3.Key in R and press f, key in T and press f, then key in P and press fContinue at step 5.

4.Key in X and press f, key in Y and press f, and key in Z and press

f.

5.To key in a second vector, press WE (for enter), then go to step 2.

6.Perform desired vector operation:

a.Add vectors by pressing WA;

b.Subtract vector one from vector two by pressing WS;

c.Compute the cross product by pressing WC;

d.Compute the dot product by pressing WD and the angle between vectors by pressing f.

7.Optional: to review v1 in polar form, press W P, then press f repeatedly to see the individual elements.

8.Optional: to review v1 in rectangular form, press WR, then press f repeatedly to see the individual elements.

9.If you added, subtracted, or computed the cross product, v1 has been replaced by the result, v2 is not altered. To continue calculations based on the result, remember to press WE before keying in a new vector.

10.Go to step 2 to continue vector calculations.

Variables Used:

X, Y, Z The rectangular components of v1.

U, V, W The rectangular components of v2.

R, T, P The radius, the angle in the xyplane (θ), and the angle from the Z axis of v1 (U).

DThe dot product

GThe angle between vector (γ)
