Using mathematical functions

13-7

TAYLOR

Calculates the nth order Taylor polynomial of expression
at the point where the given variable = 0.

TAYLOR (expression, variable, n)

Example

TAYLOR(1 + sin(s1)

2

,s1,5)with Radians

angle measure and Fraction number format (set in
MODES) returns

1+s1^2-1/3*s1^4.

Complex number functions

These functions are for complex numbers only. You can
also use complex numbers with all trigonometric and
hyperbolic functions, and with some real-number and
keyboard functions. Enter complex numbers in the form
(x,y), where x is the real part and y is the imaginary part.

ARG

Argument. Finds the angle defined by a complex number.
Inputs and outputs use the current angle format set in
Modes.

ARG((x, y))

Example

ARG((3,3)) returns 45 (Degrees mode)

CONJ

Complex conjugate. Conjugation is the negation (sign
reversal) of the imaginary part of a complex number.

CONJ((x, y))

Example

CONJ((3,4)) returns (3,-4)

IM

Imaginary part, y, of a complex number, (x, y).

IM ((x, y))

Example

IM((3,4)) returns 4

RE

Real part x, of a complex number, (x, y).

RE((x, y))

Example

RE((3,4)) returns 3
