Solution 11820: Algorithm Used for the cZeros() (Complex Zeros) Function on the TI-89 Family, TI-92 Family, and Voyage™ 200 Graphing Calculators.
What is the cZeros() (complex zeros) function algorithm used on the TI-89 family, TI-92 family, and Voyage 200 graphing calculators?
The syntax for the cZeros function on the TI-89 family, TI-92 family and Voyage 200 is given below:
cZeros(expr, var) → list
cZeros({expression1, expression2 [, … ] },{varOrGuess1, varOrGuess2 [, … ] }) → matrix
The cZeros( function returns a list of candidate real and non-real values of var that make expression = 0 by using the lexical Gröbner/Buchberger elimination method to attempt to determine all complex zeros.. The cZeros(expr, var) function does this by computing exp►list(cSolve(expression = 0, var, var). Please refer to the example provided below.
cZeros(x5+4x4+5x3-6x-3, x)
