Handling Precautions

Be sure to press the 5 key before using the calculator for the first time. Even if the calculator is operating normally, replace the battery at least once every three years for the fx83MS/fx-85MS/fx-270MS/fx-300MS/fx-350MS, or at least once every two years for the fx-82MS. A dead battery can leak, causing damage to and malfunction of the calculator. Never leave a dead battery in the calculator. The battery that comes with this unit discharges slightly during shipment and storage. Because of this, it may require replacement sooner than the normal expected battery life. Low battery power can cause memory contents to become corrupted or lost completely. Always keep written records of all important data. Avoid use and storage in areas subjected to temperature extremes. Very low temperatures can cause slow display response, total failure of the display, and shortening of battery life. Also avoid leaving the calculator in direct sunlight, near a window, near a heater or anywhere else it might be exposed to very high temperatures. Heat can cause discoloration or deformation of the calculators case, and damage to internal circuitry. Avoid use and storage in areas subjected to large amounts of humidity and dust. Take care never to leave the calculator where it might be splashed by water or exposed to large amounts of humidity or dust. Such conditions can damage internal circuitry. E-3

Never drop the calculator or otherwise subject it to strong impact. Never twist or bend the calculator. Avoid carrying the calculator in the pocket of your trousers or other tight-fitting clothing where it might be subjected to twisting or bending. Never try to take the calculator apart. Never press the keys of the calculator with a ballpoint pen or other pointed object. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the calculator. If the calculator becomes very dirty, wipe it off with a cloth moistened in a weak solution of water and a mild neutral household detergent. Wring out all excess moisture before wiping the calculator. Never use thinner, benzene or other volatile agents to clean the calculator. Doing so can remove printed markings and can damage the case.

Memory Calculations

Use the F key to enter the COMP Mode when you want to perform a calculation using memory. COMP... F 1

k Answer Memory

Whenever you press = after inputting values or an expression, the calculated result automatically updates Answer Memory contents by storing the result. In addition to =, Answer Memory contents are also updated with result whenever you press A v, |, A {, or A j followed by a letter (A through F, or M, X, or Y). You can recall Answer Memory contents by pressing g. Answer Memory can store up to 12 digits for the mantissa and two digits for the exponent. Answer Memory contents are not updated if the operation performed by any of the above key operations results in an error.

k Consecutive Calculations
You can use the calculation result that is currently on the display (and also stored in Answer Memory) as the first value of your next calculation. Note that pressing an operator key while a result is displayed causes the displayed value to change to Ans, indicating it is the value that is currently stored in Answer Memory. The result of a calculation can also be used with a subsequent Type A function (x2, x3, x1, x!, DRG'), +, , ^(xy), x , , , nPr and nCr.

k Independent Memory

Values can be input directly into memory, added to memory, or subtracted from memory. Independent memory is convenient for calculating cumulative totals. Independent memory uses the same memory area as variable M. To clear independent memory (M), input 0 A j 3 (M+). E-16
Example: ) 90 (Total) 23 + 9 A j 3 (M+) 53 , 6 | 45 - 2 A {

Standard Deviation

SD REG SD
Use the F key to enter the SD Mode when you want to perform statistical calculations using standard deviation. SD.. F 2 In the SD Mode and REG Mode, the | key operates as the S key. Always start data input with A B 1 (Scl) = to clear statistical memory. Input data using the key sequence shown below. <x-data> S Input data is used to calculate values for n, x, x2, o, n and n-1, which you can recall using the key operations noted nearby.
To recall this type of value:
Perform this key operation:

x2 x n o n n-1

AU1 AU2 AU3 AX1 AX2 AX3
Example: To calculate n1, n, o, n, x, and x2 for the following data : 55, 54, 51, 55, 53, 53, 54, 52 In the SD Mode: A B 1 (Scl) = (Stat clear) 55 S

Data Input Precautions S S inputs the same data twice.
You can also input multiple entries of the same data using A G. To input the data 110 ten times, for example, press 110 A G 10 S. You can perform the above key operations in any order, and not necessarily that shown above. While inputting data or after inputting data is complete, you can use the [ and ] keys to scroll through data you have input. If you input multiple entries of the same data using A G to specify the data frequency (number of data items) as described above, scrolling through data shows both the data item and a separate screen for the data frequency (Freq). E-22
You can then edit the displayed data, if you want. Input the new value and then press the = key to replace the old value with the new one. This also means that if you want to perform some other operation (calculation, recall of statistical calculation results, etc.), you should always press the t key first to exit data display. Pressing the S key instead of = after changing a value on the display registers the value you input as a new data item, and leaves the old value as it is. You can delete a data value displayed using [ and ] by pressing A U. Deleting a data value causes all values following it to be shifted up. Data values you register are normally stored in calculator memory. The message Data Full appears and you will not be able to input any more data if there is no memory left for data storage. If this happens, press the = key to display the screen shown below.

