  • Page 2 HP 33S which variable is being considered as the current function, and then solving for the value of that variable when the function is equal to zero. The HP 33S knows which variable to solve for by setting the value of the function under consideration using the ºs function.
  • Page 3 Store an initial guess for X of 10 into the variable X. Then set the function to X and solve for the value of X. Note that the SOLVE function is located on the cursor key area at the top of the HP 33S calculator. If you are unsure of its location, see the image at the end of this training aid.
  • Page 4 To show the checksum and length of this program, press the following in RPN or algebraic mode. Note that the symbol Õ means to press the right arrow direction of the cursor key at the top of the HP 33S. If you are unsure of its location, see the image at the end of this training aid.
