Equa diff Help - jc_63 - 01-01-2014 04:57 PM
Hello, on HP Prime, when i enter in CAS mode :
deSolve(y+2E-3*y'=0 AND y(0)=10,y)
I get an error "bad arguments".
How to define the diff operator ' or diff() ?
Is there a special key to ' ?
Thanks for your help.

In CAS mode, use 2*10^(-3) and not 2E-3.

It's OK when i enter :
desolve(y+2E-3*diff(y)=0 AND y(0)=10,y)
> 10*e^(-500*x)
y' is not correct !
Thanks,
JC

I've found : the ' is in Chars (Shift Vars) and y' is correctly coded as diff().
With Shift 9, the ' is not the same but minute (angle unit).
It is a source of error !

An easier way to get ' is to use [Shift][ () ] and delete the extra tic mark.
