nPr(Matrix1, Matrix2)
⇒ matrix
Returns a matrix of permutations based on the corresponding element pairs in the two matrices. npv()
npv(InterestRate, CFO, CFList[, CFFreq])
Catalog >
Financial function that calculates net present value; the sum of the present values for the cash inflows and outflows. InterestRate is the rate by which to discount the cash flows (the cost of money) over one period. CFList is a list of cash flow amounts after the initial cash flow CF0. CFFreq is a list in which each element specifies the frequency of occurrence for a grouped (consecutive) cash flow amount, which is the corresponding element of CFList. The default is 1; if you enter values, they must be positive integers < 10, 000. nSolve()

TI-Nspire™ CAS Reference Guide
nSolve() nSolve() is often much faster than solve() or zeros(), particularly if the “|” operator is used to constrain the search to a small interval containing exactly one simple solution. nSolve() attempts to determine either one point where the residual is zero or two relatively close points where the residual has opposite signs and the magnitude of the residual is not excessive. If it cannot achieve this using a modest number of sample points, it returns the string “no solution found. ”
Note: See also cSolve(), cZeros(), solve(), and zeros().

4Polar
Vector 4Polar
Note: You can insert this operator from the computer keyboard by typing @>Polar.
Catalog >
Displays vector in polar form [r ±q]. The vector must be of dimension 2 and can be a row or a column.
Note: 4Polar is a display-format instruction, not a conversion
function. You can use it only at the end of an entry line, and it does not update ans.
Note: See also 4Rect, page 98.
complexValue 4Polar Displays complexVector in polar form. Radian angle mode returns reiq.
In Radian angle mode:
complexValue can have any complex form. However, an reiq entry causes an error in Degree angle mode.
Note: You must use the parentheses for an (r±q) polar entry.

polyCoeffs()
polyCoeffs(Poly [, Var])
Catalog >
⇒ list
Returns a list of the coefficients of polynomial Poly with respect to variable Var. We recommend that you do not omit Var unless Poly is an expression in a single variable.
Expands the polynomial and selects x for the omitted Var.
polyDegree()
polyDegree(Poly [, Var])
Catalog >
⇒ value
Returns the degree of polynomial expression Poly with respect to variable Var. If you omit Var, the polyDegree() function selects a default from the variables contained in the polynomial Poly. [. . . ] Use one of the following commands:
