The following table shoves the two ways to evaluate equations. Type of Equation Result for š Result for W Equality: g (x) = f(x) Example: x2 + y2 = r2 g (x) - f(x) x2 + y2- r2 Assignment: y = f(x) Example: A = 0.5 × b x h f(x) 0.5 × b × h y - f(x) A - 0.5 × b × h Expression: f(x) Example: x3 + 1 f(x) x3 + 1 Also stores the result in the left-hand variable, A for example. To evaluate an equation: 1. Display the desired equation. (See "Displaying and Selecting Equations" above.) 2. Press š or W. The equation prompts for a value for each variable needed. (If you've changed the number base, it's automatically changed back to base 10.) 3. For each prompt, enter the desired value: If the displayed value is good, press f. If you want, a different value, type the value and press f. (Also see "Responding to Equation Prompts" later in this chapter.) The evaluation of an equation takes no values from the stack - it uses only numbers in the equation and variable values. The value of the equation is returned to the X-register. The LAST X register isn't affected. Using ENTER for Evaluation If an equation is displayed in the equation list, you can press š to evaluate the equation. (If you're in the process of typing the equation, pressing š only ends the equation-it doesn't evaluate it.) 6-12 Entering and Evaluating Equations File name 32sii-Manual-E-0424 Printed Date : 2003/4/24 Size : 17.7 x 25.2 cm
