When you insert a template, it appears on the entry line with small blocks at positions where you can enter elements. A cursor shows which element you can enter. Position the cursor on each element, and type a value or expression for the element. Fraction template /p keys Example: Note: See also / (divide), page 212. Exponent template l key Example: Note: Type the first value, press l, and then type the exponent. To return the cursor to the baseline, press right arrow (¢). Note: See also ^ (power), page 213. Square root template /q keys Example: Note: See also √() (square root), page 223. Nth root template /l keys Example: Note: See also root(), page 154. Expression Templates 1 Nth root template /l keys e exponent template u keys Example: Natural exponential e raised to a power Note: See also e^(), page 57. Log template /s key Example: Calculates log to a specified base. For a default of base 10, omit the base. Note: See also log(), page 107. Piecewise template (2-piece) Catalog > Example: Lets you create expressions and conditions for a two-piece piecewise function. To add a piece, click in the template and repeat the template. Note: See also piecewise(), page 133. 2 Expression Templates Piecewise template (N-piece) Catalog > Lets you create expressions and conditions Example: for an N-piece piecewise function. Prompts for N. See the example for Piecewise template (2- piece). Note: See also piecewise(), page 133. System of 2 equations template Catalog > Example: Creates a system of two equations. To add a row to an existing system, click in the template and repeat the template. Note: See also system(), page 182. System of N equations template Catalog > Lets you create a system of N equations. Example: Prompts for N. See the example for System of equations template (2-equation). Note: See also system(), page 182. Absolute value template Catalog > Example: Note: See also abs(), page 8. Expression Templates 3 Absolute value template Catalog > dd°mm’ss.ss’’ template Catalog > Example: Lets you enter angles in dd°mm’ss.ss’’ format, where dd is the number of decimal degrees, mm is the number of minutes, and ss.ss is the number of seconds. Matrix template (2 x 2) Catalog > Example: Creates a 2 x 2 matrix. Matrix template (1 x 2) Catalog > Example: . Matrix template (2 x 1) Catalog > Example: Matrix template (m x n) Catalog > The template appears after you are Example: prompted to specify the number of rows and columns. 4 Expression Templates Matrix template (m x n) Catalog > Note: If you create a matrix with a large number of rows and columns, it may take a few moments to appear. Sum template (Σ) Catalog > Example: Note: See also Σ() (sumSeq), page 224. Product template (Π) Catalog > Example: Note: See also Π() (prodSeq), page 223. First derivative template Catalog > Example: The first derivative template can also be used to calculate first derivative at a point. Note: See also d() (derivative), page 221. Expression Templates 5 Second derivative template Catalog > Example: The second derivative template can also be used to calculate second derivative at a point. Note: See also d() (derivative), page 221. Nth derivative template Catalog > Example: The nth derivative template can be used to calculate the nth derivative. Note: See also d() (derivative), page 221. Definite integral template Catalog > Example: Note: See also∫() integral(), page 221. Indefinite integral template Catalog > Example: Note: See also ∫() integral(), page 221. Limit template Catalog > Example: 6 Expression Templates Limit template Catalog > Use − or (−) for left hand limit. Use + for right hand limit. Note: See also limit(), page 6. Expression Templates 7 Alphabetical Listing Items whose names are not alphabetic (such as +, !, and >) are listed at the end of this section, page 210. Unless otherwise specified, all examples in this section were performed in the default reset mode, and all variables are assumed to be undefined. A abs() Catalog > abs(Expr1) ⇒ expression abs(List1) ⇒ list abs(Matrix1) ⇒ matrix Returns the absolute value of the argument. Note: See also Absolute value template, page 3. If the argument is a complex number, returns the number’s modulus. Note: All undefined variables are treated as real variables. amortTbl() Catalog > amortTbl(NPmt,N,I,PV, [Pmt], [FV], [PpY], [CpY], [PmtAt], [roundValue]) ⇒ matrix Amortization function that returns a matrix as an amortization table for a set of TVM arguments. NPmt is the number of payments to be included in the table. The table starts with the first payment. N, I, PV, Pmt, FV, PpY, CpY, and PmtAt are described in the table of TVM arguments, page 195. • If you omit Pmt, it defaults to Pmt=tvmPmt (N,I,PV,FV,PpY,CpY,PmtAt). • If you omit FV, it defaults to FV=0. • The defaults for PpY, CpY, and PmtAt are the same as for the TVM functions. 8 Alphabetical Listing amortTbl() Catalog > roundValue specifies the number of decimal places for rounding. Default=2. The columns in the result matrix are in this order: Payment number, amount paid to interest, amount paid to principal, and balance. The balance displayed in row n is the balance after payment n. You can use the output matrix as input for the other amortization functions ΣInt() and ΣPrn(), page 225, and bal(), page 17. and Catalog > BooleanExpr1 and BooleanExpr2 ⇒ Boolean expression BooleanList1 and BooleanList2 ⇒ Boolean list BooleanMatrix1 and BooleanMatrix2 ⇒ Boolean matrix Returns true or false or a simplified form of the original entry. Integer1 andInteger2 ⇒ integer In Hex base mode: Compares two real integers bit-by-bit using an and operation. Internally, both integers are converted to signed, 64-bit binary Important: Zero, not the letter O. numbers. When corresponding bits are compared, the result is 1 if both bits are 1; otherwise, the result is 0. The returned In Bin base mode: value represents the bit results, and is displayed according to the Base mode. You can enter the integers in any number base. For a binary or hexadecimal entry, you In Dec base mode: must use the 0b or 0h prefix, respectively. Without a prefix, integers are treated as decimal (base 10). Note: A binary entry can have up to 64 digits (not counting the 0b prefix). A hexadecimal entry can have up to 16 digits. Alphabetical Listing 9 angle() Catalog > angle(Expr1) ⇒ expression In Degree angle mode: Returns the angle of the argument, interpreting the argument as a complex number. In Gradian angle mode: Note: All undefined variables are treated as real variables. In Radian angle mode: angle(List1) ⇒ list angle(Matrix1) ⇒ matrix Returns a list or matrix of angles of the elements in List1 or Matrix1, interpreting each element as a complex number that represents a two-dimensional rectangular coordinate point. ANOVA Catalog > ANOVA List1,List2[,List3,...,List20][,Flag] Performs a one-way analysis of variance for comparing the means of two to 20 populations.
