Formula Programs

• Cube, Cylla, Pyramid, Trig
• These programs do not actually do anything, they
  are used as references.
• Access them by going to edit for that program.
• Be sure to use quit to go back to your home
  screen, clear will erase lines of the program.

4
Programs with their own Menus

• F2k, Math
• These have several functions within a single
  program.
• You must choose from the menu which functions you
  wish to perform, then you must follow the
  directions correctly for each function

  2. a leg)
• special tri (1. 30-60-90 2. 45-45-90)

16
Dist

• finds the distance between two points
• gives the formula used
• tells the square root taken to find the distance
  in case the answer is needed in radical form

17
Line

• gives the formula for point-slope form
• the user inputs a point and the slope
• the program writes an equation in slope-intercept
  form

18
Log

• user inputs the of number (fatty) and the base
• program gives the answer

19
Midpoint

• user gives two coordinates
• program gives the midpoint on two lines (x, y)

20
Pythagor

• which side is missing
• program calculates the missing side when the
  other two are given

21
Quadratic

• user inputs A, B and C
• the solution is given

22
Radsimp

• simplifies roots other than square
• index is the root, radicand is the number under
  the radical

23
Slope

• asks for two points
• gives the slope in the form rise/run

24
Slvsystm

• ax by c
• dx ey f
• asks for a, b, c, d, e, f
• solves for x and y

25
Yintslop

• asks for two points
• gives the slope and y-intercept
