To enter a number in scientific notation, follow these steps.
1. Enter the part of the number that precedes the exponent. This
value can be an expression.
2. Press y [
EE]. å
åå
å is pasted to the cursor location.
3. If the exponent is negative, press Ì, and then enter the
exponent, which can be one or two digits.
When you enter a number in scientific notation, the
TI-82 STATS does not automatically display answers in
scientific or engineering notation. The mode settings (page 1.9)
and the size of the number determine the display format.
A function returns a value. For example,
÷, L, +, ‡(, and log( are
the functions in the example on page 1.6. In general, the first letter
of each function is lowercase on the TI-82 STATS. Most
functions take at least one argument, as indicated by an open
parenthesis (
( ) following the name. For example, sin( requires
one argument,
sin(value).
An instruction initiates an action. For example,
ClrDraw is an
instruction that clears any drawn elements from a graph.
Instructions cannot be used in expressions. In general, the first
letter of each instruction name is uppercase. Some instructions
take more than one argument, as indicated by an open
parenthesis (
( ) at the end of the name. For example, Circle(
requires three arguments, Circle(X,Y,radius).
To interrupt a calculation or graph in progress, which would be
indicated by the busy indicator, press É.
When you interrupt a calculation, the menu is displayed.
• To return to the home screen, select
1:Quit.
• To go to the location of the interruption, select
2:Goto.
When you interrupt a graph, a partial graph is displayed.
• To return to the home screen, press ‘ or any
nongraphing key.
• To restart graphing, press a graphing key or select a graphing
instruction.