Ed i t OFF ESC

Press 2 to exit data input without registering the value you just input. Press 1 if you want to register the value you just input, without saving it in memory. If you do this, however, you will not be able to display or edit any of the data you have input. To delete data you have just input, press A U. After inputting statistical data in the SD Mode or REG Mode, you will be unable to display or edit individual data items any longer after perform either the following operations.

Logarithmic Regression Exponential Regression Power Regression Inverse Regression y A B In x y A eBx (In y In A + Bx) y A xB (In y In A + BIn x) y A B 1/x

u Quadratic Regression

The regression formula for quadratic regression is: y = A + Bx + Cx2. Example:

1.6 23.5 38.0 46.4 48.0

Perform quadratic regression to determine the regression formula terms for the data nearby. Next, use the regression formula to estimate the values for n (estimated value of y) for xi = 16 and m (estimated value of x) for yi = 20.

In the REG Mode:

r 3(Quad) A B 1 (Scl) = (Stat clear) 29 P 1.6 S 50 P 23.5 S 74 P 38.0 S 103 P 46.4 S 118 P 48.0 S Regression Coefficient A = 35.59856934 AXrr1= Regression Coefficient B = 1.495939413 AXrr2=

16 A X r r r 3 = 20 A X r r r 1 = 20 A X r r r 2 =
You can also input multiple entries of the same data using A G. To input the data 20 and 30 five times, for example, press 20 P 30 A G 5 S. The above results can be obtained in any order, and not necessarily that shown above. Precautions when editing data input for standard deviation also apply for regression calculations. Do not use variables A through F, X, or Y to store data when performing statistical calculations. These variables are used for statistical calculation temporary memory, so any data you may have assigned to them may be replaced by other values during statistical calculations. Entering the REG Mode and selecting a regression type (Lin, Log, Exp, Pwr, Inv, Quad) clear variables A through F, X, and Y. Changing from one regression type to another inside the REG Mode also clears these variables.

Solving Simultaneous Equations

established and solved as simultaneous equations.

*The following shows operation using the fx-100MS/115MS/570MS/991MS.

170 beans are divided among three individuals named A, B, and C. The ratio of beans given to A and B is 3:5, while the number of beans given to C is 22 less than the combined total given to A and B. How many beans each were given to A, B, and C?
Let us say A received x number of beans, B received y number of beans, and C received z number of beans. This means the total number of beans is x + y + z = 170. Also, since we know the ratio of beans received between A (x) and B (y) is 3:5, we can say 5x = 3y, which can be transformed to 5x 3y = 0. Finally, since C (z) received 22 beans less than A and B combined, we can say z = x + y 22.
Combining all of this leaves us with the set of simultaneous equations we should be able to solve and come up with the answer we need.
x + y + z = 170 5x 3y = 0 , which x + y z = 22
In this example we have three unknowns, x, y, and z so we would specify 3.

Problems Involving Complex Numbers, with an Emphasis on Polar Form
Rotate 3 2i 60 degrees around the origin of the complex plane, and then determine the point with a ratio of 2 with the origin as the center.

imaginary

Defining r as the distance of point (a, b) from the origin on the complex plane and as the angle formed with the positive part of the x-axis makes it possible to express complex number z = a + bi as z = r (cos + i sin ). This is called polar representation of complex number z. Using polar representation for z2 in the complex number multiplication z1 z2 gives us z2 = r2 (cos2 + i sin2). Now we can rotate zaround the origin of the complex plane, giving us a value with a ratio of r2 with the origin as the center.

Statistics Problems

The following are the measured 100-meter race times for five students. 12.5 11.6 10.8 12.8 11.4 (Unit: Seconds) Calculate the mean and the sample standard deviation for these results. Replace the times of the 12-second runners (runner 1 and runner 4) with 11.1 and 11.7 seconds (which are times run by other students), and calculate the mean and sample standard deviation again.
Sample standard deviation is a value that expresses the level of variation among data. When the number of data samples is n, the value of each data is xi (i = 1.n), and the mean is x : Sample standard deviation n-1 = (xi 2 nx 2)/(n1). Instead of using these complex formulas, you can obtain the same results using a simple key operation on the calculator.

( fx-570MS/fx-991MS only)
Determine X2 Y2 for two matrices named X and Y when X + Y = and X Y = 7 1.
Matrix multiplication normally does not follow the commutative law XY = YX. Consequently, (X + Y) (X Y) = X2 XY + YX Y2 must be used.
1. Select the MAT Mode. FFF2 2. Specify the matrix name, and the number of rows and columns, and then input its elements.
For this problem, we need to input X + Y into Matrix A and X Y into Matrix B. The following shows input of the elements of Matrix A. Specify Matrix A.

