1. Calculator Programs for the ACT
and how to use them

2. Programs you will want:
Cat
Cube
Cylla
Dist
F2k
Line
Log
Math
Midpoint
Polyinfo
Pyramid
Pythagor
Quadratic
Radsimp
Slope
Slvsystm
Trig
yintslop

3. Formula Programs: Cube, Cylla, Pyramid, Trig
These programs do not actually do anything, they are used as references.
Access them by going to “edit” for that program.
Be sure to use “quit” to go back to your home screen, “clear” will erase lines of the program.

4. Programs with their own Menus:
F2k, Math
These have several functions within a single program.
You must choose from the menu which functions you wish to perform, then you must follow the directions correctly for each function

5. F2k Menu 1:
Area
Quadratic
Sysofequations
endpoint
distance
slope

6. area: Surface area Pythagorean Pythag2 Circle trapezoid parallelogram

12. piecewise:
2 equations
3 equations
4 equations

13. sequence:
arithmetic (1. supersum 2. number of terms 3. sum of finite 4. infinite limit A x B)
geometric (1. sum of finite 2. sum of infinite 3. infinite limit 4. A x B)
sigma

14. Math: Area (list of formulas) Volume (list of formulas)
Loan (calculates pmts & interest)
Distance (calculates and gives formula)
Midpoint (calculates and gives formula)
Sales Tax (calculates tax and total price)

15. triangle all tri (find area: 1. by length 2. by SAS)
right tri (find length of: 1. hypotenuse a leg)
special tri ( )

16. Dist finds the distance between two points gives the formula used
tells the square root taken to find the distance in case the answer is needed in radical form

17. Line gives the formula for point-slope form
the user inputs a point and the slope
the program writes an equation in slope-intercept form

18. Log user inputs the “of” number (fatty) and the base
program gives the answer

19. Midpoint user gives two coordinates
program gives the midpoint on two lines (x, y)

20. Pythagor which side is missing
program calculates the missing side when the other two are given

21. Quadratic
user inputs A, B and C
the solution is given

22. Radsimp simplifies roots other than square
index is the root, radicand is the number under the radical

23. Slope
asks for two points
gives the slope in the form rise/run

24. Slvsystm ax + by = c dx + ey = f asks for a, b, c, d, e, f
solves for x and y

25. Yintslop
asks for two points
gives the slope and y-intercept
