TI-83 PlusGraphing Calculator Basic Skill # 00 Entering and Editing Numerical Calculations
BasicOperations… • Notice thatthe keypadhas 4 blueoperation keys,and • a blue [ENTER] keywhich works like anequal sign key. • You normally press the [ENTER] key after entering your calculation.
BasicOperations… • Notice thatthe keypadhas 10 whitekeys with thedigits from 0 to 9, • plus a whitedecimal point key,and • a white negative number sign key. You must use this key and not the subtraction key to indicate a negative number.
BasicOperations… • Notice thatthe keypadhas 2 blackkeys forparenthesesor grouping, • plus a blackkey for “squaring”a number, and • a black key for indicating other exponents.
Try This Example ( + ) x2 3 8
Try This Example ( - ) ^ 2 6 3
Order of Operations • The calculator always performs operations according to the “universal” order: • Parentheses (or grouping) • Exponents • Multiply or Divide from left to right • Add or Subtract from left to right
Ooops...What if you make a mistake and type in the wrong calculation?
2nd KEY • Notice that the keypad has one gold key labeled 2nd and there are words written in small gold letters above many of the other keys. • The 2nd key works like the “Shift” key on a computer keyboard. • To perform the functions or operations written in small gold letters, first press and release the 2nd key and then press the key below the gold command.
CorrectingMistakes… • Notice thatthe gold commandabove the blue[ENTER] key isENTRY. • If you type in acalculation, press[ENTER], and thenrealize that you madea mistake, you can edit this previous entry by first pressing the gold 2nd function key and then the blue [ENTER] key.
Try This Example Ooops, 237 should have been 239!
ENTRY ENTER To correct your mistake, press... 2nd • Then use your left arrow key to move the cursor over the entry you need to correct...
Recalculating the New Entry... • With your cursor over the 7 in 237, type the correct digit and then press [ENTER] to recalculate your new entry. ENTER 9
Inserting more digits and/or operations... • When editing an entry, the calculator normally only allows you to “replace” or “type over” an existing digit or operation. • If you need to insert more digits or operations, you must put the calculator into “insert” mode. • INSERT is the 2nd function command on the DELETE key.
Try This Example Ooops, what if the 239 should have been 2039!
ENTRY ENTER To insert another digit, press... 2nd • Then use your left arrow key to move the cursor over the entry you need to correct (over the 9)...
INS DEL INSERT mode... • With your cursor over the 9 in 239, press... 2nd • Notice that your cursor changes from a full rectangle to a small underline.
INSERT mode... • Now type in the new digit... ENTER 0 • Then press [ENTER] to recalculate the new entry...
ENTRY ENTER Correcting Entries... 2nd • Pressing the 2nd function key and [ENTER] the first time will display the most recent entry and allow you to edit it. • Pressing the 2nd function key and [ENTER] key again will display the second most recent entry and allow you to edit it. • Pressing these keys again and again will continue displaying previous entries in the calculator’s memory.
What about fractions?? Will the calculator perform operations with fractions?
Entering Fractions... • Notice that the keypad does not have a special “fraction” key so fractionsmust be entered as a division(numerator / denominator). • A mixed number must be entered as a sum of the whole number plus thefraction.(whole number + numerator / denominator)
Notice that the answer is displayed as a decimal, not a fraction! The calculator will always display answers in decimal form unless you use a special command to convert the decimal answer to fraction form. Try This Example
ENTRY ENTER Let’s edit this entry, press... 2nd • Now let’s use a special command to convert the answer into a fraction.
Press... MATH Then press... ENTER
Then press [ENTER] a second time to recalculate your entry... ENTER Notice that the answer is now displayed as an improper fraction!
MATH MATH OR ENTER 1 Anytime you enter fractions into a calculation and you want your answer expressed as a fraction, press [MATH] and then [ENTER] (or [MATH] and then the [ 1 ] key) before pressing [ENTER] to complete the calculation.
Summary • Remember the special keys used for special numbers or operations • negative number key • parentheses keys (order of operations) • x2 “squared” key or ^ “exponent” key • 2nd function ENTRY command for correcting mistakes or editing previous entries • “>Frac” command for converting answers into fraction form
