Problems that are even more complicated can be solved in the same simple manner,
using the automatic storage of intermediate results. For example, to solve
(6 + 5) × (9 – 3) with pencil and paper, you would:
|
|
(6 + 5)
|
×
|
(9 – 3)
|
|
|
|
First solve for
|
|
|
the contents of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
...and then for these parentheses...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
...and then you would multiply the
two intermediate answers together.
|
|
|
You work through the problem the same way with your HP-41C. First solve for the
intermediate result (6 + 5):
|
|
|
|
Now perform (9 – 3): (Since you must key in another pair of numbers
before you can perform a function, you use the ENTER
key again to separate the first number of the pair from the second.)
