System of inequalities (another error) - Aries - 09-15-2015 11:06 AM

Hello everyone,
in this simple system of non-linear inequalities, the HP Prime gives the wrong result:
SOLVE({7x-x^2>0,x^2-6x-4<0}), it returns 0<x<3+sqrt(13).

The right result here is: 0<x<7 ;-)
This makes the Prime unreliable in doing such exercises.
Best,

Aries :-)

Thanks for your precious time, Jean-Michel, I feel bad about all this and please have mercy on me, my eyes played a dirty trick on me :-(
Sorry, I'm ashamed :'(
Wish you all the best,

Aries ;-)
