What is a scientific calculator used for?

It performs advanced mathematical operations such as trigonometric, logarithmic, exponential, and power functions beyond basic arithmetic.

How do I switch between degrees and radians?

Toggle the checkbox labeled 'DEG'. When checked, the calculator interprets angles in degrees; when unchecked, in radians.

Can I compute exponents like 2⁵ or 10³?

Yes — use the xʸ key. Type the base, press xʸ, and enter the exponent before pressing =.

Why do I get an error when dividing by zero?

Division by zero is undefined in mathematics. The calculator prevents it by displaying an error message.

What’s the difference between log and ln?

log is base 10, used in engineering, while ln is base e (≈ 2.718), used in natural and scientific contexts.

How do I calculate a cube root?

Use the power function: type the number then ^(1/3) or use xʸ and enter (1/3) as the exponent.

What does the factorial button (n!) do?

It multiplies all positive integers up to n (e.g., 5! = 120). Factorials are used in probability and statistics.

Can I use constants like π and e?

Yes — press π or e to insert these constants directly into your expression.

What are memory keys for?

They let you store and recall values: MC (clears), MR (recalls), M+ (adds current value), M− (subtracts current value).

Is this calculator suitable for exams?

It’s ideal for practice and general learning, but always check exam rules — many restrict online or programmable calculators.
