Can I bring a scientific calculator in checked baggage/hand baggage?
I'm a first time student traveler and I will be needing to bring my scientific calculator to be used on my journey. Can I take it on the plane provided it functions with batteries? It's my first travel and I don't want anything confiscated. Please help.
In 1977, the price of a scientific calculator was $175. In 2004, the price was $15. Assuming the change in p
Hi, If x = 0 is the year 1977, then the 2 points are (0,175) and ( 27,15) 175 - 15 ------------ = m 0 - 27 -160 ------- = m ..27 The equation would be y = -160/27x + 175 The year 1998 would be 98 - 77 = 21 as the x value. y = -160/27(21) + 175 y = 50.56 ≈ 51 The answer is $51. <==ANSWER I hope that helps!! :-)
If a scientific calculator has an 'EXP' key on it, does that mean that it has expotential operations?
Actually, in most cases the EXP key is used to enter scientific notation. For instance, keying in 6.02 [EXP] 24 will be displayed as 6.02E24 and will mean 6.02 × 10^24. The button for exponentiation will typically be either the caret symbol "^", or an x with a superscript y next to it (i.e. x^y, but written properly without the caret). Typically, the calculators that cost $100 or more are either graphing calculators or have symbolic manipulation abilities, or both. Conversely, the $15 calculators typically only compute elementary arithmetic, the basic transcendental functions (exp, sin, cos, tan, and their inverses), and nothing else. So you really do get more for your money (whether the increase in cost is actually worth the extra features is another question altogether).
What is the best calculator for a civil engineer?
The TI-89 is a very good choice and one of the most popular choices for students. I would recommend not buying one from an opened package or from Ebay because of the possibility of "case modding" where someone takes a cheaper TI-83 and puts it in the case for an 89. Other good choices are HP's (use RPN on some of the higher quality which takes some getting used to) and the Casio FX9860 or 9850(which got me through engineering and I still use today). Whatever calculator you get make sure that it has the ability to solve systems of equation, do trig functions in either radians or degrees, integrate and derive numerically (symbolically will be nice but costs more), solves systems of equations, and graphs.
Is there a big difference between Casio and TI graphing calculators?
Based on what I've seen/heard, Casio calculators actually have several more features than popular TI-8x models. Of course, these extra features are what cause them to be prohibited on examinations, such as the SATs, ACTs, etc. The most popular calculator I've seen today is the TI-8x series, particularly the TI-83(+) and TI-84+. The TI-89 and TI-92 are also quite popular, but also have a Computer Algebra System, which allows them to solve variables in equations, something their predecessors cannot do. Because of this, however, the TI-89/92 are not allowed on certain exams. I know that it also depends on the teacher. Most teachers I've seen prefer the TI calculators as well, but this varies. Ask your teacher for more information on which you should get. If you need a calculator that has a lot of features and don't plan on taking examinations that require a calculator, go for the Casio. If you just want a general use calculator that is permitted on tests but has several less feature, try the TI models. Of course, in terms of graphing, either will do. It's up to you.
Can I reprogram a scientific calculator in a PC?
It's difficult, but yes, you can.In order to do that, you should be very good in algebra, geometry, calculus, algorithms and statiatics. You should also be very proficient in programming and problem solving.How do you find the square root of any number? How can you find the limit of anyfunction at any X? What's the most efficient way to do a summation?…I have no idea what I'm supposed to say, but yes, you can reprogram a scientific calculator as a PC app. A few people have actually done that, actually. Unless you think you can do it, I don't recommend it as a school project.
What is the difference between TI 84 and TI 85 calculators?
What's the difference? TI 85 - TI 84 = TI 1. No but seriously. They cover about the same subject matter, for high school. They would be more or less equivalent, in that regard. The 85 can provide higher-level functionality, but at a cost. For one, it's more expensive in general, and it has been superseded by the TI86, which is invariable more expensive than the 85 or 84. There is no reason to have an 85 for Algebra 2 - get the 84. You may want to, years from now, get a more advanced calculator, but wait and see. At that point, the 85 or 86 will be cheaper, and you may not need it (or may not even be allowed to use it - many college math programs forbid calculators). The difference in features involve advanced calculus, statistics, and programming functionality. It should not affect your ability to do your algebra work. In fact, if you want to save more money, go with an 83 or 83+ instead, which still gives you graphing capabilities. As for pricing, basically, a TI 85 will run $50 on ebay, and may be found in retail stores, but mostly retail stores will offer the 86 at $80+ (and the 85 for similar price). On the other hand, an 84 will cost you $90+ retail but only $50 on ebay and the 83 (my pick if I were you) will run you $20-30 on ebay - much less than $50 or $80.
