Normal
notation mode is the usual way we express numbers, with digits
to the left and right of the decimal, as in
12345.67
.
Sci
(scientific) notation mode expresses numbers in two parts. The
significant digits display with one digit to the left of the decimal. The
appropriate power of 10 displays to the right of
E
, as in
1.234567
E
4
.
Eng
(engineering) notation mode is similar to scientific notation.
However, the number can have one, two, or three digits before the
decimal; and the power-of-10 exponent is a multiple of three, as in
12.34567
E
3
.
Note: If you select
Normal
notation, but the answer cannot display in 10 digits
(or the absolute value is less than .001), the
TI-83 Plus
expresses the answer in
scientific notation.

Float
(floating) decimal mode displays up to 10 digits, plus the sign and
decimal.

(fixed) decimal mode specifies the number of digits (
0
through

) to display to the right of the decimal. Place the cursor on the
desired number of decimal digits, and then press
Í
.
The decimal setting applies to
Normal

notation modes.
