Finding Symbolic Solutions to Equations
A common goal of algebraic manipulation of an expression or equation
is to “solve for” a variable symbolically—that is, to express one
variable in terms of the other variables and numbers in the expression
or equation. You can solve symbolically using these commands:
m
ISOI. Solves for a variable that appears only once in any type of
expression or equation.
■ QUAD. Solves for a variable that appears in a quadratic expression
or equation.
Comparison of Commands for Symbolic Solutions
ISOL Command
QUAD Command
Variable appears only once.
Variable can be any order.
Variable can be the argument of a
nonlinear function (such as SIN).
Variable can appear several
times—no rearranging required.
Variable must not be higher than
second order for an exact
solution.
