Using the program
   To exit out of this do not hit clear!!!  This will delete everything on the line!  Make sure you hit 2nd then mode (quit).
   Now push program and select the one you just made.  Hit enter and type in the value of A. Then do this for B and C.  Remember ax^2+bx+c=0.  Example:  x^2-3x+2=0; A=1, B=-3 (use negative sign if necessary), C=2.  The bold numbers are the numbers that you would enter in your program.  After you enter all three variables hit enter and you get your answer.

hi. when you're putting in the numbers into the program, and say the equation is 12^2+x^2 =13^2 , how do we arrange it, and do we insert the power of the exponent into the program as well? thank you!
