Trigonometric Modes
Fortrigonometric functions, angles can be assumed by the calculator
to be in decimal degrees, radians, or grads. When the HP-67 is first
turned ON, it ''wakes up'' with angles assumed to be in decimal
degrees. To select radians mode, press (3
(radians) before using
a trigonometric function. To select grads mode, press [
(grads).
To select decimal degrees again, press [
(degrees).
Note: 360 degrees = 400 grads = 27 radians
Functions
The six trigonometric functions provided by the calculator are:
(1] (sine)
8
(arcsine)
08
(cosine)
8
(arc cosine)
@
(tangent)
a
(arc tangent)
Each trigonometric function assumes that angles are in decimal
degrees, radians, or grads, depending upon the trigonometric mode
selected.
All trigonometric functions are one-number functions, so to use them,
you key in the number, then press the function key(s).
Example: Find the cosine of 35°.
