Solve Bug?
Hello to everyone,
I found some time ago an interesting Polynomial on another forum. It seems to be a bug in the Prime CAS. Yesterday I updated my HP prime and tested it again to find the roots of it. On all other calculators I have, like the HP 48 (withe Erable), the 49g, the 50g there is the same solution, only the prime seems to be a little more creative ;-) So I like to ask you if you know what the problem is in this case.... Try to find the root of f(x)= x^4 - 3x^3 - 2.75x^2 + 12x - 5 It doesn't matter if I do it with solve, zeros... exact or approx mode...I always get the answer 2.5 2. -2. 0 0 can't be a root of this polynomial. The right solution should be 0.5 2.5 2. -2. Interestingly, when i try it with proot and type -11/4 instead of -2.75 it works. solve with -11/4 works too. My HP Prime is on the newest firmware. So is there anybody who can explain this behavior? Thank you all in advance! Best regards Oliver |
