Scientific notation. is that possible on this specific calculator?

Of course it is possible!

There seem to be many ways to do this on this calculator.

Assuming we cannot do scientific notation, we can always do

6.02 x 10 ^ 23 / 3.01 x 10 ^23. However, we have to put brackets in to get BEDMAS to work correctly!

6.02 x 10^23 / (3.01 x 10^23) - for the 10^23, type 10 then the y to the x key and then 23.

Using the scientific notation, we can type in 6.02 EXP 23 / 3.01 EXP 23.

Good luck with your chemistry test tomorrow!

Take care,

Paul

All calculator use scientific notation if the result is too small or too large. Some, like the Casio FX9750G II, offer you two Normal displays, Norm1 and Norm2 that have different limits when numbers are converted to scientific notations.
Here is how to set one or the other.
In Run>Mat press SHIFT MODE (Setup). Scroll down or up to reach the display line. Press F3 to select Norm1 or Norm2.

Put down your scientific calculator and pick up your "regular" calculator. Or do you want to change your calculator's display from scientific notation to "regular" notation? If so, what make and model calculator?

You've got the display set to fixed decimal notation. To change it, press SHIFT MODE 7 to switch to a scientific notation or SHIFT MODE 8 and then 1 or 2 to switch to one of the norm display modes.

norm1 switches to scientific notation if the magnitude of the number is less than 0.01 .
norm2 switches to scientific notation if the magnitude of the number is less than 0.000000001 .

Press 2nd [SCI] to switch the calculator to display all results in scientific notation. The results are the same whether you do it in scientific notation or not, it's just how the number is displayed.

Without knowing the specific type of scientific notation you are trying to enter, there is no way to give you accurate information. Here is where you can download the manual from...

if you provide additional information, perhaps I can provide a more detailed answer.

Good luck.

For converting answer in to scientific notation do the following steps.

1.click shift key after that press mode key next to on button.

2.From the menu that is displayed in the screen press 7 for displaying answer in scientific notation.

Thank you.

Unfortunately, you don't. For numbers whose magnitudes differ too greatly from 1, the calculator automatically switches to scientific (or engineering) notation. You can press MODE and change the display settings, but there is no setting that will force the calculator to show this number without an exponent.

Hello,
To exit the scientific display format press the [f] key followed by the number of decimal digits you want.
Hope it helps.

Hello,

1. To convert a number to scientific equation, use [2nd][Sci]
Exemples 12345 [=] screen shows 12345 Then [2nd][Sci] coverts it to 1.2345 ^04 to the power 4.
2. To enter directly a number in scientific notation (e.g. -1.2345 X10^(-65) a very small number) you use the [EE] key 1.2345[+ /-][EE][+/-]65 shows as -1.2345 -65
1.6X10^(-19) 1.6[EE][+/-]19 shows as 1.6 -19

Hope it helps
