Trig Functions
The following trig functions are available on the HP-46:
SIN ASN (sin°1)
cOS ACS (cos™)
TAN ATN (tan'!)
These functions, as the simple functions, operate on x, whether it is a
newly keyed in number or the result of a previous calculation. To use
the standard trig functions, press the function key. To use the inverse
functions, press first =mm , and then the appropriate function key.
The calculator uses storage location number 9 to store intermediate
results while calculating trig functions. Any data stored in this location
is erased when using these functions.
