Hi,

I have been using my Classpad 300PLUS for maybe 2 years. Although I many times used solve option of it, last day it did not work. I wrote the following into classpad:

solve(sin(x)=1,x)

But it gave me a solution like

{x=360constn(1)+90}

But i don't want a solution like this. I want x=90 when it is in degree format. Also my calculator gives same kind of different results for equations including sin, cos, tan...

What is the problem friends? Please help me.

It is completely right solution. constn(1) means any integer number. As we know the solution for sin(x)=1 is x=pi/2 + 2kpi. k here equal constn(1).
If you want to have only one specific solution, try solve(sin(x)=1,x)|0<x<180
Good luck. and welcome to the forum

This is correct I agree. But it also gives solution of the following equation for M in terms of tan(M^2). It has to iterate and give a solution for M. A number:) Not a olution like M = tan(M^2 bla bla...) When I write solve(equation,M,0) it gives correct one, i mean two M values. In the past it was not like this.
