186 Section 13: Finding the Roots of an Equation
Fahr's ridget falls to the ground
9.2843 seconds after he hurls it—a
remarkable toss.
When No Root Is Found
You have seen how the
_
key estimates and displays a root of an
equation of the form
f(x)
= 0. However, it
is
possible that an equation has no
real roots (that is, there is no real value of
x
for which the equality is true).
Of course, you would not expect the calculator to find a root in this case.
Instead, it displays
Error 8
.
Example:
Consider the equation
|
x
| = – 1.
which has no solution since the absolute
value function is never negative. Express
this equation in the required form
|
x
| + 1 = 0
and attempt to use
_
to find a
solution.
