Polynomial Root Finder App
How do I load a list of coefficients to define a polynomial?
You can load a list of coefficients from the POLYNOMIAL - ORDER (1-10) screen.
Note: You must set up the list in the list editor before you can use the list in the Polynomial Root Finder application. You cannot access the list editor while the application is running.
The list must contain from 2 to 11 values. The length of the list must be appropriate for the order (degree) of the polynomial. For example, if you want to work with a polynomial of degree 5, the list must contain 6 elements. The maximum order (degree) is 10. This order (degree) requires 11 entries.
To load a list:
1. Press a È.
2. Enter the list name.
- You can enter a list name using one of the following methods:
- Type the list name at the prompt.
- Press a È to display the lists on your calculator, and then select the list name.
- If your list is named L1 – L6, press a plus the list name (for example, a Ö).
- To enter an alphabetical character, press b plus the letter.
- To turn the alpha lock on so that you can easily enter a list name that contains all alphabetical characters, press a Å.
- To clear the list name from the prompt, press q.
- To exit the name prompt, press q or Æ.
3. Press = to load the values from the coefficient list.
