- Forgive me if this is a simple question, but a friend of mine has a TI-68
- which can solve 3rd and 4th order equations, and I can't get my 48SX to
- give me more than one solution to the equation, and that root is always real.
-
- Is there an easy way to do this, or even a difficult way to do this?
-
- It's kind of embarassing to be outdone by a $35 calculator.
-
- Thanks,
-
