HP Prime Graphing NW280AAABA manual Keyboard functions, Abbreviations used in this chapter

Abbreviations used in this chapter

In describing the syntax of functions and commands, the following abbreviations and conventions are used:

Eqn: an equation

Expr: a mathematical expression

Fnc: a function

Frac: a fraction

Intgr: an integer

Obj: signifies that objects of more than one type are allowable here

Poly: a polynomial

RatFrac: a rational fraction

Val: a real value

Var: a variable

Parameters that are optional are given in square brackets, as

in NORMAL_ICDF([μ,σ,]p).

For ease of reading, commas are used to separate parameters, but these are only necessary to separate parameters. Thus a single-parameter command needs no comma after the parameter even if, in the syntax shown below, there is a comma between it and an optional parameter. An example is the syntax zeros(Expr,[Var]). The comma is needed only if you are specifying the optional parameter Var.

Keyboard functions

The most frequently used functions are available directly from the keyboard. Many of the keyboard functions also accept complex numbers as arguments. Enter the keys and inputs shown below and press Eto evaluate the expression.

In the examples below, shifted functions are represented by the actual keys to be pressed, with the function name shown in parentheses. For example, Se(ASIN) means that to make an arc sine calculation (ASIN), you press Se.
