Keys or [FUNCTIONS]	Purpose(s)
[=] or [ENTER]	Gives the result of the current operation.
[yx] or [ab] or [ N ]	Raise any base to a power. For Example, 45 = 1024 4 [yx] 5 = 1024
[EXP] of EE]	Use to enter a number in scientific notation. For Example, 6.1 x 108 6.1 [EXP] 8
[] or [(-)]	Changes the sign of the displayed number. Also use to enter a negative value. (This is not the substraction key.)
[1/x] or [x-1]	Finds the reciprocal of a displayed number. For Example,  0.25 [1/x] = 4
[STO] or [STO->]	Store a number in memory For Example, Let w = 5 5 [STO->] [alpha] w [alpha] w [Enter] => 5
[RCL] or [2nd] [STO>] or [INV][STO]	Recalls a number stored in memory. May need to press [2nd] [STO] w [RCL] => 5
[x2]	Squares the displayed number. For Example 2.1422 2.142 [x2] = 4.588164
[DEL]	On a graphing calculator, deletes previously entered characters.
[x-VAR] or [x, r] or [x, r, ] or [x, r, , n]	On a graphing calculator, use to write the variable x.
[y(x)=] or [y=]	On a graphing calculator, use to enter equation(s) to be graphed. For Example, y = 5 - 3x [GRAPH] [F1: y(x)=] y1=5 - 3 [x-VAR]
[WIND] or [RANGE] or [WINDOW]	Ona graphing calculator, use to set the viewing window to choose the part of the coordinate plane to be displayed. Defaults are: xMin = -10, xMax = 10, xScl=1                        ymin = -10, yMax = 10, yScl =1
[TRACE]	On a graphing calculator, use to find the x- and y-coordinates of points on a curve.
[Graph]	On a graphing calculator, use to graph a previously entered equation(s)
[2nd][TABLE] or [2nd][GRAPH]	On a graphing calculator, use for a table of values relating to an entered equation. The table can be used to estimate an answer to a problem.
[OFF] or [2nd][OFF]	Turns calculator off
