Chapter 2: Math, Angle, and Test Operations 73
On the TI-84 Plus, complex numbers can be stored to variables. Also, complex numbers
are valid list elements.
In Real mode, complex-number results return an error, unless you entered a complex
number as input. For example, in Real mode
ln(L1) returns an error; in a+bi mode ln(L1)
returns an answer.

Complex numbers are stored in rectangular form, but you can enter a complex number
in rectangular form or polar form, regardless of the mode setting. The components of
complex numbers can be real numbers or expressions that evaluate to real numbers;
expressions are evaluated when the command is executed.

Note about Radian Versus Degree Mode
Radian mode is recommended for complex number calculations. Internally, the TI-84
Plus converts all entered trigonometric values to radians, but it does not convert values
for exponential, logarithmic, or hyperbolic functions.
