"Too few/too many arguments"???

<p>In my TI89 Titanium, when I put in</p>

<p>solve(6x=12) for example, it comes up with the error message: Too few arguments.</p>

<p>And when I put in
mean(85,90,96), it says “Too many arguments.”</p>

<p>What does that mean? What am I doing wrong?</p>

<p>read your manual…
it explains…
I don’t know how to use the mean function but for solve you need to do
solve (some equation, x)
example
solve (2x=2, x)
result x=1</p>

<p>Doesn’t the mean function work for a list? So you’d have to enter 85, 90, and 96 in L1 (or L2 or whatever), then enter mean(L1). I think. I can’t find my calculator at the moment so I can’t check.</p>
