Caluclator problem

blackmage_nuke · 11-18-2007, 09:12 AM

I have a Casio fx-82MS scientific calculator, and though theres no buttons that suggest it might be able to use complex numbers, when i angle the calcuator right and look at the screen I can see CMPLX up the top line where all the modes are. I dont know why they would put that there if you couldnt turn the thing on so maybe im missing something. Can i change it to cmplx? if so how?

Kind of a 'no duh' suggestion, but have you tried reading the manual?

Yep, it was pretty much the first thing i did when i found te "CMPLX" letters. I doesnt seem to mention it

No, it cannot. I have no idea why it says that on there, but this site says no.

My Casio CFX 9850GC has an OPTN key that lets you select lots of functions that aren't too commonly used. Dunno if yours have a key like that, but try looking for one :p.

Oh, I just checked which model you had, and realized it's not as advanced as the one I have. Nevermind what I said then, probably.

They might just be using the same LCD display for several models to save manufacturing costs.
