Alphabetical listing

Items whose names are not alphabetic (such as +, !, and >) are listed at the end of this section, starting on page 128. Unless otherwise specified, all examples in this section were performed in the default reset mode, and all variables are assumed to be undefined.
A
abs()
abs(Expr1) expression abs(
List1) list
abs(Matrix1) matrix
Returns the absolute value of the argument.
Note: See also Absolute value template, page 3.
If the argument is a complex number, returns the number’s modulus.
Note: All undefined variables are treated as real variables.
amortTbl()
amortTbl(NPmt,N,I,PV, [Pmt], [FV], [PpY], [CpY], [PmtAt],
roundValue]) matrix
[
Amortization function that returns a matrix as an amortization table for a set of TVM arguments.
NPmt is the number of payments to be included in the table. The table starts with the first payment.
N, I, PV, Pmt, FV, PpY, CpY, and PmtAt are described in the table of TVM arguments, page 117.
• If you omit Pmt, it defaults to Pmt=tvmPmt(N,I,PV,FV,PpY,CpY,PmtAt).
• If you omit FV, it defaults to FV=0.
• The defaults for PpY, CpY, and PmtAt are the same as for the TVM functions.
roundValue specifies the number of decimal places for rounding. Default=2.
The columns in the result matrix are in this order: Payment number, amount paid to interest, amount paid to principal, and balance.
The balance displayed in row n is the balance after payment n. You can use the output matrix as input for the other amortization
functions GInt() and GPrn(), page 138, and bal(), page 11.

Integer1 and Integer2 integer
Compares two real integers bit-by-bit using an Internally, both integers are converted to signed, 64-bit binary numbers. When corresponding bits are compared, the result is 1 if both bits are 1; otherwise, the result is 0. The returned value represents the bit results, and is displayed according to the Base mode.
You can enter the integers in any number base. For a binary or hexadecimal entry, you must use the 0b or 0h prefix, respectively. Without a prefix, integers are treated as decimal (base 10).
If you enter a decimal integer that is too large for a signed, 64-bit binary form, a symmetric modulo operation is used to bring the value into the appropriate range.

It also makes subsequent operations on the result faster and less likely to exhaust memory.
If Var does not occur in Expr1, comDenom(Expr1,Var ) returns a reduced ratio of an unexpanded numerator over an unexpanded denominator. Such results usually save even more time, memor y, and screen space. Such partially factored results also make subsequent operations on the result much faster and much less likely to exhaust memory.

Although all undefined variables that do not end with an underscore (_) are processed as if they were real, cSolve() can solve polynomial equations for complex solutions.
cSolve() temporarily sets the domain to complex during the solution

You can also include solution variables that do not appear in the equations. These solutions show how families of solutions might contain arbitrary constants of the form ck, w here k is an integer suffix from 1 through 255.
For polynomial systems, computation time or memory exhaustion may depend strongly on the order in which you list solution variables. If your initial choice exhausts memory or your patience, try rearranging the variables in the equations and/or varOrGuess list.
If you do not include any guesses and if any equation is non­polynomial in any variable but all equations are linear in all solution variables, cSolve() uses Gaussian elimination to attempt to determine all solutions.
If a system is neither polynomial in all of its variables nor linear in its solution variables, cSolve() determines at most one solution using an approximate iterative method. To do so, the number of solution variables must equal the number of equations, and all other vari ables in the equations must simplify to numbers.
A non-real guess is often necessary to determine a non-real solution. For convergence, a guess might have to be rather close to a solution.

