Just got a SHARP EL-531X, it won't do simple calculations with scientific notation, It keep saying

I'm trying to do simple equations with scientific notation like: 6.626 X 10 (power of -34) multiplied by 3.0 X 10 (to the power of 8) divided by 5.25 X 10 (to the power of -19). Keep getting ERROR 1 message, I have also tried resetting it.

To enter the power of 10 with exponent use the Exp key followed by the exponent. If the exponent is negative, you must use the negation key (-) not the - key (for subtraction).
When you press the Exp key you do not type in the 10.

SOURCE: scientific notation

you want to hit mode not menu and then make sure that normal is flashing instead of SCI and hit enter. so just hit mode then enter and it should be normal

SOURCE: I have a TI-30XS Calculator

One solution that you might try is to put the scientific numbers in parentheses. For instance open parenthesis, type in the first scientific notation then close parenthesis, next hit the divide key and then open parenthesis and type in the 2nd number in scientific that you are dividing by and then close parenthesis. Hit enter or =. I'm not sure if this will fix your problem, but it is worth a try.

SOURCE: scientific notation

Hello,
Use the EE key
1.234[EE] [(-)]65 [ENTER] 1.234 times 10 negative 65 =1.234E-65
The (-) is not the regular (bigger) minus sign.
Hope it helps

SOURCE: Inputing scientific notation into my calculator

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

SOURCE: HOW DO I CHANGE MY MODE TO REGULAR MATH EQUATIONS

Hello,
Press [SHIFT][MODE][6:Fix] and press a numbetr between (0--9). The number you select will be the number of decimal places your results have.
However if a result is smaller than 0.001 it will be in scientific notation.

Hope it helps.

Help! My Sharp EL-531x calculator is not calculating correctly.

First subtract the 106 from the 240, then divide by 800. You need a parenthesis around the first two numbers, then it will work.

HOw to change FSE code on Sharp Advanced D.A.L. EL-531X

Hi there,

To change the FSE code on your SHARP calculator press SETUP and choose 0. FIX means that it shows you all the decimal places. SCI is scientific notation, ENG changes the scientific notation in groups of 3's. NORM1 and NORM2 are your normal number ranges, however norm2 starts from zero and anything negative will be written in scientific notation.

Linear equations sharp el-531

Hi there,

You cannot solve linear equations on a SHARP EL531. If you would like a calculator that solves equations, you need to get a SHARP EL W506

Working the equation sqroot (2GM(1/a - 1/b)) where G=6.67*10^(-11) , M = 2.5*10^30 , a=200'000 and b = a+2.5*10^10 gives me an answer close to 40 mil when the actual answer is 28 mil

You do not have an equation. You have an expression to evaluate. If you are doing a gravitation problem you should state your units.
Here is the calculation. Check the structure to verify that the way I understood it is the correct way.

How do I solve quadratics on my 531x Sharp calculator?

There is some confusion here.
In stat mode [Quad] the calculator tries to fit a quadratic function to your (already entered) data. It gives you the coefficients a, b, and c of the 2nd degree polynomial that best describes the data.
To solve an equation you need to use the solver not statistics.

How do i find the roots of a function on the EL-531X

Unfortunately, the 531 does not find roots of a function. However, the 506 calculator has something called equation mode, where you can
find roots of equations.

If you have any more questions there is a dedicated website http://www.mathsatsharp.co.za/ where you can leave questions about the SHARP calculators on the student page and they will be answered within a week maximum.

EL 531X Sharp - Help with calculations

You need a SHARP with Write-View display capabilities. The EL-531X is unable to show that. The Write-View calculators from Shard have a W, example EL-W516 followed by Write-View. Not to be confused with the W in EL-520W

How to I stop my sharp EL-531X calculator from rounding when converting from decimal to scientific notation?

You need to select the number of decimal places you would like, or if you would like the calculator to behave as normal. Press SET UP and select FSE (press 1) . You now have 5 options.
0: FIX means you can choose a fixed number of decimal places for every calculation.
1: SCI means scientific notation and choose the number of significant values you would like to deal with.
2: ENG means engineering and the power goes up in multiples of 3.
3: NORM1 and 4: NORM2 are the usual or normal settings on the calculator. Most school calculations will use NORM1 mode.
