DEG RAD GRAD NORM SCI ENG FLOR 0123456789 CLASSIC 013193319DEG RAD GRAD Sets the angle mode to degrees, radians, or gradians.
NORM SCI ENG Sets the numeric notation mode. Numeric notation modes affect only the display of results, and not the accuracy of the values stored in the unit, which remain maximal.
NORM displays results with digits to the left and right of the decimal, as in 123456.78.
SCI expresses numbers with one digit to the left of the decimal and the appropriate power of 10, as in 1.2345678 × 10^5 (which is the same as 123456.78).
Note: In some restricted environments (for example function table, data editor, and the 2nd [recall] menu), the TI-30XS MultiView ^TM calculator may display E instead of *10^n .
ENG displays results as a number from 1 to 999 times 10 to an integer power. The integer power is always a multiple of 3.
Note: ×10^n is a shortcut key to enter a number in scientific notation format. The result displays in the numeric notation format set in mode.
FLOAT 0123456789 Sets the decimal notation mode.
FLOAT (floating decimal point) displays up to 10 digits, plus the sign and decimal.
0123456789 (fixed decimal point) specifies the number of digits (0 through 9) to display to the right of the decimal.

Fractions





In the MathPrint™ mode, fractions with can include operation keys ( + , × , etc.) and most function keys ( x^2 , 2nd[%] , etc.).
In Classic mode, fractions with do not allow operation keys, functions, or complex fractions in the numerator or denominator.
Note: In Classic mode, data editor, and table, use ÷ to perform complex division problems.
Calculations using fractions can display fraction or decimal results, depending on input.
The TI-30XS MultiView™ calculator defaults output to improper fractions. Results are automatically simplified.
- enters a simple fraction. Pressing before or after a number can result in different behavior. Entering a number before pressing makes that number the numerator. To enter fractions with operators or radicals, press before you enter a number (in MathPrint™ mode only). In MathPrint mode, press between the entry of the numerator and the denominator.
In Classic mode, press between the entry of the numerator and the denominator.
- 2nd [U_d^n] enters a mixed number. Press 2nd [U_d^n] between the entry of the unit and the numerator.
- 2nd [ U_d^n] converts between mixed numbers and simple fraction form.
- 2nd [f ◀▶d] converts results between fractions and decimals.

Probability
prb
This key displays two menus: PRB and RAND.
PRB contains the following options:
| nPr Calculates | the number of possible permutations of n items taken r at a time, given n and r. The order of objects is important, as in a race. |
| nCr Calculates! | the number of possible combinations of n items taken r at a time, given n and r. The order of objects is not important, as in a hand of cards.A factorial is the product of the positive integers from 1 to n. n must be a positive whole number ≤ 69. |
RAND contains the following options:
rand Generates a random real number between 0 and 1. To control a sequence of random numbers, store an integer (seed value) ≥ 0 to rand. The seed value changes randomly every time a random number is generated.
randint( Generates a random integer between 2 integers, A and B, where A ≤ randint ≤ B . Separate the 2 integers with a comma.

Function table
table
The function table allows you to display a defined function in a tabular form. To set up a function table:
- Press table .
- Enter a function and press enter . Functions allow up to one level of fractions.
- Select the table start, table step, auto, or ask-x options and press enter.
The table is displayed using the specified values.
| Start Specified the | starting value for the independent variable, x. |
| Step Specified the | incremental value for the independent variable, x. The step can be positive or negative, but cannot be zero. |
| Auto The TI-30XS | MultiViewTM calculator automatically generates a series of values based on table start and table step. |
| Ask-x Lets you build | a table manually by entering specific values for the independent variable, x. |

Problem
Find the vertex of the parabola, y = x(36 - x) using a table of values.
Reminder: The vertex of the parabola is the point on the line of symmetry of the parabola.

![]() | |
| clear 15 ▼ clear 3 ▼ ▼ enter | Start=15Step=3HUTC As k-xOK |
| x=15 |
After searching close to x = 18, the point (18, 324) appears to be the vertex of the parabola since it appears to be the turning point of the set of points of this function. To search closer to x = 18, change the Step value to see points closer to (18, 324).

Problem
A charity collected \3,600 to help support a local food kitchen. \450 will be given to the food kitchen every month until the funds run out. How many months will the charity support the kitchen?
Reminder: If x = months and y = money left, then y = 3600 - 450x.
| table 3600 - 450 x_abc^yzt | ![]() |
![]() | ![]() |
| Input guesses enter |
The support of \$450 per month will last for 8 months since y(8) = 3600 - 450(8) = 0 as shown in the table of values.
