Entering an Equation in the Equation-Entry Editor
The equation solver uses two editors: the equation-entry editor, where you enter and edit the
equation you want to solve, and the interactive-solver editor, where you enter known variable
values, select the variable for which you want to solve, and display the solution.

♦
Enter an equation directly.
♦
Enter a defined equation variable’s individual
characters or select it from the

menu.
♦
Recall the contents of a defined equation variable.
As you enter or edit the equation, the TI
-86 automatically stores it to the variable
eqn
.
The
VARS
EQU
menu is a menu version of the
VARS
EQU
screen (Chapter 2). The items are
all variables to which an equation is stored. This includes all selected and deselected
equation variables defined in the equation editors of all four graphing modes (Chapters 5, 8,
9, and 10). The menu items are in alphanumeric order.
