Example 1
Solve equation 
Taking logs of both sides;
To find the value of a, the keystrokes are:
The display should read 4.3219281.
So, . Confirm this by using the  key.
Example 2
Given , find the value of y
The  key is above the log key. Hence the keystrokes are:
The display should read 38.370725
Example 3 (harder)
Given , find the value of x
To  f i n d  l o g  x, the calculator keystrokes are:
The display should read 0.5187675.
2a20=
log 2 log 20...

Since this is the value of log x, you still need to find x where 
Without removing the answer of 0.5187675 on your display, press:
Your display should now read 3.3019272
Note: You could use the ‘ln’ key instead of the ‘log’ key – the answer would still be the same.

Example 1
Suppose that you have a trigonometric problem where the angle involved is given in degrees 
and minutes. e.g. Find x where 
’
The keystrokes involved are:
The display should show 1.728343, so x is approximately 1.73
Example 2
If you wish to convert an angle in degrees to its equivalent in degrees, minutes and seconds:
e.g. 34.88°, the keystrokes are:
The display should read 34°52°48

Calculator solutions
1.
(i) (5 + 4) × 3= 27
Make sure your calculation is in comp mode.
(ii) 12.5 – 8 ÷ 0.5 = -3.5
(iii)= 2.5
Either (3 × 6 – 8) ÷ 4 =, or 3 × 6 – 8 = ÷ 4 =
(iv)= 1.007874
Either 12.8 ÷ (16.5 – 3.8) =, or 16.5 – 3.8 = x-1 × 12.8 =
(v)= 0.9
Either ... ÷ ((4 + 7) × 2) = or ... ÷ (4 + 7) ÷ 2 =
(vi)= 3.2
Either 2.4 ÷ (3 ÷ 4) =, or 2.4 ÷ 3 ab/c 4 = 
(vii)= 9.296..
Either 145.6 – 17.2x2 ÷ 5 = √ =, or √ (145.6 – 17.2x2 ÷ 5) =
