1/Meet
the
Scientific
Calculator
The
scientific
calculator
differs
from
the
standard
type
in
that
it
has
many
more
keys
and
that
each
key
has
a
number
of
different
functions.
In
this
section
you
will
learn
about
how
these
keys
and
functions,
as
well
as
the
general
flow
of
basic
operations
for
your
scientif-
ic
calculator.
We
recommend
that
you
spend
a
few
minutes
reading
through
this
section
before
continuing
on
to
actual
operation.
1.
Reading
the
Key
Function
Indicators
As
mentioned
above,
each
key
of
the
scientific
calculator
is
capabie
of
a
variety
of
func-
tions.
For
example,
you
would
use
a
key
such
as
the
one
illustrated
below
for
the
four
functions:
x~',
x!,
A
and
A
(what
each
of
these
markings
means
will
be
covered
ater
in
this
manual).
With
this
key,
simply
pressing
it
will
perform
the
v7!
function,
pressing
it
following
the
key
performs
the
x!
function,
pressing
it
following
the
Gai)
key
enters
the
variable
A,
while
hexadecimal
number
/A
is
entered
when
the
key
is
pressed
in
the
BASE-N
mode
(page
3).
Besides
these
three,
some
keys
are
marked
with
other
functions
that
can
only
be
performed
in
the
SD
(standard
deviation)
mode
or
LR
(regression
analysis)
mode
(see
page
4
for
modes).
All
of
this
may
sound
a
little
hard
to
remember.
To
help
you
keep
them
straight,
the
func-
tion
markings
that
appear
above
and
below
the
keys
have
been
color
coded.
Note
the
following:
Marking Meaning
Orange Press after Gf),
Red Press after (i.
Green
Press
in
BASE-N
mode.
Blue
Press
in
SD
or
LR
mode.
2. Understanding Modes
Before
you
start
your
calculations
on
a
scientific
calculator,
you
much
first
tell
it
how
to
handie
the
information
you
are
about
to
input.
The
way
that
the
calculator
handles
the
information
you
give
it
depends
on
the
mode
that
the
calculated
is
in.
Once
you
put
the
calculator
into
a
mode,
you
may
be
required
to
make
one
or
more
fur-
ther
choices.
The
following
illustration
shows
ail
of
the
modes
possibie,
and
their
relation-
ship
with
each
other.
