This section outlines the various functions and operations of the EL-531WHBK calculator.
Figure 2: Operating the Sharp EL-531WHBK Scientific Calculator.
4.1 Basic Arithmetic Operations
Enter numbers using the numeric keypad. Use the +, -, ×, ma ÷ keys for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, respectively. Press = e fa'aalia le i'uga.
- ExampLe: To calculate 15 + 7: Press 1 5 + 7 =. Result: 22.
4.2 Scientific Functions
The calculator provides a wide array of scientific functions. Many functions require pressing the 2ndF key first to access secondary functions printed above the keys.
- Galuega o le Trigonometric: Fa'aoga agasala, cos, tan. For inverse functions (sin⁻¹, cos⁻¹, tan⁻¹), press 2ndF then the respective trigonometric key.
- Galuega Fa'atino Logarithmic: Fa'aoga ogalaau (base 10) and ln (logarithma masani).
- Malosiaga ma A'a: Fa'aoga x² for squaring, √ for square root. For other powers (xʸ) or roots (ʸ√x), use the yˣ or ʸ√x galuega tauave.
- vaega ninii: Fa'aaoga le ab/c key for fraction input and conversion.
4.3 Galuega Tau Manatua
The calculator has independent memory (M) and seven variable memories (A-F, X, Y).
- M+: Adds the displayed value to the independent memory.
- M-: Subtracts the displayed value from the independent memory.
- RCL: Recalls the value from memory.
- STO: Stores the displayed value into a variable memory. Press STO then the desired variable key (e.g., A).
4.4 Statistical Calculations
To enter statistical mode, press TULAGA then select the appropriate statistical mode (e.g., STAT). Input data using the CD FA'AMATALAGA key. The calculator can perform various statistical calculations, including mean, standard deviation, and regression analysis.
4.5 Angle Unit Modes
The calculator supports three angle unit modes: Degrees (DEG), Radians (RAD), and Gradians (GRAD). Press the DRG key repeatedly to cycle through these modes. The current mode is indicated on the display.
5. Tausiga
5.1 Fa'amamāina
To clean the calculator, wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or spray directly onto the calculator.
