Home screen
On the Home screen, you can enter mathematical expressions and functions, along with other instructions. The answers are displayed on the Home screen. The TI-30XS MultiView screen can display a maximum of four lines with a maximum of 16 characters per line. For entries and expressions of more than 16 characters, you can scroll left and right (◀ and ▶) to view the entire entry or expression.
When you press 2nd[quit], the TI-30XS MultiView calculator returns you to a blank Home screen. Press ⬆ and ⬇ to view and reuse previous entries. (See Previous Entries, page vii.)
In the MathPrint™ mode, you can enter up to four levels of consecutive nested functions and expressions, which include fractions, square roots, exponents with , , and 10^x .
When you calculate an entry on the Home screen, depending upon space, the answer is displayed either directly to the right of the entry or on the right side of the next line.
Display indicators
Refer to Appendix B for a list of the display indicators.
Order of operations
The TI-30XS MultiView uses the Equation Operating System (EOS™) to evaluate expressions. The operation priorities are listed on the transparency master in Chapter 4, Order of operations and parentheses.
Because operations inside parentheses are performed first, you can use ☐ to change the order of operations and, therefore, change the result.
Mode
Use mode to choose modes. Press ↙ ↙ ↙ to choose a mode, and enter to select it. Press clear or 2nd [quit] to return to the Home screen and perform your work using the chosen mode settings. Default settings are shown.

Classic mode displays inputs and outputs in a single line.
MathPrint mode displays most inputs and outputs in textbook format. Use MathPrint mode for better visual confirmation that math expressions have been entered correctly and to better reinforce the correct math notation.
Note: Switching the mode between Classic and MathPrint clears calculator history and the Constant value.
2nd functions
Pressing 2nd displays the 2nd indicator, and then accesses the function printed above the next key pressed. For example, 2nd [] 25 enter calculates the square root of 25 and returns the result, 5.
Menus
Certain keys display menus: prb, 2nd [angle], data, 2nd [stat], 2nd [reset], 2nd [recall], and 2nd [clear var]. Press ▶ or ⬇ to scroll and select a menu item, or press the corresponding number next to the menu item. To return to the previous screen without selecting the item, press clear. To exit a menu or application and return to the Home screen, press 2nd [quit].
Previous entries ▲ ↘
After an expression is evaluated, use ⬆ and ⬇ to scroll through previous entries, which are stored in the TI-30XS MultiView history. You can reuse a previous entry by pressing enter to paste it on the bottom line, and then editing and evaluating a new expression.
Answer toggle
The toggle key displays the last calculated result into different output formats, where possible. Press to toggle between fraction and decimal answers, exact square root and decimal, and exact pi and decimal.
Last answer (Ans)
The most recently calculated result is stored to the variable Ans. Ans is retained in memory, even after the TI-30XS MultiView is turned off. To recall the value of Ans:
- Press 2nd [ans] (Ans displays on the screen), or
- Press any operation key (⊕, -, and so forth) as the first part of an entry. Ans and the operator are both displayed.
Resetting the TI-30XS MultiView
Pressing on and clear simultaneously or pressing 2nd [reset] and then selecting 2 (Yes) resets the calculator.
Resetting the calculator:
- Returns settings to their defaults — standard notation (floating decimal) and degree (DEG) mode.
- Clears memory variables, pending operations, entries in history, statistical data, constants, and Ans (Last answer).
Note: The examples on the transparency masters assume all default settings.
Automatic Power Down™ (APD™)
If the TI-30XS MultiView remains inactive for about 5 minutes, the APD feature turns it off automatically. Press on to restore power. The display, pending operations, settings, and memory are retained.

