; This file shows how to solve an equation for an unknown variable.

; Solve  f(x) = x^3 - 2*x - 5 .

!solve x, [-100,0]:  x^3 - 2*x - 5    ;please wait, this takes a few seconds!

; We did not find a solution in the interval -100 to 0.  When this happens
; either there is no solution in the interval or the search interval is
; too large or includes singularity points.

!solve x, [0,100]:  x^3 - 2*x - 5

; Here we did find a solution in the interval 0 to +100.  The solution is
; stored in the variable 'x' after the solve command completes.
