Numerical Calculations
# 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
automatically uses a value for
tol as 1 E -10.
# Specify a tolerance (
tol ) value of 1E-14 or
greater. An error (Time Out) occurs whenever
no solution that satisfi es the tolerance value
can be obtained.
# In the Math input mode, the tolerance value is
fi xed 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 infl ection point in
x values
- inclusion of undifferentiable points in
x values
- differential calculation results approaching zero
