Errors in CAS and Geometry
I'd like to report any bugs in equation solving where LN (x) and LOG (x) appear. This applies to the CAS computing module.
Let me give you some examples:
1. Solve (x ^ 2 - 30 = LN (x - 2)). The equation has two solutions, the calculator gives only one solution, x = {5.59}. He doesn't find the second solution, x = 2.
2. Solve (x ^ 2 -6) = LN (x ^ 2 - 3)). There are 4 solutions and they were all given correctly: {-2.74, -1.75, 1.75, 2.74}. This is ok.
3. Solve (x ^ 2 - 30 = LOG (x-2)). There are 2 roots {2, 5.53}, but the calculator only gives one root {5.53}, the second is x = 2, it doesn't.
4. Solve (x ^ 2 - 20 = LOG (x ^ 2 -3). There are 4 roots {-4.61, -1.73, 1.73, 4.61}. The calculator only finds two {-4.61, 4.61}.
And now I want to show you similar errors occurring in the Geometry application.
1. I am looking for intersections for the functions y = x ^ 2 -10 and y = LN (x). There are two intersection points and both are shown. OKAY
2. I am looking for the intersection points for the functions y = x ^ 2 -10 and y = LN (x + 2). There are two intersection points, but the calculator finds only one.
3. I am looking for intercepts for the functions y = x ^ 2 -10 and y = LN (x ^ 2 - 2). There are 4 intersection points, but the calculator only finds 2 intersections
4. Similar errors occur for the LOG (x) function.
I think the above bugs will be fixed in the next update.
