3. Press e to obtain the result.
Follow the same procedure as above,
but press t instead of ; in
step 1.
You will get the same result.
Using simulation calculations (ALGB)
If you want to find more than one solution using the same formula or
algebraic equation, you can do this quickly and simply by use of the
simulation calculation.
Example
Find the volume of two cones:
1 with height 10 and radius 8 and
2 with height 8 and radius 9.
1. Press j 1 k 3 @ s
; R A ; H to enter the
formula.
• Note that ‘1 3’ represents 1 over (i.e.
divided by) 3.
• Variables can be represented only by
capital letters.
2. Press @ G (I key) to finish
entering the equation.
• The calculator automatically picks out
the variables alphabetically contained in
the equation in alphabetical order and
asks you to input numbers for them.
• at the bottom of the display reminds you that there is another
variable further on in the expression.
3. Press 10 e to input the height and
go on the next variable.
• The calculator is now asking you to
input a number for the next variable.
