The Texas Instrument's TI 30x iis scientific calculator is a nice item to have in any emergency or just for everyday use. It has many features, including a scientific and engineering mode. As well as a square root feature and many other functions, this calculator is good to have for the price. They're durable and reliable. They'll last for many years.

Well said. I like you username, BTW.

Great video. I've been using my TI-30XIIS for years, and I love its intuitive key and function layout. But there is one very important caveat, concerning negative number entry: If you enter, say "1 + -5^2" it will give "-24" (not the correct "26"). The calculator recognizes the "5^2" but does not apply the negative sign until the end! BEWARE OF THIS, because the TI-30 does this with all exponential functions performed on negative numbers that are entered "live". To work around this, you need to enter "-5" FIRST, and press "=", and only THEN continue with "1 + ANS^2". Alternately, you could add parentheses: "1 + (-5)^2" also gives the correct answer. It's a minor issue, but it can really mess with your head, (and your answers!), in entering quadratic equations, if you aren't aware of it. Many calculators make you enter a number first, BEFORE pressing a "+/-" key, and then its negative status is immediately applied. This works better, I think, so I hope the good folks at TI are listening.

Жыл бұрын

Isn't there a difference between -5^2 and (-5)^2 in the first place? -5^2 is when you do 5*5, then apply the negative sign in front to get -25. (-5)^2 is when you do -5*-5, which gives you 25.

Excellent explanation! Thank you!

Tutor Terrific, what are the commas for and what do they do? Whenever I use them for something like "1,000,000 + 1,000" I get "SYNTAX Error." What are they for and what is the correct way to use them?

@TutorTerrific

Do not use the commas when entering large numbers. Enter those numbers without the commas that you would use if you were writing them on paper. For example, enter 1 million as 1000000. The commas are used in the statistics features of the calculator, as far as I know.

To input fractions on this little calculator, you have to do it and old-fashioned way. There’s no special math type view, so fractions have to be input like this: (numerator/denimonator). So, for example, you need to write (2/5) to input “two fifths”. If either your numerator, denominator, or both have multiple numbers added or multiplied together, you need to put in each in a separate set of parentheses so as not confuse order of operations on the calculator. For example (3/(2x5)) would calculate “three divided by two and 5 multiplied together”
