# Internal calculations are performed using a 15-
digit mantissa, but results are displayed using
a 10-digit mantissa and a 2-digit exponent.
# Simultaneous linear equations are solved
by inverting the matrix containing the
coeffi cients of the equations. For example,
the following shows the solution (
x 1, x 2, x 3)
of a simultaneous linear equation with three
unknowns.
Because of this, precision is reduced as the
value of the determinant approaches zero. Also,
simultaneous equations with three or more
unknowns may take a very long time to solve.
# An error occurs if the calculator is unable to fi nd
a solution.
# After calculation is complete, you can press
1 (REPT), change coeffi cient values, and then
re-calculate.
