Example of flag setting: general solutions vs. principal value
For example, the default value for system flag 01 is
General solutions
. What
this means is that, if an equation has multiple solutions, all the solutions will be
returned by the calculator, most likely in a list. By pressing the soft
menu key you can change system flag 01 to
Principal value
. This setting will
force the calculator to provide a single value known as the principal value of
the solution.
To see this at work, first set system flag 01 (i.e., select
Principal Value
). Press

twice to return to normal calculator display. We will try solving a
quadratic equation solution, say, t

+5t+6 = 0, with command QUAD.
Algebraic mode
Use the following keystroke sequence:
‚N~q
(use the up and down
arrow keys,

, to select command QUAD) , press

.
To enter the equation as the first argument of function QUAD, use the
following keystrokes:

The result is:
Now, change the setting of flag 1 to
