Solving and Integrating Programs

Solving a Program

In chapter 7 you saw how you can enter an equation — it's added to the equation

list — and then solve it for any variable. You can also, enter a program that

calculates a function, and then solve it for any variable. This is especially useful if

the equation you're solving changes for certain conditions or if it requires repeated

calculations.

To solve a programmed function:

1. Enter a program that defines the function. (See "To write a program for SOLVE"

below.)

2. Select the program to solve: press

label. (You can skip this step if

you're re–solving the same program.)

3. Solve for the unknown variable: press

variable.

Notice that FN= is required if you're solving a programmed function, but not if

you're solving an equation from the equation list.

To halt a calculation, press

. The current best estimate of the root is in

the unknown variable; use

to view it without disturbing the stack. To

resume the calculation, press

To write a program for SOLVE:

The program can use equations, ALG, RPN operations — in whatever combination

is most convenient.

1. Begin the program with a label. This label identifies the function that you want

SOLVE to evaluate (



label).
