Solving an equation on the HP50G (as compared to the Prime)

[rrpalma]

Thank you *very much* Thomas and RMollov for your help and detailed comments. I am amazed at how much one can learn on this forum.

I just found out also that if I want to accomplish the same from a command and not use the SOLVE app on the HP50G, I need to use the ROOT command, which in fact takes three parameters on the stack: the equation, the variable you're solving for, and then the range in which to look for a solution. The SOLVE command only takes two arguments, whereas on the Prime it takes the three aforementioned (however, I'm still trying to learn how to specify a range on the Prime, as opposed as just a single numeric guess).

Thanks again!!!
