Algebraic Expressions
The ALGBR Mode (Algebraic Mode) provides tools for expansion of
algebraic expressions, factoring, etc. In this mode, differential and
integration calculation results are displayed as mathematical
expressions instead of decimal values.

20-1 Before Using the Algebraic Mode
In the Main Menu, select the ALGBR icon to enter the ALGBR Mode and display
its initial screen, which contains the following items.
•{expn} ... {expansion}
•{fctor} ... {factorization}
•{diff} ... {differential}
•{ ∫ (} ... {integration}
•{SOLV} ... {Solve function}
•{tExp} ... {expression transformation using the addition theorem}
•{tColl} ... {product-to-sum transformation using the addition theorem}
•{comb} ... {combination}
•{PTS

} ... {function for line passing through specific points}
•{CPLX} ... {complex function transformation}
•{appr} ... {convert to numeric value}
•{collc} ... {collection}
•{tanL} ... {tangent expression}
The following table shows the keys that can be used in the ALGBR Mode.
• The M key performs its screen shot send function only. It does not perform its
fraction-decimal conversion function.

20-2 Inputting and Executing Calculations
The ALGBR Mode display is divided into three areas: an input area, a solution
area, and a message area (used for display of menus and error messages).
Input area
Solution area
Messages area
P.361
P.356
Example X + X2 + 3X – 2X
v+vx+dv-cvx
w
• Solutions are displayed in natural display notation.
• Solutions produced in the ALGBR Mode are also stored in Ans memory and
can be recalled by pressing !K.
• You can input up to 255 bytes of data for each ALGBR Mode calculation.
• If a solution does not fit within the solution area, use f, c, d, and e to
scroll the screen.
• Inputting more data while there is data in the input area and solution area
causes the previous data to be cleared from two areas automatically.
• If you clear the display by pressing A, you can recall the previous operation
by pressing d or e (Replay Function).
• The Angle item of the set up screen can be set to either "Deg" or "Rad" for
ALGBR Mode operations.
• The Display item of the set up screen can be set to "Fix", "Sci", or "Norm" for
ALGBR Mode operations. Note, however, that this setting is applied for the
approx command only.
• A displayed solution can be stored in function memory by pressing
K6(FMEM)1(STO). Next, press a function 1(f
specific function memory.

20-3 ALGBR Mode Commands
In the ALGBR Mode, results are calculated in accordance with commands and
expressions you input. This section describes each of the commands available in
the ALGBR Mode.
kk
k Conventions Used in this Section
kk
The following conventions are used in the command descriptions of this section.
Item Description
<expression> This item indicates a mathematical expression input by you.
The actual expression you should input depends on the type of
operation you are performing. One example of an expression
is: X+1.
<variable> This item indicates a variable input by you. The actual variable
you should input depends on the type of operation you are
performing. One example of a variable is: A.
[ ] Anything enclosed within square brackets is optional, which
means you can skip it if you want. Note the following:
expand (<expression>[)]
The above example means that the final closed parenthesis to
the right of <expression> does not need to be input for the
command to execute properly.

definite integral for an expression.
Syntax 1: ∫ (<expression>, <variable> [, <integration constant>] [)]
Syntax 2: ∫ (<expression>[, <variable>, <integration constant>] [)]
Syntax 3: ∫ (<expression>, <variable> , <start>, <end> [)]

kk
k Difference Between "approx" and Standard Calculations
kk
approx differs from standard calculations (calculations that do not use natural
display notation) in the number of display digits and handling of variables. With
standard calculations, calculation results are displayed without using exponential
notation.
Example jMcaw 12157665459056928801
When part of the expression includes a variable, the variable is processed as a
variable regardless of whether or not it has been assigned a value.
Example f*aA+dw 5A + 3
356
Page 9
ALGBR Mode Commands 20 - 3
With approx, calculation results are displayed using exponential notation. As with
the RUN Mode, the mantissa can have up to 10 digits and the exponent up to two
digits. The number of digits that can be input for approx depends on the setting of
the set up screen's Display item.
gg
Example 6(
When part of the expression includes a variable, the calculation is performed by
substituting the value for the variable. The following shows the calculation when A
= 0.
Example 6(
uu
uCollection —— (collc)
uu
This command arranges the terms of an expression, focusing on a particular
variable.
Syntax: collect (<expression>[, <variable>] [)]

uSequence —— (sequ)
uu
This command creates the function that describes the relationship between the
variable and the value of the expression, if the value of the expression is entered
when the variable is assigned the first specified <value>, the second specified
<value>, and so on.
• The function is a linear algebra expression.
Syntax 1: sequence ({<value>, <value>, ...} [,<variable>] [)]
• A default variable of X is used when specification of a variable is skipped.

following: sequence(List 1, N).
Syntax 2: sequence ({<value>, <value>, ...},{<value>, <value>, ...} [,<variable>] [)]
The values input with this syntax are handled as lists, with the first value of the
first list paired with the first value of the second list, the second value with the
second value, and so on. This syntax creates a function using this relationship.

20-6 ALGBR Mode Error Messages
A number of error messages are unique to the ALGBR Mode. The following lists
the error messages and explains the meaning of each one.
• Error messages unique to the ALGBR Mode appear in the message area of the
display.
uUndefined
No solution exists for the operation being performed.
Example 1/0
uOverflow ERROR
The result of the operation being performed exceeds the range of the calculator.
Example 99999^99999
uDomain ERROR
Input value is outside the domain of the operation being performed.
Example (–4)!
uNon-Real ERROR
Only real numbers have been input and the result is a complex number while the
P.7
set up screen's Answer Type item is specified as "Real".
Example (–1)^(1/2)
P.19
uNo Solution
No solution can be obtained using the Solve Function.
Example solve(X^2 = –1, X), when Answer Type = "Real"
uMa ERROR
Attempt to use approx with an expression that generates an error unique to the
ALGBR Mode.
Example approx(1/0)
uOther Errors
Stk, Syn, Mem, Arg, and Dim errors have the same meanings as they do in the
RUN Mode. See "Overflow and Errors" for details.

20-7 ALGBR Mode Precautions
• When an input expression cannot be processed any further, the expression
displayed as the result of an operation will be identical to the input expression.
• It may take a considerable amount of time for a result to appear. This does not
indicate malfunction.
• Note that there may be a variety of different formats that can be used to
express a result. Because of this, even if the format of a result may displayed
by the calculator does not match the format that you need for your purposes, it
does not necessarily mean that the result is wrong.
Regardless of whether intervals are continuous or discontinuous, this calculator
performs definite integral calculations by first obtaining an indefinit integral. Based
on this result, it then obtains a definite integral.
