CMPLX menu in keyboard
A second CMPLX menu is accessible by using the right-shift option associated
with the
1

‚ß

boxes, the keyboard CMPLX menu shows up as the following screens:
The resulting menu include some of the functions already introduced in the
previous section, namely, ARG, ABS, CONJ, IM, NEG, RE, and SIGN. It also
includes function
i
which serves the same purpose as the keystroke
combination
„¥
, i.e., to enter the unit imaginary number
i
in an
expression.
The keyboard-base CMPLX menu is an alternative to the MTH-based CMPLX
menu containing the basic complex number functions. Try the examples
shown earlier using the keyboard-based CMPLX menu for practice.
