Chapter 4 Scientific Functions This calculator has a variety of functions. Press m 0 to select NORMAL mode and perform scientific calculations. • For basic calculations, see page 11. • When a listed financial variable is displayed, you can enter the result of a scientific calculation into it by pressing Q immediately after completing the calculation. • Scientific calculations can also be performed in STAT mode. • The examples in this chapter are all performed under the SET UP menu's default settings. Before starting calculation, press s to clear the display. Constant Calculations Example 34 + 57 = 45 + 57 = 68 × 25 = 68 × 40 = Key operation s 34 + 57 = 45 = 68 x 25 = 40 = Result 9100 10200 170000 272000 • In constant calculations, the addend becomes a constant. Subtraction and division behave the same way. For multiplication, the multiplicand becomes a constant. • In constant calculations, constants will be displayed as . Chain Calculations A calculation result (ANS memory) can be used in a subsequent calculation. However, it cannot be recalled after entering multiple instructions. Example 6 + 4 = ANS ANS + 5 = 8 × 2 = ANS ANS2 = 44 + 37 = ANS ANS = Key operation s6 +4 = +5 = 8 x 2 = . ; = 44 + 37 = . } = Result 1000 1500 1600 25600 8100 900 60
