Re: Can TI-85 calcs FOIL?
[Prev][Next][Index][Thread]
First off x^2 + 25 does not equal (x+5)(x-5). :^)
The 85 will not do this with a built-in routine. I wrote a program for
this but it wasn't too efficient (ie: too long and slow). There is,
however, a better program written for the 82. It shouldn't be too
difficult to rewrite the code for use on the 85. I believe the program is
named PFACT or something along those lines.
Hope this helps.
