SUMMARY

The Ti-89 calculator can display large numbers in different formats, including scientific notation. Users experiencing issues with the display of numbers like 10^20 as 100000000000000000000 instead of 1E20 can resolve this by adjusting the settings. Specifically, pressing the "mode" button allows users to change the display to "exponential format" for scientific or engineering notation. This adjustment is essential for those who prefer concise representations of large values.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with the Ti-89 calculator interface
  • Understanding of scientific notation and its applications

100000 instead of 10E5 on Ti-89?

Hi, guys.

I've been using Ti-89 over 5 years so far. When the huge number such as 10^10 x 10^10 was calculated, it used to show me 1E20. Not anymore. I got 100000000000000000000... instead of 1E20. Can you guys help me out?



Thanks.

I don't see any real problem with that but if you want scientific or engineering notation, use the "mode" button and change the "exponential format".
