Decompose Complex Number (Sharp EL-W516T/516X) - Matt Agajanian - 08-23-2023 05:38 PM
Okay. So only the real part of a value stays in M or ANS, here’s what I tried:
Based on what you mentioned, I think you’re onto something!
Okay. So only the real part of a value stays in M or ANS, here’s what I tried:
For the EL-W516T:
In Complex mode, let’s say 3+5i is the result.
STO M (M retains the real part in NORMAL mode)
Imag( ANS = [this gives the imaginary part as the result which is stored in ANS].
So, when I switch to NORMAL, the real part (3) is in M and the complex part (5) is in ANS.
It looks like that’s the trick for the 516T.
Now, here’s the trick for the 516X:
In Complex Mode:
Store Complex Number in register M
Calculate -(M*i)
Switch to COMP mode
!!BEFORE STARTING ANY COMPUTATION, STORE Ans IN ANOTHER REGISTER!!
Real part of Complex number is in M Imaginary part of Complex number is in Ans or other register
