Finally, in order to select, for example, the hyperbolic tangent (tanh) function,
simply press

@@TANH@.


Note: To see additional options in these soft menus, press the

L key or

the

„«keystroke sequence.

For example, to calculate tanh(2.5), in the ALG mode, when using SOFT
menus
over CHOOSE boxes, follow this procedure:

„´@@HYP@ @@TANH@ 2.5`

In RPN mode, the same value is calculated using:

2.5`„´)@@HYP@ @@TANH@

As an exercise of applications of hyperbolic functions, verify the following
values:

sinh (2.5) = 6.05020..

sinh

-1

(2.0) = 1.4436…

cosh (2.5) = 6.13228..

acosh

(2.0) = 1.3169…

tanh (2.5) = 0.98661..

tanh

(0.2) = 0.2027…

expm(2.0) = 6.38905….

lnp1(1.0) = 0.69314….


Operations with units

Numbers in the calculator can have units associated with them. Thus, it is
possible to calculate results involving a consistent system of units and produce
a result with the appropriate combination of units.

The UNITS menu

The units menu is launched by the keystroke combination

‚Û(associated

with the

6 key). With system flag 117 set to CHOOSE boxes, the result is

the following menu:
