basic help
« on: April 13, 2010, 09:35:56 PM »
i enter this equation into a calculator it work but not in this app
here is the question

2x^2 + 3xy -4y^2

so in the app i put

x:=2
y:=-4
2x^2 + 3xy -4y^2

answer I get is when i press go

8 + 3xy -64
why does this app not solve it all

What do I have to do, wish there was a download of all the things you can do because trying to find something on this is to darn hard.

thanks all

Use x*y rather than xy.
