You can also use the SUBST command to substitute expressions. For

example, to substitute the expression y + 2 for x in the previous example:

1. Retrieve the original command from

history and edit it to replace the

substitution value.

Expanding and Factorizing

The HP 49G can expand and factorize most algebraic expressions. The

commands that perform these fimctions are in the algebraic category. If

the expression that you are working on contains exponential or
trigonometric functions, you may need to simplify the expression before

using EXPAND or FACTOR. See “Exponential and trigonometric

expressions” on page 5-14.

Expanding expressions

You use the EXPAND command to expand and simplify an expression.
The following example expands the expression:

( x + l ) ( 2 x - 5 ) ( x - 7 )

1. Open the Algebra command list and select

EXPAND to place it on the command line.

2

.

With the cursor between the parentheses,

open Equation Writer and create the
expression. Wlien you have created it,

press (ENTER) to place it on the coiraxiand

line between the parentheses.
