(4)Use the vector editor screen to input each element.

Input is subject to the same rules as those that govern the coefficient editor screen in the EQN Mode. For more information, see “Rules for Inputting and Editing Coefficients”.

If you want to create another vector, repeat this procedure from step (1).

Copying the Contents of One Vector to Another Vector

You can copy the contents of Vector Answer Memory (VctAns) or of a vector in vector memory to another vector in vector memory. The vector copy operation is basically the same as the matrix copy operation. See “Copying the Contents of One Matrix to Another Matrix” for more information.

kPerforming Vector Calculations

To perform a vector calculation, display the vector calculation screen by pressing the Akey.

Vector Answer Memory Screen
