• Complex results are not displayed unless complex
numbers are entered.
• To access i on the keypad, use the multi-tap key g.
• Variables x, y, z, t, a, b, c, and d are real or complex.

and some other input areas.
• For conj(, real(, and imag(, the argument can be in either
rectangular or polar form. The output for conj( is
determined by the mode setting.
• The output for real( and imag( are real numbers.
• Set mode to DEG or RAD depending on the angle
measure needed.
