Upper-Tail Student’s t-Probability given degrees of
freedom, evaluated at value. Returns the probability that
the Student's t- random variable is greater than value.

UTPT(degrees, value)

Real-number functions

Some real-number functions can also take complex
arguments.

CEILING

Smallest integer greater than or equal to value.

CEILING(value)

Examples

CEILING(3.2) returns 4
CEILING(-3.2) returns -3

DEG

RAD

Degrees to radians. Converts value from Degrees angle
format to Radians angle format.

DEG→RAD(value)

Example

DEG→RAD(180) returns 3.14159265359, the
value of π.

FLOOR

Greatest integer less than or equal to value.

FLOOR(value)

Example

FLOOR(-3.2) returns -4

FNROOT

Function root-finder (like the Solve aplet). Finds the value
for the given variable at which expression most nearly
evaluates to zero. Uses guess as initial estimate.

FNROOT(expression, variable, guess)

Example

FNROOT(M*9.8/600-1,M,1) returns
61.2244897959.

FRAC

Fractional part.

FRAC(value)

Example

FRAC (23.2) returns .2
