Creating A Complex Vector; Displaying A Vector - Texas Instruments TI-86 Manual Book

Creating a Complex Vector

If any element of a vector is complex, all elements of the vector are displayed as complex.
For example, when you enter the vector
To create a complex vector from two real vectors, the syntax is:
realVector imaginaryVector
+(0,1)
realVector contains the real part of each element and imaginaryVector contains the
imaginary part.

Displaying a Vector

To display a vector, paste the vector name to the home screen, and then press b.
To display a specific element of vectorName on the home screen or in a program, the syntax is:
vectorName element#
( )
Real two- and three-element vector results are displayed according to the current vector
