Symbolic Manipulation

Functions such as 
solve
 and ‰ (integrate) can use both exact symbolic and approximate 
numeric techniques. These functions skip all or some of their exact symbolic techniques 
in the APPROXIMATE setting.

When Exact/Approx = AUTO, the handheld uses exact rational arithmetic wherever all of 
the operands are rational numbers. Otherwise, floating-point arithmetic is used after 
Advantages
Disadvantages
If exact results are not needed, this 
might save time and/or use less 
memory than the EXACT setting.
Approximate results are sometimes 
more compact and comprehensible 
than exact results.
Results with undefined variables or 
functions often exhibit incomplete 
cancellation. For example, a 
coefficient that should be 0 might be 
displayed as a small magnitude such 
as 1.23457E

11.
If you do not plan to use symbolic 
computations, approximate results 
are similar to familiar, traditional 
numeric calculators.
Symbolic operations such as limits 
and integration are less likely to give 
satisfying results in the 
APPROXIMATE setting.
Approximate results are sometimes 
less compact and comprehensible 
than exact results. For example, you 
may prefer to see 1/7 instead of 
.142857.
