You need two equals like == not one. You need brackets also and not parenthesis. Then it works. There are 4 roots by the way. Looks like you only want the real ones. Solve[x^4-1==3,x] -----Original Message----- From: Mike [mailto:jenningsmca_REMOVETHIS at hotmail.com] To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net Subject: [mg56973] [mg56926] solve() problem since new ROM update I have tried multiple problems (simple ones albiet) to solve while in ALG mode. SOLVE(x^4 - 1 = 3, x) but this provides no result. Just returns the question with no answer. The answer should be x = -Sqrt(2) or x = sqrt(2). The example works in RPN, but I use both environments depending what I am doing. It worked before the upgrade. Am I missing something here! - Mike
