Note that you must create one or more vector before you can perform vector calculations.

You can have up to three vectors, named A, B, and C, in memory at one time.

The results of vector calculations are stored automatically into VctAns memory. You can use the matrix in VctAns memory in subsequent vector calculations.

kCreating a Vector

To create a vector, press A z1 (Dim), specify a vector name (A, B, or C), and then specify the dimensions of the vector. Next, follow the prompts that appear input values that make up the elements of the vector.

You can use the e and r keys to move about the vector in order to view or edit its elements.

To exit the vector screen, press t.

kEditing Vector Elements

Press A z 2(Edit) and then specify the name (A, B,

C)of the vector you want to edit to display a screen for editing the elements of the vector.

kAdding and Subtracting Vectors

Use the procedures described below to add and subtract vectors.
