The

 

 

key simply changes the font in the table from small to big, and

 

vice versa. Try it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The @

 

key, when pressed, produces a menu with the options: In, Out,

 

Decimal, Integer, and Trig. Try the following exercises:

 

 

 

 

With the option In highlighted, press

. The table is expanded so

 

 

that the x-increment is now 0.25 rather than 0.5. Simply, what the

 

 

 

calculator does is to multiply the original increment, 0.5, by the zoom

 

 

factor, 0.5, to produce the new increment of 0.25. Thus, the zoom in

 

 

option is useful when you want more resolution for the values of x in

 

 

your table.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To increase the resolution by an additional factor of 0.5 press

 

,

 

 

select In once more, and press

. The x-increment is now

 

 

 

 

0.0125.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To recover the previous x-increment, press

 

to select

 

 

 

the option Un-zoom. The x-increment is increased to 0.25.

To recover the original x-increment of 0.5 you can do an un-zoom

 

 

 

again, or use the option zoom out by pressing

 

.

The option Decimal in

produces x-increments of

0.10.

 

 

 

The option Integer in

produces x-increments of 1.

 

 

 

The option Trig in produces increments related to fractions of π , thus

 

 

being useful when producing tables of trigonometric functions.
