Solving transcendental eqns with calculator?
How does one solve a transcendental equation on a Ti-89? I had thought the command was nSolve, but am not quite sure how it works.
Thank you in advance.

nSolve uses a numerical iterating algorithm (most likely a form of Newton's method) to solve equations. Other solvers in the TI-89 are referenced in the first PDF. The text below comes from the second pdf.
An example follows:
'The syntax is nSolve(equation, var or variable guess). For instance, to find a root of sin(x^2) nearest x = 8, enter nSolve(sin(x^2) = 0, x = 8). The calculator returns 7.92665.'
