Algebra System Precautions

7-4 Algebra System Precautions

• If an algebraic operation cannot be performed for some reason, the original expression

remains on the display.

• It may take considerable time to perform an algebraic operation. Failure of a result to

appear immediately does not indicate malfunction of the computer.

• Any expression can be displayed in various different formats. Because of this, you

should not assume that an expression is wrong just because it does not appear as you
expected.

• This calculator performs integration calculations under the assumption that integrals are

always positive, even when the integrals are discontinuous (due to a switch between
positive and negative).
