Factorising is hard sometimes – particularly if you cant remember the factor pairs for a certain number. Here is a trick to help you. First put the calculator in Table mode by pressing Then press the button. At the top of the fraction put the number you are trying to factorise in. Next press the […]
Second Common Differences can be a bit complicated. The SHARP EL-535 can be very useful to help you figure out the formula and also to check whether your answers are right. Let’s do an example: You are given the pattern 3, 7, 15… On your calculator press: 1 (For stat) and then 2 for Quad […]
Enter the Quadratic Function using your Memory Keys For example: 0 = 2×2 + 5x – 6 Make sure you are in Normal mode by pressing 0. We know that a = 2; b = 5 and c = -6. We need to store this in the calculator. So we press 2 . Now store b so type […]
