QXA

Type:

Command

 

 

Description:

Expresses a quadratic form in matrix form.

 

 

Access:

QUADF, MATRX

 

 

Input:

Level 2/Argument 1: A quadratic form.

 

 

 

Level 1/Argument 2: A vector containing the variables.

 

Output:

Level 2/Item 1: The quadratic form expressed in matrix form.

 

 

Level 1/Item 2: The vector containing the variables.

RAD

Command

 

 

Type:

 

 

Description:

Radians Mode Command: Sets Radians angle mode.

 

 

RAD sets flag –17 and clears flag –18, and displays the RAD annunciator.

 

In Radians angle mode, real-number arguments that represent angles are interpreted as radians,

 

and real-number results that represent angles are expressed in radians.

 

Access:

& HANGLE RAD

 

 

 

„°LMODES ANGLE RAD

( °is the left-shift of the Nkey).

Input/Output:

None

RAND

Command

 

 

Type:

 

 

Description:

Random Number Command: Returns a pseudo-random number generated using a seed value,

 

and updates the seed value.

 

 

 

The calculator uses a linear congruential method and a seed value to generate a random number

 

xrandom in the range 0 ≤ x < 1. Each succeeding execution of RAND returns a value computed

 

from a seed value based upon the previous RAND value. (Use RDZ to change the seed.)

Access:

!´LPROBABILITY RAND

( ´is the left-shift of the Pkey).

Input/Output:
