IPerforming Continuous Calculations

Answer memory also lets you use the result of one calculation as one of the arguments in the next calculation.

Example

1

ω 3

=

 

1

ω 3

σ 3 =
@BU(Continuing) BU

Continuous calculations can also be used with Type B functions (x2, x–1, x!, on page 2-2), +, –, ^(xy), x, ° ’ ”, etc.

3. Specifying the Angle Unit and Display Format

Before performing a calculation for the first time, you should use the Setup screen to specify the angle unit and display format.

ISetting the Angle Unit

[SET UP]-

[Angle]
1.On the Setup screen, highlight “Angle”.2.Press the function key for the angle unit you want to specify, then press ).

•{Deg}/{Rad}/{Gra} ... {degrees}/{radians}/{grads}

•The relationship between degrees, grads, and radians is shown below. 360° = 2Π radians = 400 grads

90° = Π/2 radians = 100 grads

ISetting the Display Format

[SET UP]-

[Display]

1.On the Setup screen, highlight “Display”.2.Press the function key for the item you want to set, then press ).

•{Fix}/{Sci}/{Norm}/{Eng} ... {fixed number of decimal places specification}/ {number of significant digits specification}/{normal display}/{Engineering mode}

STo specify the number of decimal places (Fix)

Example

To specify two decimal places

 

(Fix)AU

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Press the number key that corresponds to the number of decimal places you want to specify

 

(n = 0 to 9).

• Displayed values are rounded off to the number of decimal places you specify.