Activity
Present the following problem to students:
You are a captain of a starship in the distant future. You have been assigned to go to Alpha Centauri and you have 5 years to get there. The distance from our sun to Alpha Centauri is 2.5 × 10^13 miles. The distance from the earth to our sun is approximately 9.3 × 10^7 miles.
Although we have not yet discovered how to travel at the speed of light, you live in a time where your ship can travel at the speed of light.
Light travels the approximate distance of 6 × 10^12 miles in 1 light year. You will take a path from earth by our sun and then on to Alpha Centauri. Will you be able to get to Alpha Centauri on time?
Procedure
- Using the TI-30XS MultiView ^™ calculator, find the total distance you need to travel.
$$ 2. 5 \times 1 0 ^ {1 3} + 9. 3 \times 1 0 ^ {7} = 2. 5 0 0 0 0 9 3 \times 1 0 ^ {1 3} \text { miles } $$
- Next, find out how long it will take you to travel the distance. (Distance traveled ÷ 1 light year)
$$ \frac {2 . 5 0 0 0 0 9 3 \times 1 0 ^ {- 1 3}}{6 \times 1 0 ^ {1 2}} = 4. 1 6 6 6 8 2 1 6 7 2 \text { years } $$
- Can you make the trip in the allotted time of 5 years?
Yes, if your ship really could travel at the speed of light.
Extension
Light travels at 186,000 miles per second. A light year is the distance that light can travel in a year. Have students convert one light year to miles traveled per light year.
$$ \frac {1 8 6 , 0 0 0 \text { miles }}{1 \sec} \times \frac {6 0 \sec}{1 \min} \times \frac {6 0 \min}{1 \mathrm{hr}} \times \frac {2 4 \mathrm{hrs}}{1 \mathrm{day}} \times \frac {3 6 5 \text { days }}{1 \text { year }} \approx \frac {5 . 8 7 \times 1 0 ^ {1 2} \text { miles }}{1 \text { year }} $$
We approximate this value using 6 × 10^12 miles in 1 light year in this activity.
Answer to student extension: It will take the starship approximately 15 years to get to Delta Centauri.
Hint: Make sure the TI-30XS MultiView calculator is in MathPrint™ mode to work this problem.

Hint: The Earth is approximately 9.3 × 10^7 miles from the Sun.
Follow these steps:
- Press 2.5 ×10 ^n 13 ▶ + 9.3 ×10 ^n 7 enter .
2.5000093*10 ^13
- Press 2nd [ans] 6 ×10 ^n 12 enter .
4.166682167
Depending on the problem, remind students to include parentheses where needed to ensure the intended order of operations. Example: (2.5000093 × 10^13) ÷ (6 × 10^12) must include the parentheses in order to get the correct result.
Students can learn more about this topic by visiting NASA web sites on the Internet.

Problem
You are a captain of a starship in the distant future. You have been assigned to go to Alpha Centauri and you have 5 years to get there. The distance from our sun to Alpha Centauri is 2.5 × 10^13 miles. The distance from the earth to our sun is approximately 9.3 × 10^7 miles.
Although we have not yet discovered how to travel at the speed of light, you live in a time where your ship can travel at the speed of light.
Light travels the approximate distance of 6 × 10^12 miles in 1 light year. You will take a path from earth by our sun and then on to Alpha Centauri. Will you be able to get to Alpha Centauri on time?
Procedure
- Using the TI-30XS MultiView™ calculator, find the total distance that you need to travel. For this rough estimate, assume that you are measuring the distance as a straight line from the earth to our sun and then on to Alpha Centauri.
Hint: Make sure your calculator is in scientific notation mode before you begin the calculation.
Next, find out how long it will take you to travel the distance.
(Distance traveled ÷ 1 light year)
Hint: Make sure you use parentheses if needed in order to get the correct result for this division problem.
- Can you make the trip in the allotted time of 5 years?
Extension
Now that you have been successful, you have been asked to make another trip. The distance from the Sun to Delta Centauri is 9 × 10^13 miles. How long will it take you to get there from Earth?
Hint: The Earth is approximately 9.3 × 10^7 miles from the Sun.
Your trip on this starship is fictitious. If you are interested in finding out more about the nearest star and cosmic distances, visit NASA web sites on the Internet.

Overview
Students use the data editor and statistics function of the TI-30XS MultiView™ calculator to investigate the effect of exercise on heart rate.
Math Concepts
• mean, minimum, maximum, and range
Materials
• TI-30XS MultiView
- stopwatch or a watch with a second hand
- student activity
Introduction
Students may be placed in smaller groups for this activity to minimize the amount of data to be entered. Ask students:
• What do you think the average heart rate is for someone your age?
• What about after exercising?
Activity
Have students complete the following investigation to check their estimations.
- Have students check their resting heart rate by timing their pulse for 1 minute. (You could have them time for 10 seconds and then multiply by 6, but this could be the quietest minute of your day!)
- Collect data on the chart. Enter each student's heart rate and a mark in the frequency column. As other students have the same heart rate, add another tally mark in the frequency column.
- Enter the heart rate data into the TI-30XS MultiView scientific calculator.
a. Enter the first heart rate on the chart in L1, and the number of tallies for that heart rate in L2. You will use L2 as the frequency.
b. You must press ⬤ between entries. For example, enter the first heart rate, and then press ⬤.
c. For example, assume a class of 22 students:
Rate Students Rate Students
| 6 | 0 | 3 | 6 | 3 |
| 6 | 1 | 5 | 6 | 4 |
| 6 | 2 | 6 | 6 | 5 |

