Challenge
Investigate using the Solver feature on the TI-83 Plus to find the solution! Find this feature in
. It is best to use this feature if the system has only one solution.

have to input a guess for the X solution. bound = {M1å å å å 99, 1å å å å 99} represents the real number line for the calculator. You can make the set
smaller to find solutions in a particular interval. Then, use ƒ \ to find the calculator's numerical solution. See the TI-83 Plus
guidebook for more details about the Solver feature.
