CHAPTER 6 | PG 47
Simultaneous Equations 2 Equations–2 Unknowns TO 6 Equations–6 Unknowns
The calculator can solve simultaneous linear equations up to 6 unknowns, any other linear equation systems > 6
unknowns should be solved in the RUN-MAT icon from the MAIN MENU using matrices.
The calculator can solve systems of equations in the form:
ax + by = c
dx + ey = f
Solving Polynomial Equations
The calculator can solve quadratic and cubic
equations and other polynomials up to degree 6, any
other polynomials of degree > 6 should be solved in
the GRAPH icon from the MAIN MENU.
A quadratic equation: ax
2
+ bx + c = 0.
For solving 2 simultaneous equations - 6 simultaneous equations enter the appropriate number of unknowns via the
Function key and then enter the coefcients of each equation and solve.
