base) using the following 9 types of prefixes.

Modify Function
Calculation results are internally obtained in scientific notation
with up to 14 digits for the mantissa. However, since calculation
results are displayed in the form designated by the display nota-
tion and the number of decimal places indicated, the internal
calculation result may differ from that shown in the display. By
using the modify function, the internal value is converted to match
that of the display, so that the displayed value can be used
without change in subsequent operations.
Solver Function
The x value can be found that reduces an entered equation to "0".
• This function uses Newton's method to obtain an approxima-
tion. Depending on the function (e.g. periodic) or 'Start' value,
an error may occur (Error 2) due to there being no convergence
to the solution for the equation.
• The value obtained by this function may include a margin of
error. If it is larger than acceptable, recalculate the solution
after changing 'Start' and dx values.
• Change the 'Start' value (e.g. to a negative value) or dx value
(e.g. to a smaller value) if:
• no solution can be found (Error 2).
• more than two solutions appear to be possible (e.g. a cubic
equation).
• to improve the arithmetic precision.
• The calculation result is automatically stored in the X memory.

SIMULATION CALCULATION (ALGB)

If you have to find a value consecutively using the same formula,
such as plotting a curve line for 2x
2
+ 1, or finding the variable for
2x + 2y =14, once you enter the equation, all you have to do is to
specify the value for the variable in the formula.
Usable variables: A-F, M, X and Y
Unusable functions: Random function
• Simulation calculations can only be executed in the normal
mode.

data, a data item without frequency assignment is counted as
one data item, while an item assigned with frequency is stored as

In the statistical calculation formulas, an error will occur when:
• The absolute value of the intermediate result or calculation result
is equal to or greater than 1 × 10
100
.
• The denominator is zero.
• An attempt is made to take the square root of a negative number.
• No solution exists in the quadratic regression calculation.
Normal Probability Calculations
• P(t), Q(t), and R(t) will always take positive values, even when
t<0, because these functions follow the same principle used
when solving for an area.
Values for P(t), Q(t), and R(t) are given to six decimal places.

SIMULTANEOUS LINEAR EQUATIONS

Simultaneous linear equation with two unknowns (2-VLE) or with
three unknowns (3-VLE) may be solved using this function.
Q 2-VLE:
W 3-VLE:
• If the determinant D = 0, an error occurs.
• If the absolute value of an intermediate result or calculation result
is 1 × 10
100
or more, an error occurs.
• Coefficients ( a
, etc.) can be entered using ordinary arithmetic

operations.
• To clear the entered coefficients, press
• Pressing
when the determinant D is in the display recalls

played, enter the correct value and then press

complex numbers, press
to select the complex number
mode.

• On selecting another mode, the imaginary part of any complex
number stored in the independent memory (M) will be cleared.
• A complex number expressed in rectangular coordinates with the
y-value equal to zero, or expressed in polar coordinates with the
angle equal to zero, is treated as a real number.
• Press

fied complex number.
ERROR AND CALCULATION RANGES

or if a mathematically illegal operation is attempted. When an error
occurs, pressing