Follow these steps:
-
Press data to enter the heart rates and frequencies. Enter the heart rates in L1 and the frequencies in
L2. Press ⬇ between entries, and ⬇ to get from L1 to L2. -
Continue entering until you have entered all the heart rates and frequencies.
-
Press 2nd [stat].
-
Press 1 to choose 1-var stats.
-
Choose L1 for the data, and L2 for the frequency.
-
Press ▼ enter to view the data.
-
Check the statistics calculations. After students display _x (Sigma x), explain that _x is the sum of all the heart rates. Ask students:
-
How many heartbeats were entered from all of the student in one minute? This is _x .
- How many students were entered? This is m.
- How can we calculate the average heart rate? This is . xn 62.27272727=
-
Is the average heart rate higher or lower than you expected?
-
Now we will see the effect of some exercise on heart rate. To accommodate various student's needs, pair students with other students who will be able to complete the task. Also consider designing some task that an individual student can safely undertake to raise their heart rate. Tell students:
If at any point during this portion of the activity you experience pain, weakness, or shortness of breath, stop immediately.
- Have the students run in place for 2 minutes and then give them these instructions:
a. Time your pulse for 1 minute.
b. Record your heart rate as before.
c. Enter the data into the calculator.
d. Compare the average heart rate after running with the resting heart rate.
-
Now have the students do jumping jacks for 2 minutes. Instruct them to time their pulse for 1 minute again and record as before. Have them enter the data into the calculator again and calculate the average heart rate after jumping jacks. Compare to the other 2 averages.
-
Instruct students to make a bar graph of the 3 sets of data they collected. Ask students:
• How are the bar graphs the same?
• How are they different?
- Is the data grouped the same, or is it more spread out in one graph compared to another?
Follow these steps:
-
View the statistical data.
n should equal the total number of students sampled. For this example, n = 22. -
Press ⬇ to to see the average heart rate.
= 62.27272727 -
Press until you see x .
±b = 1370
Note: The numbers show the results for the example described in this activity. Your students' results will vary depending on the size of the group and the heart rate readings.

Introduction
The warm up question is given to help you launch the student sheet activity. You can skip the warm up activity but you will have to provide more guidance during the investigation of the problem on the student sheet.
Warm up
Guide students in the use of tables and data to see a pattern and write a generalization. Present the following story problem.
Every Wednesday, Keisha gets home from work too late to walk her dog, Max. She asked her neighbor Kyle to walk her dog after he comes home from school. Kyle is happy to help! Keisha pays Kyle \$4 each week to walk Max. Kyle likes to save his money. Create a table of how much money Kyle has each week for 5 weeks.
Guide students to create the following table on their papers. You can think of this table as a data list of two numbers which depend on each other. It is important to have students write their calculation and outcome in the Money (output) column in order to see any patterns. This helps them to write algebraic sentences from the words and to make generalizations using inductive reasoning.
Use these columns for different learning styles if needed.
| Week | Money Repeated |
| 1 | 1 x |
| 2 2x4=8 | |
| 3 | 3x4=12 |
| 4 | 4x4=16 |
| 5 | 5x4=20 |
| addition Adding on | |
| 4 = 4 | 4 |
| 4+4=8 4+4=8 | |
| 4+4+4=12 | 8+4=12 |
| 4+4+4+4=16 | 12+4=16 |
| 4+4+4+4+4=20 | 16+4=20 |
4 4 = 4
Point out that the Money column looks like the multiplication table for the number 4. This connects them back to something familiar. Remind the students that they know that Kyle earns \$4 per week. This is the rate of Kyle's savings and it can be written in fractional form as
$$ \text { rate } = \frac {\$ 4}{1 \text { week }} $$
Ask the students to fill in more of the table describing how much Kyle will save. Have them fill in the table for weeks 6 and 7, and then ask if they can determine the amount of money for 10 weeks, 25 weeks, and 100 weeks. Finally, ask them if they could fill in the amount of money after some number of weeks. Call the unknown number of weeks a variable and use the letter W to represent weeks. Use the variable M to represent money.
| Week (W) | Money (M) | |
| 1 | 1 | x |
| 2 | 2 | x |
| 3 | 3 | x |
| 4 | 4 | x |
| 5 | 5 | x |
| 6 | 6 | x |
| 7 | 7 | x |
| 10 10x4=40 | ||
| 25 25x4=100 | ||
| W | W | x |
All of this investigation should be done without the calculator for these basic multiplication facts. If students need support with their multiplication, encourage looking up facts in a chart rather than using the calculator, to promote mental math and appropriate calculator use.
Ask students to write the expression for the calculation using W, x, and 4.*
(Answer: W x 4)
| 4 | = | 4 |
| 4 | = | 8 |
| 4 | = | 1 |
| 4 | = | 1 |
| 4 | = | 2 |
| 4 | = | 2 |
| 4 | = | 2 |
4 *
Ask the students the following:
"If you calculate W weeks times \$4, you get a number. What does that number mean to Kyle?" You are prompting the student to say Money (M) and lead them into writing the formula or sentence in two variables, M = W x 4. Typically, you write the number and then the letter with implied multiplication. Remind students that multiplication is commutative so M = W x 4 = 4 x W = 4W.
Support the investigation using the data editor (data) on the TI-30XS MultiView™ calculator by having the students look at many values of their algebraic expression to see if they match the table they created.
- Have students enter their table into the data list.
Notice there are three lists available: L1, L2, and L3.
Discuss that they will enter the Week (W) values in L1. - Have the students enter the first three values of W from their table, 1, 2, 3 .
- Enter a formula to validate the work: L2 = 4 x L1. Notice that W = L1 and M = L2.
- Add input to L1 to see L2 update automatically with the output value of the formula. Scroll to an open entry space in L1. Ask them to check their table for 4 weeks and then 100 weeks.
Before starting the group investigation on the student sheet, have the students clear the data in the lists.
(Continued)
Remind students that for this activity they are using the features in data and not table.
If students are not familiar with the TI-30XS MultiView calculator, have them turn on the calculator and press mode.
Make sure all students have their calculator mode set as shown:

