Example 2: To use the line input mode to input the same expression as in Example 1

(2 + (2 (2) / ( (2) + 1))^2)

1. Tap the [Math1] tab and then enter the line input mode (light blue

key).

2. Perform the key operation below:

2+

(d2!2)N

(

!2)+1)ewE

Example 3: To use the template input mode to input

1. Tap the [Math2] tab and then enter the template input mode (white

L key).

2. Perform the key operation below:

Oxe1f10exE

Example 4: To use the template input mode to input

1. Tap the [Math2] tab and then enter the template input mode (white

L key).

2. Perform the key operation below:

7(1-xm2e)Qxeex

3. Tap the upper right input box of

∫ and then press 1. Next, tap the lower

right input box of

∫ and then press 0.

4. To execute the calculation, press E.

Tip:

For information about the contents and input formats of the functions in Example 3 and Example 4, see “2-7 Using

the Action Menu” (page 59).

k Using Single-character Variables

As its name suggests, a single-character variable is a variable name that consists of a single character like

a

” or “

x

”. Input of single-character variable names is subject to different rules than input of a series of multiple

characters (like “abc”).

u To input a single-character variable name

Any character you input using any one of the following techniques is always treated as a single-character
variable.

• Tapping any key in the [Var] (variable) key set (page 16)

• Tapping the

X, Y, or Z key of the [Number] key set

• Tapping the

[ key of the [Math2] key set

• Pressing the x, y, or Z keypad key

If you use the above key operations to input a series of characters, each one is treated as a single-character
variable. Inputting

A, B, C using the [Var] key set, for example, is treated as the mathematical expression

a

×

b

×

c

, and not as the characters “abc”.

Tip:

The single-character variables described above make it possible for you to perform calculations as they appear in

your textbook.
