HP50G Complex Number CAS manipulations
In page 22 of the Complex Numbers with the HP49G marathon PDF, the author states:
Quote:Let's suppose, we have the equation The answer given is a long statement of the form sqrt(RE(Z)^4− 2RE(Z)^3+2(IM(Z)^2+1) ...etc) My question is how is he getting the CAS to expand the original equation in this way? The most that happens for me is that I get absolute value symbols "||" placed around the z^2 - z. I have tried several combinations of CAS settings, but to no avail. Can someone help me with the settings and key sequence? I am using an HP50G. Thanks. |

RE: HP50G Complex Number CAS manipulations
Are you in complex mode? Is the C annunciator showing or R?
Set complex with HOLD LEFT SHIFT & I. ABS should then work as you want. |

Quote:Let's suppose, we have the equation to solve this, I just do : 1/ Verify you are in complex mode (LShift & i to toggle mode if necessary) 2/ 'z^2 − z' 'z' SOLVE For the ABS see flag 128 (variables are only real, or variables can be complex) (but it's unclear for me what does exactly this flag) |

RE: HP50G Complex Number CAS manipulations
Yes, I'm in complex mode, but thanks for the shortcut.
I must be doing something stupid somewhere, as ABS still doesn't expand the expression, and when I do: 'z^2 − z' 'z' SOLVE I just get: {z=0 z=1} I changed flag 128, but no difference. I'm asking this because in that document, the author goes on to list a program that allows numerical solving on complex variables - which sounds very interesting, but it hinges on substituting parts of the expression that is expanded by ABS. Thanks |

Uncheck flag 128 (Cmplx var allowed) Complex mode Then do 'z^2-z=0' ABS and you get the result with RE and IM parts.... Code: 'SQRT(RE(z)^4+(2*IM(z)^2+2)*RE(z)^2+(IM(z)^4-2*IM(z)^2+1))=0' |

It is working now.
Thank you. |