To return to the Home screen, press clear.

- Edit the formula, if desired, and press enter to set the formula again.
- To clear data, press data 4.
Hint: Remember that pressing 2nd[quit] takes you back to the Home screen.
The students now have taken data from words to a table of values, to a pattern they can view, to writing an algebraic expression. The next step is to show them a view of how the number pattern plots on a graph. What is the shape of M = 4W? Have students plot the first 4 points in the table. Notice the points fall on a straight line. You can mention that they can describe the increase of Money (M) as "for every 1 week (W) Kyle works, his amount of money (M) increases by \$4." This is an obvious statement but sets the foundation for talking about rates and how they affect the tilt of a line (slope).
The number of weeks and amount of money are both positive so the graph makes sense in the first quadrant. Have your students use graph paper to make the graphs of their data.
Activity
Students repeat a similar investigation in groups looking at patterns to write algebraic expressions and sentences. They also create a graph of the values in the table. Have students read the problem on the student sheet before breaking up into groups so they understand their task.
Students fill in the table using mental math. They write all calculations to help them see the formula. They are encouraged to use mental math as much as they can before using the calculator to find the results for the amount of money.

Students should write the algebraic equation from the pattern showing in their table: M = P x 11.50 or using implicit multiplication, M = 11.50 P.
Students check their formula using the data editor (data) on the TI-30XS MultiView™ calculator, as in the warm up example.
- Have the students check to see how the calculator is set up.
- Enter the first three values in L1 {1, 2, 3}.
- Translate your formula to the calculator formula and enter the formula into L2.
Your formula: M = ____
The calculator formula: L2 = ____
- Enter more values into L1 to check the table of values and the formula. This activity validates the formula for several values.
- Enter 7500 in L1 to find the amount of money in L2. Write the math as M = 11.50 x 7500 = \$86,250.
- Create a report by filling in a table of values and a graph. Write a paragraph describing the work for the presentation.
Answers in the paragraph will vary. Make sure that the students explain the table, graph, and algebraic sentence (formula) in the paragraph.

The reporter also mentions that the local theater, MultiPlex, has twenty-five screens and can seat 7,500 people. This blockbuster will open on all screens at the theater. The owners predict that all seats will be sold out on the first day!
The owners of MultiPlex want to know how much money they can expect to take in at the ticket office. They would like a general formula so they can quickly find out the amount of money for any amount of people that buy tickets.
Your job: You have been hired as the accountant for MultiPlex! Congratulations! Your boss wants a formula that will tell her how much money will be taken in at the box office, depending on how many people buy tickets.
Procedure
- Use the table to investigate the amount of money taken in at the ticket office depending on the number of people going to the movie. Fill in the following table. Write all of your calculations at each step. Use mental math as much as you can before using the calculator to find the results for the amount of money.

