Hey,
How would I specify an interval for a function? Is an if absolutely needed?
Example: solve(cos(x)=0, x)
I would like an answer between 0 and 2*PI.
In my calculator, it can be accomplished as such: solve(cos(x)=0, x {0, 2*PI}) = 1.57...

Just use 3 and 4 arguments: solve(cos(x);x;0;2*π)=mat(1,5707963;4,712389;2;1)

The range is specified as the third and fourth argument. solve(cos(x)≡0;x;0;2*π)=mat(1,5708;4,7124;2;1)(Pay attention on Boolean equal to, and function argument separator - here at the forum we must us ";" with MATH tag, but you can use either ";" or "," depending on regional settings) If you do not specify the root find range, it is defined by default in Tools=>Options=>Roots(range). If you keep say the range [-100,100], with solve(cos(x)=0, x)= you will have lots of roots there. Regards, Radovan EDIT: BTW, you can visit this wiki pageEdited by user 27 October 2009 22:04:10(UTC)
