ans() 2 ± key
ans() ⇒
value
ans(
integer
) ⇒
value
Returns a previous answer from the Home screen
history area.
integer
, if included, specifies which previous answer
to recall. Valid range for
integer
is from 1 to 99 and
cannot be an expression. Default is 1, the most
recent answer.

approx() MATH/Algebra menu
approx(
expression
) ⇒
value
Returns the evaluation of
expression
as a decimal
value, when possible, regardless of the current
Exact/Approx
mode.
This is equivalent to entering
expression
and
pressing
¥

matrix
Returns a list or matrix where each element has
been evaluated to a decimal value, when possible.

Moves the specified variables from RAM to the user
data archive memory.
You can access an archived variable the same as
you would a variable in RAM. However, you cannot
delete, rename, or store to an archived variable
because it is locked automatically.
To unarchive variables, use

) ⇒
expression
Returns the arc length of
expression1
from
start
to
end
with respect to variable
var
.
Regardless of the graphing mode, arc length is
calculated as an integral assuming a function mode
definition.
