Inputting a Vector into a Calculation
To use a vector, you can use any one of the methods described below to input it into a calculation.
Method 1: Using the name of the vector variable
Example:
To input "Vct A"
Note
• You can input either an upper-case X (P+(X)) or lower-case x (X) for vector variable "Vct X". Both
"Vct X" and "Vct x " refer to the same vector variable.
Method 2: Using a template
Vectors with up to 6 rows and 1 column or up to 6 columns and 1 row can be input using a template.
Example:
To input the 2-row × 1-column vector
1. While the Calculation tab is active, select T > [m×n].
2. In the dialog that appears, perform the following operation to specify
two rows and one column: 2E1EO.
• This displays a 2-row × 1-column template.
3. Use the template to enter values.
Method 3: Using linear input form
To input this:
m -row × 1-column vector
1-row × n -column vector a
The maximum value of both m and n is 999.
Example:
To input the 1-row × 3-column vector 1 2 3 .
Using Vectors in Calculations
Your calculator supports the types of vector calculations.
• Addition, subtraction, and multiplication of two vectors, and scalar multiplication of one vector.
These types of calculations are performed by entering vectors and operators. Examples of how to perform
these calculations are provided below.
• Dot product, cross product, norm (magnitude) of a vector, angle between two vectors, unit vector.
For these calculations, see the
Note
• The calculation precision of displayed results for vector calculations is ±1 at the least significant digit.
Vector Calculation Examples
The examples here show the various input methods based on the following vector addition: 1 2 + 3 4 = 4 6 .
Using vector variables
Input 1 2 in Vct A and 3 4 in Vct B and then perform the operations below.
