Using Mathematical Functions with Vectors

vectorA

+

vectorB

Adds each vectorA element to the corresponding vectorB element;
returns a vector of the sums

vectorA

NvectorB

Subtracts each vectorB element from the corresponding vectorA
element; returns a vector of the differences

vector¹number

or

number¹vector

Returns a vector that is the product of a real or complex number times
each element in a real or complex vector

matrix¹vector

Returns a vector that is the product of each vector element times each
matrix

element; matrix column dimension and vector dimension must be

equal

vector

ànumber

Returns a vector that is the quotient of each real or complex vector
element divided by a real or complex number

Mvector

(negation) Changes the sign of each vector element

vectorA

==

vectorB

Returns

1

if every corresponding element comparison is true; returns

0

if any is false

vectorA

ƒvectorB

Returns

1

if at least one corresponding element comparison is false

round(

vector

[

,

#ofDecimals

]

)

Rounds each vector element to 12 digits, or rounds to specified
#ofDecimals

iPart

vector

Returns the integer part of each real or complex vector element

fPart

vector

Returns the fractional part of each real or complex vector element

int

vector

Returns the greatest integer of each real or complex vector element

To add or subtract two vectors,
the dimension of

vectorA

must

equal the dimension of

vectorB

.

You cannot multiply two
vectors or divide one vector
by another vector.

==

and

ƒ

are on the TEST

menu.

round

, iPart, fPart, and int

are on the MATH NUM menu.
