Creating a Complex Vector
If any element of a vector is complex, all elements of the vector are displayed as complex.
For example, when you enter the vector
г 1,2,(3,1) д , the TI -86 displays г (1,0) (2,0) (3,1) д .
To create a complex vector from two real vectors, the syntax is:
realVector +(0,1) imaginaryVector ¶ complexVectorName
realVector contains the real part of each element and imaginaryVector contains the
imaginary part.
Displaying a Vector
To display a vector, paste the vector name to the home screen, and then press b.
To display a specific element of vectorName on the home screen or in a program, the syntax is:
vectorName ( element# )
Real two- and three-element vector results are displayed according to the current vector
mode setting:
RectV , CylV , or SphereV (Chapter 1). You can select a vector conversion
instruction from the VECTR OPS menu to override the mode setting (page 173).
Complex vectors are displayed in rectangular form only.
