In Complex Mode, you’ll also have access to the functions real( ), imag( ), conj( ), arg( ), and \(| |\) (for modulus).

Keyboard Shortcuts

Many of the functions on our three different keyboards also have shortcuts available. Type ans to use the previous result in a new expression. Use forward slash (or division) to enter a fraction. Try sqrt for square roots and nthroot for cube roots and more! You can also instantly convert decimal answers into fractions.
