Functions In Equations - HP 32SII Owner's Manual

To enter a number in an equation, you can use the standard number–entry
keys, including
more digits. Don't use
When you start entering the number, the cursor changes from " " to "_" to
show numeric entry. The cursor changes back when you press a nonnumeric
key.

Functions in Equations

You can enter many HP 32SII functions in an equation. A complete list is
given tinder "Equation Functions" later in this chapter. Appendix F,
"Operation Index," also gives this information.
When you enter an equation, you enter functions in about the same way you
put them in ordinary algebraic equations:
In an equation, certain functions are normally shown between its
arguments, such as "+" and " ÷ ". For such infix operators, enter them in
an equation in the same order.
Other functions normally have one or more arguments after the function
name, such as "COS" and "LN". For such prefix functions, enter them in
an equation where the function occurs—the key you press puts a left
parenthesis after the function name so you can enter its arguments.
If the function has two or more arguments, press
key) to separate them.
If the function is followed by other operations, press
the function arguments — otherwise, you don't have to add the trailing
")".
If the first key in an equation is a function from the top row of keys on the
calculator, and if the displayed equation has the
