Re: Hi can I do complex Numbers on Ti-85?
There's something called "Cardano's Solution of the Cubic" which'll get
you a closed-form solutions to cubic polynomials.
To put a cpx number into the TI-85, type it like:
(a,b)
where "a" is the real part, and "b" is the imaginary part. For example,
I have the number (0,1) stored to little-i on my calculator, so I can do
things w/ sqrt(-1) without fooling around too much.