Name that rule!
Overview
Students guess the algebraic expression (function) from a table of values in a game format. Students use table on the TI-30XS MultiView™ calculator to enter an expression as a function (y=) in order to play the game.
Math Concepts
- algebra expressions
- functions
Materials
- 61-30XS MultiView
- pencil
- student activity
• strips of paper and paper bag
Introduction
Students will warm up for this activity by evaluating expressions and filling out a table of values. They then play a game, "Name that rule!" The game uses the TI-30XS MultiView calculator to create a table of values.
Have students fill out the following tables which appear on the student sheet.
Note Not consider varying the variable letter in the warm up. The variable on the calculator, however, will always be x.
| x | x+3 |
| -21 | -222 |
| -12 | -144 |
| 0 | 3 |
| 1 | 4 |
| 2 | 5 |
| x | 2x+6 2( x+3)* | |
| 0 | 6 | |
| 1 | 8 | |
| 2 | 10 10 | |
*The students should notice that the tables for 2x + 6 and 2(x + 3) are the same. Discuss why these are equivalent expressions and verify this by using the Distributive Property of Multiplication over Addition. You can also have students use tiles to display the area model, 2(x + 3) = 2x + 6 .

text_image
2 { x 1 x+3Show the students how to enter the expression in table on the TI-30XS MultiView. They enter the expression as a function. This may be a new concept for your students. If needed, use a function machine
to provide an alternate way of thinking about evaluating an expression for different values of x. Here, an input of x = 1 gives an output of y = 1 + 3 = 4 . Discuss that the expression, x + 3 , can be thought of as the rule to find y. Later in the game, the students will think backwards to guess the "rule." If needed, discuss how students follow the rules to their favorite board games. They need to follow the rules in order to play. When they evaluate an expression, they follow a rule to change one number to another.

text_image
x = 1 y = x + 3 y = 1 + 3 = 4Set up the table on the calculator using the Auto feature in table. Auto automatically sets up a table of values to start at a given value and increment by a value. To have the calculator create the same table of values as above, set start at -2 and increment the x values by the step size of 1. Have students compare their table done by hand against the calculator table.
Activity
Play one or two games of "Name that rule!" with the whole class, using the rules on the next page. For the whole class introduction of the game, the teacher plays the role of the Ruler. This game uses table and the Ask-x feature on the TI-30XS MultiView™ calculator.
Follow these steps:
- Press mode and set mode as shown.

- Enter the expression y=x+3 :

- Enter table setup values: (-) 2

- Use and to scroll through values of x and y = x + 3 .
Hint: Copy the game sheets from the student activity section for as many games as needed.
Rules for group play
- Form groups of three to four students.
- Assign one student to be the Ruler of the game.
- The Ruler is in charge of the calculator for the game.
- The Ruler picks an algebraic expression from a paper bag (or any container) and keeps it hidden from the other players, or the Ruler writes an algebraic expression on a piece of paper for the game and gets approval to use the expression from the teacher.
- The Ruler enters the algebraic expression into table and selects the Ask- x feature. NoteNBhe Ruler may have to delete each line in the Ask- x table before playing a new rule. (See keystroke instructions.)
• Each player other than the Ruler takes turns saying a value for x. The Ruler enters that value and tells the players the y value output.
• Each player keeps a table of values as a record of play.
- A player can guess the expression or rule only during the player's turn.
- Once a rule is guessed by a player, every player must check if the rule is true for all values already played, or challenge the rule by trying to find a value that does not work.
- If the guessed rule is shown to be incorrect by a player or the Ruler, the player who guessed the rule loses his or her next turn.
- If the algebraic expression guessed by a player is not in the same form as the expression entered by the Ruler, for example, 2(x + 1) and 2x + 2 , and all players agree that the guessed expression is correct, the Ruler reveals the expression on the calculator and the player who guessed the rule must explain why the two expressions are the same.
- The first player to guess the rule correctly and defend their rule wins.
- The role of Ruler then rotates to another player for the next round of play.
Follow these steps:
- Press mode and set mode as shown.

