Three trigonometric functions are readily available in the keyboard:
sine (

S), cosine (T), and tangent (U). Arguments of these

functions are angles in either degrees, radians, grades. The
following examples use angles in degrees (DEG):

In ALG mode:

S30`

T45`

U135`


In RPN mode:

30S

45T

135U

The inverse trigonometric functions available in the keyboard are the
arcsine (

„¼), arccosine („¾), and arctangent („À).

The answer from these functions will be given in the selected angular
measure (DEG, RAD, GRD). Some examples are shown next:

In ALG mode:

„¼0.25`

„¾0.85`

„À1.35`


In RPN mode:

0.25„¼

0.85„¾

1.35„À


All the functions described above, namely, ABS, ABS, SQ,

, ^, XROOT,

LOG, ALOG, LN, EXP, SIN, COS, TAN, ASIN, ACOS, ATAN, can be
combined with the fundamental operations (

+-*/) to form more

complex expressions. The Equation Writer, whose operations is described in
Chapter 2, is ideal for building such expressions, regardless of the calculator
operation mode.
