Sharp EL-W516T help, please - Matt Agajanian - 11-01-2022 05:00 AM

Hi all.

Got the quick reference (if you want to call it that) and the manual. Kinda half-baked, if I say so myself.

Anyway… What does the ALGB key do? How does it work?

Same for the Solver.

Thank you.

Those two functions are described on items 25 & 26 of the 9-page “manual” (see below).

There may be additional examples in the following Scientific Calculator Operation Guide.

ALGB is Sharp's formula evaluator. Type a formula and ALGB will prompt for each of the variables.


Example:

A*X^2 + B*X + C [ 2ndF ] (ALGB)

(prompts for A) enter value for A [ = ]
(prompts for X) enter value for X [ = ]
(prompts for B) enter value for B [ = ]
(prompts for C) enter value for C [ = ]
(result is displayed)

Values are retained in the variables stored.

I agree with you regarding the manual.

I wonder why the 69-page manual doesn’t cover the extra functions.

**UPDATE**

I found the correct Quick Reference (if you want to call it that). It's all clear now.

Then, how do I see a list of its 600+ functions it supposedly has? Next, where are the instructions for all those functions?
