1. Position your cursor where you want the constant inserted.
2. Press [ 2nd ] [ CONST ] to display the physics constants menu.
3. Scroll through the menu until the constant you want is underlined.
4. Press

[

Multi-statement functions

Multi-statement functions are formed by connecting a number of individual
statements for sequential execution. You can use multi-statements in manual
calculations and in the program calculations.
When execution reaches the end of a statement that is followed by the
display result command symbol ( ), execution stops and the result up to
that point appears on the display. You can resume execution by pressing
[

]. See Example 35.

Built-in Function Graphs

You can produce graphs of the following functions: sin, cos, tan, sin

-1

, cos

-1

,

tan

-1

, sinh, cosh, tanh, sinh

-1

, cosh

-1

, tanh

-1

, x

, log, ln, 10

, e

, x

.

When you generate a built-in graph, any previously generated graph is
cleared. The display range is automatically set to the optimum. See Example
36.

User-generated Graphs

You can also specify your own single-variable functions to graph (for
example, y = x

3

+ 3x

2

– 6x – 8). Unlike built-in functions (see above), you

must set the display range when creating a user generated graph.

Press the [ Range ] key to access the
range parameters for each axis:
minimum value, maximum value, and
scale (that is, the distance between
the tick marks along an axis).
