on the TI-89
In AP Calculus, we aren't often called upon to solve systems of equations, which means that
when it happens we are usually "rusty" on using Kramer's Rule, Gaussian Elimination, and
other techniques. On the TI-89, you can use the solve() command (among other methods) to
solve systems of linear equations - when you need it, it can be a real timesaver!
solve(equation, variable)
To use solve() to solve a system of linear equations, you separate each equation with "and",
and enclose a comma-separated list of variables by curly brackets "{}".
solve(equation 1 and equation 2 and equation 3 ... , {variable 1, variable2, variable3, ...})
x + 2y = 3
2x - y = 1
Type:
"{" is .
a+b+c+d=0
-8a + 4b - 2c + d = 3
12a - 4b + c = 0
3a + 2b + c = 0