cZeros()
Note: If Expr is non-polynomial with functions such as abs(), angle(), conj(), real(), or imag(), you should place an
underscore (press /_) at the end of Var . By default, a variable is treated as a real value. If you use var_ , the variable is
treated as complex. You should also use var_ for any other variables in Expr that might
have unreal values. Otherwise, you may receive unexpected results.
cZeros({Expr1, Expr2 [, … ] },
VarOrGuess1,VarOrGuess2 [, … ] }) matrix
{
Returns candidate positions where the expressions are zero simultaneously. Each VarOrGuess specifies an unknown whose value you seek.
Optionally, you can specify an initial guess for a variable. Each
VarOrGuess must have the form:
variable
– or –
variable = real or non-real number
For example, x is valid and so is x=3+i. If all of the expressions are polynomials and you do NOT specify any
initial guesses, cZeros() uses the lexical Gröbner/Buchberger elimination method to attempt to determine all complex zeros.
Complex zeros can include both real and non-real zeros, as in the example to the right.
Each row of the resulting matrix represents an alternate zero, with the components ordered the same as the VarOrGuess list. To extract a row, index the matrix by [row ].

z is treated as real:
z_ is treated as complex:
Note: The following examples use an underscore _ (press
/_) so that the variables will be treated as complex.
Extract row 2:
Simultaneous polynomials can have extra variables that have no values, but represent given numeric values that could be substituted later.
You can also include unknown variables that do not appear in the expressions. These zeros show how families of zeros might contain arbitrary constants of the form ck, where k is an integer suffix from 1 through 255.
For polynomial systems, computation time or memory exhaustion may depend strongly on the order in which you list unknowns. If your initial choice exhausts memory or your patience, try rearranging the variables in the expressions and/or VarOrGuess list.
28 TI-Nspire™ CAS Reference Guide
cZeros()
If you do not include any guesses and if any expression is non­polynomial in any variable but all expressions are linear in all unknowns,
cZeros() uses Gaussian elimination to attempt to
determine all zeros.
If a system is neither polynomial in all of its variables nor linear in its unknowns, cZeros() determines at most one zero using an approximate iterative method. To do so, the number of unknowns must equal the number of expressions, and all other variables in the expressions must simplify to numbers.
A non-real guess is often necessary to determine a non-real zero. For convergence, a guess might have to be rather close to a zero.

deSolve()
deSolve(1stOr2ndOrderODE, Var , depVar)

Returns an equation that explicitly or implicitly specifies a general solution to the 1st- or 2nd-order ordinary differential equation (ODE). In the ODE:
• Use a prime symbol (press ') to denote the 1st derivative of
the dependent variable with respect to the independent variable.
• Use two prime symbols to denote the corresponding second derivative.
The prime symbol is used for derivatives within deSolve() only. In other cases, use
The general solution of a 1st-order equation contains an arbitrary constant of the form ck, where k is an integer suffix from 1 through
255. The solution of a 2nd-order equation contains two such
constants. Apply solve() to an implicit solution if you want to try to convert it
to one or more equivalent explicit solutions.
When comparing your results with textbook or manual solutions, be aware that different methods introduce arbitrary constants at different points in the calculation, which may produce different general solutions.
deSolve(1stOrderODE and initCond, Var , depVar)
Returns a particular solution that satisfies 1stOrderODE and initCond. This is usually easier than determining a general solution,
substituting initial values, solving for the arbitrary constant, and then substituting that value into the general solution.
initCond is an equation of the form: depVar (initialIndependentValue) = initialDependentValue
The initialIndependentValue and initialDependentValue can be variables such as x0 and y0 that have no stored values. Implicit differentiation can help verify implicit solutions.

dominantTerm(Expr1, Va r [, Point]) | Va r <Point
expression
Returns the dominant term of a power series representation of Expr1 expanded about Point. The dominant term is the one whose magnitude grows most rapidly near Va r = Point. The resulting power of (Var N Point) can have a negative and/or fractional exponent. The
coefficient of this power can include logarithms of (Va r N Point) and other functions of Va r that are dominated by all powers of (Va r N
Point) having the same exponent sign.
Point defaults to 0. Point can be ˆ or , in which cases the
dominant term will be the term having the largest exponent of Var rather than the smallest exponent of Va r .
dominantTerm(…) returns “dominantTerm(…)” if it is unable
to determine such a representation, such as for essential singularities such as sin(1/z) at z=0, e
If the series or one of its derivatives has a jump discont inuity at Point, the result is likely to contain sub-expressions of the form sign(…) or
abs(…) for a real expansion variable or (-1) complex expansion variable, which is one ending with "_". If you intend to use the dominant term only for values on one side of Point, then append to dominantTerm(...) the appropriate one of "| Va r > Point", "| Var < Point", "| "Va r Point", or "Va r Point" to obtain a simpler result.
dominantTerm() distributes over 1st-argument lists and matrices. dominantTerm() is useful when you want to know the simplest
possible expression that is asymptotic to another expression as Var " Point. dominantTerm() is also useful when it isn’t obvious what the degree of the first non-zero term of a series will be, and you don’t want to iteratively guess either interactively or by a program loop.

