[BUG?] Wrong numeric result with CAS `fsolve`/`zeros`/`solve`
I was reading this post in another forum http://forum.hp-prime.de/showthread.php?tid=183
and can confirm that all of the following result in the wrong root 0 on the Prime: zeros(x^4 - 3x^3 - 2.75x^2 + 12x - 5) solve(x^4 - 3x^3 - 2.75x^2 + 12x - 5 = 0) fsolve(x^4 - 3x^3 - 2.75x^2 + 12x - 5 = 0) -> [2.5, 2., -2., 0] The correct result would be: -> [2.5, 2., -2., 0.5] Firmware version: 2016 08 29 (10637) The same commands work correctly with giac 1.2.2. Also, the exact version works on the Prime: zeros(x^4 - 3x^3 - (275/100)*x^2 + 12x - 5) -> [2, -2, 5/2, 1/2] This looks more significant than a small rounding error. |

Another case that's not affected is when I give a parameter range to solve:
solve(x^4 - 3x^3 - 2.75x^2 + 12x - 5 = 0, x=(-3)..3) |

This has been fixed in the source code, I forgot to report it here.

I have the Android app and noticed the same problem in version 8151.
I had reasons to believe that the bug had been solved in the most recent update, but now I have updated my app to version 2016 12 08 (11226), CAS Version: 1.1.2 – 11, and I still have the same problems. See this thread: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Calculators...-p/5269068 |

Jan, the calculator firmware is lagging a bit behind the latest CAS source code. I think we have to wait for a future update until the fix actually ships.
