I have seen a few programs that sort of do this, but none that I really like. In your oppinion, what is the best app avalible for solving equations that are like:
F(9)=X^4+5X-2
I really could use something like this, especially for exponents and roots.

If your talking about solving equations in terms of X then your better off learning it, I don't think there are any good programs that can do that. I may be wrong though.

Belive me you want to learn this stuff on paper. It will save your grade.

It is much easier to suggest solutions when you know nothing about the problem.

Just thought I'd also point out that if you can't solve
F(9)=X^4+5X-2

then you should [b]really[/b] learn your math. If you have the "x" in f(x) then you just plug it in and that's your "f" which is also your "y".

In this case...

F(9)= X^4+5X-2
F(9)= (9)^4 + 5(9) - 2
F(9)= 6604

I'm guessing you meant an equation where your not given one of the variables, in which case your example fails.

PS @Zachary
I would consider calc programs a save, learning is the given.

Well it depends. Back in high school I learnd the stuff and programed it into the calc. I could do it on paper and just used the calc as a double check and or homework.

The 84+ has a built-in equation solver--[MATH] -> "0:Solver..."