A j 1 (Dim) 1 (A)

Specify 2 for the number of rows (m).
Specify 2 for the number of columns (n).
Matrix A is displayed as First, input 3 for A11.

A11 A12. A21 A22

Next, input 2 for A12, 3 for A21, and 1 for A22.
The display returns to the initial element (A11) of the matrix after input of values for all elements is complete.
Use the same procedure to input Matrix B elements.
A j 1 (Dim) 2 (B) 2 = 2 = 1=D4=7=1=t
3. Determine X and Y from X + Y and X Y.
First, use (X + Y) + (X Y) = 2X to determine X.
A j 3 (Mat) 1 (A) + A j 3 (Mat) 2 (B) =
1 C 2 - A j 3 (Mat) 4 (Ans) =
This produces the result X =
You can use [, ], e, and r to view the other elements of the matrix.
4. Input result obtained for X into Matrix C. A j 1 (Dim) 3 (C) 2 = 2 = 2=D1=5=0=t 5. Now determine Y from (X + Y) X = Y. A j 3 (Mat) 1 (A) , A j 3 (Mat) 3 (C) =

This produces the result Y =
6. Now perform the calculation Matrix C Matrix C Matrix Ans Matrix Ans (= X Y ). A j 3 (Mat) 3 (C) K , A j 3 (Mat) 4 (Ans) K =
The above steps show us that X2 Y2 =
Use a matrix to solve the simultaneous equations 2x 3y = 18 3x + 2y = 1.
x a b k ax + by = k Placing simultaneous equations cx + dy = l inside matrices A = c d , X = y , and B = l makes it possible to express them as AX = B. This means that if inverse matrix A-1 exists for Matrix A, then X = A-1B.
1. Select the MAT Mode. FFF2 2. Input
for Matrix A and 18 for Matrix B. 2
A j 1 (Dim) 1 (A) 2 = 2 = 2=D3=3=2=t A j 1 (Dim) 2 (B) 2 = 1 = 18 = 1 = t 3. Determine in inverse for Matrix A. A j 3 (Mat) 1 (A) a = 4. Multiply the inverse matrix by Matrix B (from the left). A j 3 (Mat) 2 (B) =
The above procedure tells us that x = 3 and y = 4.

Vector Problems

Express c = (12, 5) in the form c = s a + t b when a = (2, 1), b = (3, 4).
b = (3,4) a = (2,1) sa tb
Though this is a vector problem, it can be solved by solving the following simultaneous equations for each component.

2s 3t = 12 s + 4t = 5

c = (12, 5) = sa + t b
1. Select the EQN Mode and specify 2 as the number of unknowns. FFF1 (Unknowns?) 2 2. Input the function and store it. (a1?) 2 = (b1?) D 3 = (c1?) 12 = (a2?) 1 = (b2?) 4 = (c2?) D 5 = 3. This shows that the solutions of the simultaneous equations are 3 and 2.
The above tells us that c =3a 2 b.
What type of triangle would be produced by the vertices of the three points A = (5, 1, 2), B = (1, 0, 1), and C = (2, 4, 2)?
When determining the properties of a triangle, Explanation Explanation the length of a side is determined using the absolute value of its vector, while the angle formed by two sides is determined using the inner product of their vectors. For this problem, first lets determine the lengths of the three sides of triangle ABC.
C (2, 4, 2) B (1, 0, 1) y A (5, 1, 2)
1. Select the VCT Mode. FFF3
2. Specify the vector name and dimension, and then input its elements.
The following shows input of the elements of Vector A. Specify Vector A.

A z 1 (Dim) 1 (A)

Specify three dimensions.
3-dimensional Vector A is displayed as (A1 A2 A3). First, input 5 for A1.
Next, input 1 into A2 and 2 into A3.
The display returns to the initial element (A1) after input of values for all elements is complete.
Use the same procedure to input elements for Vector B and Vector C.
A z 1 (Dim) 2 (B) 3 = 1=0=1=t A z 1 (Dim) 3 (C) 3 = 2=4=2=t
3. Calculate A =. B b a A z 3 (Vct)
2 (B) , A z 3 (Vct) 1 (A) =

4. Calculate the absolute value of A. B
The value of A B is stored in Ans memory by step 3, so you can use Vct Ans as shown below.
A A A z 3 (Vct) 4 (Ans) =
C A 5. Use the same procedure to obtain absolute values for B and C. A z 3 (Vct) 3 (C) , A z 3 (Vct) 2 (B)
A z 3 (Vct) 1 (A) , A z 3 (Vct) 3 (C) =
The above tells us that the sides of triangle ABC are of equal length, which means it is a regular triangle.
