 How to Operate
Read Before Using
This operation guide has been written based on the EL-W531X, EL-W535X, EL-W531XH,
EL-W531XG, EL-W531, EL-W506X, EL-W516X and EL-W506 models. Some functions
described here are not featured on other models.
In addition, key operations and symbols on the display may differ according to the model.
1. KEY LAYOUT

This calculator can operate in three different
modes as follows.
<Example>
[Normal mode] Mode = 0; normal mode

performing 1- or 2-variable
statistical calculations. To
select the statistical sub-
mode, press the

4. DISPLAY FORMAT AND

DECIMAL SETTING FUNCTION
For convenient and easy operation, this model can be used in one of five display modes.
The selected display status is shown in the lower left part of the display (Format Indicator).
Note: If more 0s (zeros) than needed are displayed when the ON/C key is pressed, check
whether or not the calculator is set to a Special Display Format.
Floating decimal point format 1/2 (N1/N2 is displayed)
Valid values beyond the maximum range are displayed in the form of [10-digit
(mantissa) + 2-digit (exponent)]
Fixed decimal point format (FIX is displayed)
Displays the fractional part of the calculation result according to the specified
number of decimal places.
Scientific notation (SCI is displayed)
Frequently used in science to handle extremely small or large numbers.
Engineering scientific notation (ENG is displayed)
Convenient for converting between different units.
<Example> Lets compare the display result of
[10000 8.1 =] in each display format.
(specifies normal mode) Initial display
Note: The calculator has two settings for displaying a
floating point number: NORM1 (default setting) and
NORM2. In each display setting, a number is
automatically displayed in scientific notation outside a
preset range:
NORM1: 0.000000001 < _x< _ 9999999999

NORM2: 0.01 < x < 9999999999

5. EXPONENT DISPLAY
The distance from the earth to the sun is approx. 150,000,000 (1.5 x 108) km. Values
such as this with many zeros are often used in scientific calculations, but entering the
zeros one by one is a great deal of work and its easy to make mistakes. In such
cases, the numerical values are divided into mantissa and exponent portions,
displayed and calculated.

<Example> What is the number of electrons flowing in a conductor when

the electrical charge across a given cross-section is 0.32 cou-
lombs. (The charge on a single electron = 1.6 x 10-19 coulombs).

0.32 1.6 19

6. ANGULAR UNIT
Angular values are converted from DEG to RAD to GRAD with each push of the DRG
key. This function is used when doing calculations related to trigonometric functions or
coordinate geometry conversions.
Degrees (DEG is shown at the top of the display)
A commonly used unit of measure for angles. The angular measure of a circle
is expressed as 360.

Radians (RAD is shown at the top of the display)

Radians are different from degrees and express angles based on the circumfer-
ence of a circle. 180 is equivalent to radians. Therefore, the angular mea-
sure of a circle is 2 radians.

Grads (GRAD is shown at the top of the display)

Grads are a unit of angular measure used in Europe, particularly in France. An
angle of 90 degrees is equivalent to 100 grads.
The relationships between the three types
of angular units can be expressed as right:
90 (DEG) = 2
/2 (RAD) =
100 (GRAD) =

<Example> Check to confirm 90 degrees equalling /2 radians

calculator display and voids any calculator command; however, coefficients in
3-variable linear equations and statistics, as well as values stored in the
independent memory in normal mode, are not erased.

Random Key
Generates random numbers.
Random numbers are three-decimal-place values between 0.000 and 0.999. Using this
function enables the user to obtain unbiased sampling data derived from random
values generated by the calculator. (Using line mode is preferable since in W-View
mode, the numbers are generated by fractions.)

<Example>

0. *** (A random number is generated.)

[Random Dice]
To simulate a die-rolling, a random integer between 1 and 6 can be generated by
pressing . To generate the next random dice number, press .
[Random Coin]
To simulate a coin flip, 0 (heads) or 1 (tails) can be randomly generated by pressing
. To generate the next random coin number, press .

