RoundOff Error
The limited (12–digit) precision of the calculator can cause errors due to rounding
off, which adversely affect the iterative solutions of SOLVE and integration. For
example,
010-]101)x[(
30215
=++
has no roots because f(x) is always greater than zero. However, given initial
guesses of 1 and 2, SOLVE returns the answer 1.0000 due to round–off error.
Round–off error can also cause SOLVE to fail to find a root. The equation
07-x
2
=
has a root at
7
. However, no 12–digit number exactly equals
7
, so the
calculator can never make the function equal to zero. Furthermore, the function
never changes sign SOLVE returns the message
 ! 
. However, the final
estimate of
x (press
b
to see it) is the best possible 12–digit approximation of
the root when the routine quits.
