B (Solves for B.)
The following shows the syntax for the log function.
Y = X
× log(2
(When the variable specification “,X” is omitted,
the equation Y = X
× log
10
2 is solved for X.)
Y = X
× log(2,Y (When the variable specification “,Y” is included,
the equation Y = X
× log
10
2 is solved for Y.)
Y = X
× log(2,Y) (When the variable specification “,X” is omitted,
the equation Y = X
× log
2
Y is solved for X.)
• Unless you specify otherwise, an equation is solved for X.
Example: Y = X + 5, X = sin(M), X + 3 = B + C,
XY + C (Treated as XY + C = 0.)
• SOLVE cannot be used to solve an equation that contains an
integral, derivative,
Σ
( function, Pol( function, Rec( function, or
multi-statement.
