Hit equal sign again
3. Linear Equations; 3 Variables, 3 Unknowns
Press Mode + 5
Press 2 (which is the form for 3 equations 3 unknown linear equation)
Input the coefficient of the variables (don’t forget to hit equal sign after entering
each coefficient)
Hit equal sign once
Hit equal sign again (to solve for y)
Hit equal sign again (to solve for z)
4. Linear Equations; 2 Equations, 2 Unknowns
Press Mode + 5
Press 1 (which is the form for 2 equations 2 unknown linear equation)
Input the coefficient of the variables (don’t forget to hit equal sign after entering
each coefficient)
Hit equal sign once
Hit equal sign again (to solve for y)
5. Arithmetic Progression; NTH term
Press Mode + 3
Press 2 (which is the form for arithmetic progression)
Input the term on the X column and the its value on the Y column (input at least 2
given terms and values; don’t forget to hit equal sign after entering each value)
Press AC
Press Shift + 1 + 5 (regression)
Press 5 (y-hat)
Enter at the left side of the y-hat the NTH term of the required value
Press equal sign
6. Sum of Arithmetic Progression
*Find first at what term is the last number in the given
Press Mode + 3 + 2
Input the first 2 terms and values (don’t forget to hit equal sign after entering each
value)
Press AC
Press Shift + 1 + 5
Press 4 (x-hat; to find what term is the last number)
Enter at the left side of the x-hat the value of the NTH term required
Press AC
Press Shift + Σ (log■□)
Press Alpha + ) + Shift + 1 + 5 + 5 (y-hat)
Press Shift + ) (comma)
Press 1 (1st term)
Press Shift + ) (comma)
Enter the last term (nth term of the last number)
Press )
Press the equal sign
7. Geometric Progression; NTH Term
Press Mode + 3
Press 6 (which is the form for geometric progression)
Input the given (don’t forget to hit equal sign after entering each value)
Press AC
Press Shift + 1 + 5 + 5 (y-hat)
Enter at the left side of the y-hat the NTH term of the required value
Hit equal sign
8. Sum of Geometric Progression
Press Mode + 3
Press 6 (which is the form for geometric progression)
Input the given (don’t forget to hit equal sign after entering each value)
Press AC
Press Shift + 1 + 5 + 5 (y-hat)
Move the cursor to the left of the y-hat
Press Shift + Σ (log■□)
Press Alpha + ) (X)
Move the cursor to the right of the y-hat
Press Shift + ) (comma)
Press 1 (1st term)
Press Shift + ) (comma)
Press the last term (nth term of the last number)
Press )
Hit equal sign
9. Problems with Complex Numbers
Press Mode + 2 (CMPLX)
Input the problem with complex numbers
Hit the equal sign
*Complex numbers with exponents higher than the power of 3
Press Mode + 2 (CMPLX)
Input the problem with complex numbers (the highest power of exponent
in order not to get MATH ERROR is 3, so factor/breakdown the equation)
Hit the equal sign
10. Polar Conversion to Rectangular
Press Mode + 1 (COMP)
Press Shift + - (Rec)
Input the expression (make sure that your calculator is in degrees if the problem is
in degrees)
Hit the equal sign
11. Limits
Press Mode + 2 (CMPLX)
Input the expression/equation
Press CALC
Enter the closest value to the given limit (e.g. x→4, enter 3.999999)
Hit the equal sign
*When dealing with trigonometric functions, make sure your calculator is in radian mode
