On the CAS calculator how do you type in Log10? I didn't undrstand one of the questions and tried to do the worked example instead. I cannot seem to get the answer right. What I think I am doing wrong, is that when typing in Log10 am I doing it wrong. On the CAS, I type it in the same as I have done on this computer but in the worked example the "10" has been typed in small and is placed a bit below "LOG". I am not sure how to do this. Can someone please help. I hope I explained it alright

lol yeah, anything above the function (in blue), just use control. :D
olly, which school are you in? my school's using the ti-nspire only for the second year. it's kinda screwed because sometimes you can't trace graphs...
yeah my school is also using it for the second year, i'm at braybrook college

I see. I think most schools use the TI-89, is it more reliable...?
I think the n-spire has better features... who knows. I'm used to it so I don't really mind it.
