To ewaluate a polynomial at a giwen walue:
1. Enter the polynomial in coefficient form onto the stack.
2. Enter the given value at which you want to evaluate the
polynomial.
3. Press ¡»^fSOLVEl POLY PtS-'FlL.
To con’i'ert s polynomial froni coefilcient to algebraic form:
1. Open the polynomial root-finder.
2. If it doesn’t already contain the polynomial in coefficient form,
enter it into the COEFFICIENTS field.
3. With the highlight on the COEFFICIENTS field, press SYMB
The symbolic polynomial is sent to the stack using x as the
variable.
Solving a System of Linear Equations;
The HP 48 can solve a system of linear equations. To create your
system of equations, you can either choose them from among those
you've stored, or enter them directly.
As you solve a system of equations, remember that a system of
equations can be represented by a. single matrix equation of the form
AX = B:

The HP 48 makes use of this representation to solve systems of linear
equations rapidly and efficiently.
