SOLVE Function
The SOLVE function lets you solve an expression using variables, without the need to simplify
the expression.
• When solving functions, be sure you are in COMP mode.
• If the expression does not include an equal sign (=), the solve function will set the
expression = 0.
• When entering “=” in your expression, be sure to use [ALPHA] [=].
Example:
Given height, time, and gravity, solve the equation for initial velocity: h = vt – ½ gt
2
.
Rewrite the equation using available variables: B = AC – ½ DC
2
.
C is the time it would take for an object thrown straight up with initial velocity A to reach
height B. Find the initial velocity A for a height of B = 14 meters and a time of C = 2
seconds. Gravitational acceleration D = 9.8 m/s
2
.
Enter the equation B = AC – ½ DC
2
. and press [SHIFT] [SOLVE].
You will be prompted for each value:
B? press [14] [=]
A? press the down arrow, as this is what you are solving for
C? press [2] [=]
D? press [9.8] [=]
Press the up arrow until you reach the unknown variable (in this case, A)
With A? displayed, press [SHIFT] [SOLVE].
