• Internal calculations are performed using a 15-digit mantissa, but results are displayed using
a 10-digit mantissa and a 2-digit exponent.
• Simultaneous linear equations are solved by inverting the matrix containing the coefficients
of the equations. For example, the following shows the solution ( x
, y , z ) of a simultaneous
linear equation with three unknowns.
Because of this, precision is reduced as the value of the determinant approaches zero. Also,
simultaneous equations with three or more unknowns may take a very long time to solve.
• An error occurs if the calculator is unable to find a solution.
• After calculation is complete, you can press 1(REPT), change coefficient values, and then
re-calculate.
2. High-order Equations from 2nd to 6th Degree
Your calculator can be used to solve high-order equations from 2nd to 6th degree.
• Quadratic Equation:

1. From the Main Menu, enter the EQUA mode.
2. Select the POLY (Polynomial) mode, and specify the degree of the equation.
You can specify a degree 2 to 6.
3. Sequentially input the coefficients.
• The cell that is currently selected for input is highlighted. Each time you input a coefficient,
the highlighting shifts in the sequence:
a → b → c → …
• You can also input fractions and values assigned to variables as coefficients.
• You can cancel the value you are inputting for the current coefficient by pressing J at
any time before you press w to store the coefficient value. This returns to the coefficient
to what it was before you input anything. You can then input another value if you want.
