[TI-M] Re: Polynomials, factors and division & 89/92+




I must say.. It's been a LONG time since I received anything from this
list.  I almost forgot that I was on it.  Wow.  Cool.  Does this count
as the account validation from Ticalc?  :-P  hehe.

Hi guys
here is my problems:

i want to solve a polynomial problem with the 92+ and I don't think the 
calc can solve it as easy as Mathematica does...

it is:
find h and k so that both: x-3 and x+2 are factors of x^4-x^3+hx^2+kx-6

i solved it the "hard way" (sinthethic division and equation systems) by

hand (actually I used the calc to solve the eq. system)

in Mathematica it's easy to solve since it has the function 
PolynomialRemainder[] which returns the remainder so I just plan an eq 
system saying that the remainders equal 0 and it works.

now, what can I do with the 92+?


Thanks
