BASIC STEPS IN USING SCIENTIFIC CALCULATOR

Exponents

 These are the steps in solving exponents using a scientific calculator.


Step 1: Enter the number that you want to find the exponents
Step 2: Press the x 2 key
Step 3: Press equals and you can get the answer.
a. Ex: 52
Just enter 5 and then the x 2 button, press equals and it will give the answer which is 25.

 But if the exponent is not squared, you can use this step.
Step 1: Enter the number that you want to find the exponents
Step 2: Press the ˄ key
Step 3: Enter the number of exponents
Step 4: Press equals and you can get the answer
a. Ex: 29
Just enter the number 2, and then press the ˄ key and enter the exponent which is the
number 9, press equals and you can get the answer which is 512.

Square root

 To solve the square root in scientific calculator, we would simply do this step.
Step 1: Press the 2 nd key
Step 2: Press the x 2 key
Step 3: Enter the number that you are solving
Step 4: Press equals and you can get the answer
a. Ex: √ 81
Just press the 2 nd key and then press the x 2 key, after that enter the number 81 and press
equals to get the answer which is 9.

Logarithms

 Using a scientific calculator, to find the natural log (LN) of a number, we would simply do this step.
Step 1: Press the LN key
Step 2: Enter the number that you want to find the natural log of
Step 3: Press equals and you can get the natural log (LN) of a number
a. Ex: ln 100
Enter LN of 100 then press equals and it will give you the answer of LN100 which is
4.60517.

 To find the log that has a base of 10 (log 10 ), we would simply do this steps.
Step 1: Press the log key
Step 2: Enter the number that you want to find the log of
Step 3: Press equals and you can get the log 10 of a number
a. Ex: log 10 100
Enter log of 100 then press equals and it will give you the answer of log 10 100 which is 2.

 But if we wanted to find a log that is not a base of 10, these are the steps that we should follow.
Step 1: Press the log key and enter the number that you want to find the log
Step 2: Divide it by its log base
Step 3: Press the log key and enter the log base
Step 4: Press equals and you can get the answer
a. Ex: log 2 100
Enter log of 100 then divide it by log of 2, press equals and it will give you the answer of
log 2 100 which is 6.643856
