To recall this type of value: Perform this key operation: • Example: To calculate , and for the following data: 55, 54, 51, 55, 53, 53, 54, 52 In the SD Mode: Stat clear Each time you press to register your input, the number of data input up to that point is indicated on the display (n value).
Page 21
You can then edit the displayed data, if you want.lnput the new value and then press the to replace the old value with the new one. • Pressing the key instead of after changing a value on the display registers the value you input as a new data item,and leaves the old value as it is.

Pol (x, y) Rec (r, θ) Decimal Sexagesimal conversions (n is an integer) However: (n ≠ 0; n is an integer) However: Total of integer,numerator,and denominator must be 10 digits or less (including division marks). (REG) * Fora single calculation,calculation error is ±1 at the 10th digit. (In the case of exponential display, calculation error is ±1 at the last significant digit.) Errors are cumulative in the case of consecutive calculations, which can also cause them to become large. (This is also true of internal consecutive calculations that are performed in the case of nPr, nCr, etc.) In the vicinity of a function’s singular point and point of inflection, errors are cumulative and...
