This equation
is
valid
for 1
^
t < 32,
representing March, 1978.
First
convert
5°18'S
to
decimal degrees (press
5.18
[CHS][g][*H]),
obtaining
—5.3000
(using
|FIX|
4
display
mode).
(Southern latitudes
are
expressed
as
negative numbers
for
calculation purposes.)
The
solution
to
Coulerre's problems
is the
value
of t
satisfying
—5.3000
=
a4t
+
a%t
+
a2t
+
a^
+
a0.
Expressed
in the
form
required
by
[SOLVE
|, the
equation
is
0
=
a4t4
+
a3t3
+
a2t2
+
a^t
-
2.8806
where
the
last, constant term
now
incorporates
the
value
of the
declination.
Using
Homer's
method,
the
function
to be set
equal
to
zero
is
f(t)
=
(((a4t
+
a3)t
+
a2)t
+
ajt
-

.
To
shorten
the
subroutine, store
and
recall
the
constants using
the
registers corresponding
to the
exponent
oft.
