Answer 28

Whatever it is you want to "input" you can just type it, and wolframalpha will giving you the proper ways to input it along with any related entries.

For example, if you wanted to know how to input a matrix, just simply type "matrix" in the input box, and you will receive the proper entries for it.

Type "solve" and you will get the proper ways of inputting equations to solve for variables, etc.

Answer 29

you just need to find your solutions, factor it and solve
I just write graph and then I type the function
wolf is very forgiving
