Go to num-solv and get 0= and go to right side of = and put d/dx in, hit enter which will place f(x) in the differential, make x=x! hit enter to enter solve template. Choose a guess and solve for x. You can then quit, press table, select 1 and enter getting f( make that f(x), enter and get f(x) value. Press x, enter, and get the value of x.

Thanks. I'll try this.

I think you can solve for f'(x)=0 directly in num solve:
Y = d/dx (your expression containing x)|x=x
Solve for x

Let me know if it works - maybe you already posted this earlier? Yes I think the TI36 may be as useful or more so than the $100+ graphing calcs.
