setting, while 20 rows are supported for the “f(x),g(x)” setting. • You can use the number table screen for viewing values only. Table contents cannot be edited. • The number table generation operation causes the contents of variable X to be changed.

Important: The function you input for number table generation is deleted whenever you display the setup menu in the TABLE Mode and switch between Natural Display and Linear Display.

Vector Calculations (VECTOR)

Use the VECTOR Mode to perform 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional vector calculations. To perform a vector calculation, you first assign data to special vector variables (VctA, VctB, VctC), and then use the variables in the calculation as shown in the example below.

1

To assign (1, 2) to VctA and (3, 4) to VctB, and then perform the

following calculation: (1, 2) + (3, 4)

 

1.Press N8(VECTOR) to enter the VECTOR Mode.

2.Press 1(VctA)2(2).

• This will display the Vector Editor for input

 

VCT

of the 2-dimensional vector for VctA.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“A” stands for “VctA”.

3.Input the elements of VctA: 1 =2 =.

4.Perform the following key operation: 15(VECTOR)2(Data) 2(VctB)2(2).

•This will display the Vector Editor for input of the 2-dimensional vector for VctB.

5.Input the elements of VctB: 3 =4 =.

6.Press Ato advance to the calculation screen, and perform the calculation (VctA + VctB): 15(VECTOR)3(VctA)+15(VECTOR) 4(VctB)=.

•This will display the VctAns screen with the calculation results.

“Ans” stands for

“VctAns”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note: “VctAns” stands for “Vector Answer Memory”. See “Vector Answer Memory” for more information.

Vector Answer Memory

Whenever the result of a calculation executed in the VECTOR Mode is a vector, the VctAns screen will appear with the result. The result also will be assigned to a variable named “VctAns”.

The VctAns variable can be used in calculations as described below.

•To insert the VctAns variable into a calculation, perform the following key operation: 15(VECTOR)6(VctAns).

•Pressing any one of the following keys while the VctAns screen is displayed will switch automatically to the calculation screen: +, -, *, /. The calculation screen will show the VctAns variable followed by the operator for the key you pressed.