without introducing new non-real subexpressions. This alternative is appropriate if you want factorization with respect to more than one variable.
factor(Expr1,Var ) returns Expr1 factored with respect to variable
Var . Expr1 is factored as much as possible toward real factors that are
linear in Va r, even if it introduces irrational constants or subexpressions that are irrational in other variables.
The factors and their terms are sorted with Va r as the main variable. Similar powers of Va r are collected in each factor. Include Va r if factorization is needed with respect to only that variable and you are willing to accept irrational expressions in any other variables to increase factorization with respect to Va r . There might be some incidental factoring with respect to other variables.
For the Auto setting of the Auto or Approximate mode, including Va r permits approximation with floating-point coefficients where irrational coefficients cannot be explicitly expressed concisely in terms of the built-in functions. Even when there is only one variable, including Va r might yield more complete factorization.

factoring when factor() is not fast enough or if it exhausts memory.
Note: See also cFactor() for factoring all the way to complex

Evaluates the boolean expression BooleanExpr (or each element from BooleanExpr ) and produces a result based on the following rules:
BooleanExpr can test a single value, a list, or a matrix.
• If an element of BooleanExpr evaluates to true, returns the corresponding element from Value_If_true.
• If an element of BooleanExpr evaluates to false, returns the corresponding element from Value_If_false. If you omit Value_If_false, returns undef.
• If an element of BooleanExpr is neither true nor false, returns the corresponding element Value_If_unknown. If you omit Value_If_unknown, returns undef.
• If the second, third, or fourth argument of the ifFn() function is a single expression, the Boolean test is applied to every position in BooleanExpr.
Note: If the simplified BooleanExpr statement involves a list or

Limits at positive ˆ and at negative ˆ are always converted to one­sided limits from the finite side.
Depending on the circumstances, limit() returns it self or undef when it cannot determine a unique limit. This does not necessarily mean that a unique limit does not exist. undef means that the result is either an unknown number with finite or infinite magnitude, or it is the entire set of such numbers.
TI-Nspire™ CAS Reference Guide 55
limit() or lim()
limit() uses methods such as L’Hopital’s rule, so there are unique
limits that it cannot determine. If Expr1 contains undefined variables other than Va r, you might have to constrain them to obtain a more concise result.
Limits can be very sensitive to rounding error. When possible, avoid the Approximate setting of the Auto or Approximate mode and approximate numbers when computing limits. Otherwise, limits that should be zero or have infinite magnitude probably will not, and limits that should have finite non-zero magnitude might not.

For example, x is valid and so is x=3.
nSolve() is often much faster than solve() or zeros(), particularly
if the “|” operator is used to constrain the search to a small interval containing exactly one simple solution.
nSolve() attempts to determine either one point where the residual
is zero or two relatively close points where the residual has opposite signs and the magnitude of the residual is not excessive. If it cannot achieve this using a modest number of sample points, it returns the string “no solution found.”

propFrac()
propFrac(rational_expression,Var ) returns the sum of proper
ratios and a polynomial with respect to Va r . The degree of Va r in the denominator exceeds the degree of Va r in the numerator in each proper ratio. Similar powers of Va r are collected. The terms and their factors are sorted with Var as the main variable.
If Var is omitted, a proper fraction expansion is done with respect to the most main variable. The coefficients of the polynomial part are then made proper with respect to their most main variable first and so on.
For rational expressions, propFrac() is a faster but less extreme alternative to expand().
You can use the propFrac() function to represent mixed fractions and demonstrate addition and subtraction of mixed fractions.
