Notes
The examples on the transparency
masters assume all default settings.
To use G, enter the base, press G, and
then enter the exponent.
The base (or mantissa) and the exponent
may be either positive or negative. Refer
to Domain under Error Messages in
Appendix C for restrictions.
The result of calculations with G must
be within the range of the TI-34 Û.
A sign change takes precedence over
exponents.
