Two-Number Functions

The HP-15C performs two-number math functions using two values entered sequentially into the display. If you are keying in both numbers, remember that they must be separated by v or any other function – like

‘or ∕– that terminates digit entry.

For a two-number function, the first value entered is considered the y-value because it is placed into the Y-register for memory storage. The second value entered is considered the x-value because it remains in the display, which is the X-register.

The arithmetic operators, +, -, *, and ÷, are the four basic two- number functions. Others are given below.

The Power Function

Pressing Y calculates the value of y raised to the x power. The base number, y, is keyed in before the exponent, x.

Percentages

The percentage functions, k and ∆, preserve the value of the original base number along with the result of the percentage calculation. As shown in the example below, this allows you to carry out subsequent calculations using the base number and the result without re-entering the base number.

Percent. The k function calculates the specified percentage of a base number.
