Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use trigonometric functions?
Enter the angle in degrees, then press the corresponding function button (sin, cos, or tan). The calculator will display the result of the trigonometric function for that angle.
What's the difference between log and ln?
'log' calculates the base-10 logarithm, while 'ln' calculates the natural logarithm (base e). Use log for common logarithmic calculations and ln for natural logarithmic calculations.
How do I calculate powers and roots?
For powers, enter the base number, then press x² for square, x³ for cube, or x^y for any power. For square roots, enter the number and press √.
What are the memory functions?
'C' clears all calculations, while 'CE' clears the current entry. Use these to start new calculations or correct mistakes.
