#In the function f(x), only X can be used as a
variable in expressions. Other variables (A
through Z excluding X, r,
θ ) are treated as
constants, and the value currently assigned to
that variable is applied during the calculation.
# Input of the tolerance (tol) value and the
closing parenthesis can be omitted. If you omit
tolerance (tol) value, the calculator automati-
cally uses a value for tol as 1
E-10.
# Specify tolerance (tol) value of 1
E-14 or less.
An error (Time Out) occurs whenever no
solution that satisfies the tolerance value can
be obtained.
#In the Math input mode, the tolerance value is
fixed at 1
E-10 and cannot be changed.
#Inaccurate results and errors can be caused by
the following:
-discontinuous points in
x values
-extreme changes in
x values
-inclusion of the local maximum point and local
minimum point in
x values
-inclusion of the inflection point in
x values
-inclusion of undifferentiable points in
x values
-differential calculation results approaching zero