- Enter the function y = 2x + 5 :
clear table 2 x_abc^yzt + 5 enter
Note: If a function is already entered on the y= screen, press clear before entering a new function.
- Enter table setup values: ◀ ◀ ⬇
enter ▼ enter
- Enter x-values: 5 enter 6 enter 10
enter
Hint: To enter more values, highlight any of the three lines in the x column, enter the number, and press enter.
- To review the y= screen, press table. You will have to cycle through the setup screen again to see the table of values.
To play again:
-
Clear the old expression, pick the next expression, and enter it: table clear x_abc^yst + n d 1 ◼ 2.
-
Enter the desired table setup values, highlight OK, and press enter.
Notice that only 3 guesses show on the screen. Students can overwrite a number to see a new output.
Algebraic expression list
Copy these or other expressions on pieces of paper so the Ruler of each team of players can pick the expression to play. You can also have the Ruler write an expression which you can approve before the start of a game. Having the student write an expression gives them ownership and is an assessment of their knowledge.
Pick a list or mix the lists depending on the level of your students. Expand the lists depending on your students' level. Students should document all work on their student sheet.
Examples of one-step expressions
$$ x + 3 2 $$
$$ x - 9 \cdot 4 $$
$$ x \frac {1}{2} + $$
$$ x - 2. 5 $$
$$ x + 1 5 1. 5 $$
$$ x - \frac {1}{5} $$
Examples of two-step expressions
$$ x + 3 $$
$$ x + 5 $$
$$ 2 x + 6 \text { or } 2 (x + 3) $$
$$ \frac {1}{2} x 4 - $$
$$ x + 2. 5 $$
Modifications of the game
- Include expressions that would need to be simplified by the players such as 2x + 4 + 3x - 6 . If a player guesses 5x - 2 , they will have to justify the expression is equivalent to 2x + 4 + 3x - 6 which adds another assessment layer to the game.
- Include expressions in words such as "four less than twice a number." Have the Rulers pick the expression from the container and change the words to an expression for your approval before they return to their group to play the game.
Example: Four less than twice a number is picked. The Ruler translates this to 2x - 4, you indicate if they are correct, and then they return to their group to play.
Problem
We follow rules every day. Can you follow the rules to your favorite board game? Do you have to carefully follow the rules to play? We also follow rules when we work with numbers and expressions.
Example: If x = 1 , then x + 3 = 1 + 3 = 4

text_image
x = 1 y = x + 3 y = 1 + 3 = 4The expression x + 3 has one variable, x. Depending on the value of x, x + 3 will be equal to different numbers. You can think of x + 3 as a rule. Fill out the following table to warm up. The values of x have been picked for you.
| x | x+3 |
| -2-2 | -2 |
| -1-1 | -1 |
| 0 | |
| 1 | |
| 2 |
| x | 2x+6 |
| 0 | |
| 1 | |
| 2 |
| x | 2(x+3) |
| 0 | |
| 1 | |

- The decimal mode setting affects most decimal results and the mantissa of scientific and engineering notation results.
- The TI-30XS MultiView™ calculator automatically rounds the result to the number of decimal places selected. For example, when the decimal is set to 2 places, 0.147 becomes 0.15 when you press enter. The TI-30XS MultiView calculator also rounds or pads resulting values with trailing zeros to fit the selected setting. For example, when the decimal is set to 5 places, 0.147 becomes 0.14700 when you press enter.
- Resetting the calculator clears the decimal setting and resets to the default, FLOAT.
- The decimal setting does not affect the internal precision of results. It affects only the way results are displayed.

- The examples on the transparency masters assume all default settings.
- A combination is an arrangement of objects in which the order is not important, as in a hand of cards.
- A permutation is an arrangement of objects in which the order is important, as in a race.
- A factorial is the product of all the positive integers from 1 to n , where n is a positive whole number ≤ 69 .
- You can store (sto) an integer to Rand just as you would store values to memory variables. If you wish to control the random numbers generated by all calculators in your class, have all students store the same number to Rand; the sequence of random numbers is then the same on all of the calculators.
- For Randint, use a comma to separate the numbers that you specify.

You can also convert between rectangular coordinate form (R) and polar coordinate form (P). (See Chapter 18, Polar and rectangular conversions, for more information.)
Choose an angle mode from the mode screen. You can choose from DEG (default), RAD, or GRAD. Entries are interpreted and results displayed according to the angle mode setting without the need to enter an angle unit modifier.
If you specify an angle unit modifier from the Angle menu, the calculation is performed in that angle type, but the result will be given in the angle mode setting.
