− 1
.
Note:
The top screen shows all the examples;
the bottom screen shows how to enter for
partial fractions.
Zeros
To find the zeros of an expression in the menu,
use Interactive—Equation/inequality—solve and
ensure you set the variable. The calculator assumes
you are solving an equation for which one side is zero.
Forexample:
Zeros of x
2
− 1 for x.
Zeros of x
2
− y
2
for y.
Zeros of x
2
− y
2
for x.
Zeros of x
2
− y for y.
Zeros of x
2
− 4x + 8 for x.Nosolutions.
Zeros of x
2
− 4x + 1 for x.Two solutions.
Zeros of x
2
− 4x + 4 for x. One solution.
