Using the e Key
Use the e key to input exponential values. You can also input exponential values using the
E key on the 9 and ) keyboards.
Examples: 2.54 × 10
3
= 2540
c.feedw
1600 × 10
–4
= 0.16

Omitting the Multiplication Sign
You can omit the multiplication sign in any of the following cases.
• In front of a function
Examples: 2sin (30), 10log (1.2)
• In front of a constant or variable
Examples: a
π
, 2ab, 3ans
• In front of an open parenthesis
Examples: 3(5 + 6), (a + 1)(b – 1)
Note that you must use a multiplication sign when the expression directly in front of the
open parenthesis is a literal variable. Example: ab (3 + b) must be written ab × (3 + b).
Otherwise, your input is considered to be in function notation (
f (x)).
• In front of the e key or E key (See “Using the e Key” above.)
• In front of a matrix or list
Examples: a {1, 2, 3}, 3 [[1,2] [3,4]]
Using the Answer Variable (ans)
Any time you execute a calculation in the Main application work area, the last result is
assigned automatically to a variable named “ans” (answer). You can even recall current “ans”
variable contents and input them into another calculation by pressing the D key as shown
below.
Example: 123 + 456 = 579 bcd+efgw
789 – 579 = 210 hij-Dw
210 ÷ 7 = 30 D/hw
