To use an
expression or
result from
Home view
When your are working in CAS, you can retrieve an expres-
sion or result from Home view by tapping
Z
and selecting
Get from Home. Home view opens. Press
=
or
\
until
the item you want to retrieve is highlighted and press
E
.
The highlighted item is copied to the cursor point in CAS.
To use a Home
variable in CAS
You can access Home variables from within the CAS. Home
variables are assigned uppercase letters; CAS variables are
assigned lowercase letters. Thus SIN(x) and SIN(X) will yield
different results.
To use a Home variable in the CAS, simply include its name
in a calculation. For example, suppose in Home view you
have assigned variable Q to 100. Suppose too that you have
assigned variable q to 1000 in the CAS. If you are in the CAS
and enter 5*q, the result is 5000. If you had entered 5*Q
instead, the result would have been 500.
In a similar way, CAS variables can be used in calculations
in Home view. Thus you can enter 5*q in Home view and get
5000, even though q is a CAS variable.
