Press J to see the newly created EQ variable:
Then, enter the SOLVE environment and select Solve equation..., by using:
‚Ï@@OK@@. The corresponding screen will be shown as:
The equation we stored in variable EQ is already loaded in the Eq field in the
SOLVE EQUATION input form. Also, a field labeled x is provided. To solve
the equation all you need to do is highlight the field in front of X: by using
˜, and press @SOLVE@. The solution shown is X: 4.5006E-2:
This, however, is not the only possible solution for this equation. To obtain a
negative solution, for example, enter a negative number in the X: field before
solving the equation. Try 3\@@@OK@@˜@SOLVE@. The solution is now X: -
3.045.
Solution procedure for Equation Solve...
The numerical solver for single-unknown equations works as follows:
• It lets the user type in or @CHOOS an equation to solve.
•
It creates an input form with input fields corresponding to all variables
involved in equation stored in variable EQ.
•
The user needs to enter values for all variables involved, except one.
