Silly question about solver

[Tim Wessman]

The CAS in Prime does not automatically switch to approximate mode (like the Nspire) when it cannot perfectly resolve a solution exactly in a symbolic way. This simple equation actually requires a rather advanced function to represent the result symbolically and this is not yet supported in the CAS on Prime or in the Nspire which is why neither can symbolically solve for all roots.

simply add a "f" to the front to use the "fsolve" command instead. (Stands for "floating point solve")

fsolve(x^2-2^x=0)