Matrix Calculation
In a certain year (year 0), the share of manufacturer A is 10% and the
share of manufacturer B is 90%. Manufacturer A then releases a new
product, and each following year it maintains 90% of the share ak it had
the previous year (year k), and usurps 20% of the share bk of
manufacturer B.
Find the transition matrix for this process and the shares of
manufacturers A and B after 5 years.
10%

20% Manufacturer A Manufacturer B 20%

(Royalties) Share 10% Share 90% (Royalties)

20%

Answer
The share of each company after one year is expressed as follows using
a0 and b0.
a1 = 0.9a0 + 0.2b0
b1 = (1-0.9)a0 + (1-0.2)b0
Thus, a1 and b1 are
a2 = 0.9a1 + 0.2b1
b2 = 0.1a1 + 0.8b1
The transition matrix is
0.9 0.2
A=
0.1 0.8
In the same way, after two years
a2 = 0.9a1 + 0.2b1
b2 = 0.1a1 + 0.8b1
Expressing a2 and b2 using a0 and b0 gives
a2 = 0.9(0.9a0 + 0.2b0) + 0.2(0.1a0 + 0.8b0)
= (0.9 x 0.9 + 0.2 x 0.1)a0 + (0.9 x 0.2 + 0.2 x 0.8)b0
= 0.83a0 + 0.34b0
b2 = 0.1(0.9a0 + 0.2b0) + 0.8(0.1a0 + 0.8b0)
= (0.1 x 0.9 + 0.8 x 0.1)a0 + (0.1 x 0.2 + 0.8 x 0.8)b0
= 0.17a0 + 0.66b0
In summary,
a2 = 0.83a0 + 0.34b0
b2 = 0.17a0 + 0.66b0
0.83 0.34
A2 =
0.17 0.66 : This is equal to matA2. (Refer to Example 1)

27
Matrix Calculation
Finding a3 and b3 in the same way,
a3 = 0.781a0 + 0.438b0
b3 = 0.219a0 + 0.562b0
Expressing the coefficients as a matrix gives
0.781 0.438
A3 =
0.219 0.562 : This is equal to matA3. (Refer to Example 1)

From the above, the coefficients of the calculation formula of each

company's share after 5 years can be found by repeated application of
matrix A.
After 5 years: C = A5 = A2 x A3 (Refer to Example 2 - 1)

The shares of manufacturers A and B after 5 years and 10 years are

a2 = 0.72269a0 + 0.55462b0 = 57 %
b2 = 0.27731a0 + 0.44538b0 = 43 % (Refer to Example 2 - 2)

A drop of rain falls against an air resistance proportional to the square of the fall
velocity. The velocity v at time t seconds after the start of the fall is given by the
following equation:
v = AtanhBt [m/s]
A = 6.82

physical properties of air.)

Find the fall velocity at time t = 0, 1, 2, 5, 10, 15.

<Example 1>
To produce one unit of product X, 3 kg of material A and 1 kg of material B
are required.
To product one unit of product Y, 1 kg of material A and 2 kg of material B
are required.
There are 9 kg of A and 8 kg of B in stock.
If the selling price of product X is 30,000 yen/unit and the selling price of
product Y is 20,000 yen/unit, how many units of product X and how many
units of product Y should be produced in order to maximize sales K?
(Do not include the cost of materials and production or other expenses)

If the quantities produced of each product are x and y, the sales K can be
expressed as
K = 3x + 2y
The following relations hold for the quantities in stock:
3x + y 9
x + 2y 8
x 0, y 0
Based on these conditions, find the values of x and y that maximize sales K.

The conditions can be graphed as shown above.

The sales K is a maximum where the line K = 3x + 2y passes through the
intersection point P of lines 3x + y = 9 and x + 2y = 8.

The intersection point P can be obtained from the following simultaneous equations:
3x + y = 9
x + 2y = 8
Solving these gives
x = 2, y = 3
and thus the maximum value of the sales K is
K = 3 x 2 + 2 x 3 = 12 (x 10,000) yen (when x = 2 units and y = 3 units)

x C2H5OH + 3O2 y CO2 + z H2O

Find the values of x, y, and z to complete the chemical reaction formula.

The numbers of C, H, and O before and after the reaction are equal, hence
Number of C: 2x = y
Number of H: 5x + 1 = y
Number of O: x + 3 x 2 = z
As such, the following simultaneous equations are obtained:
2x - y + = 0
