Understanding Scientific Calculator Functions

Master key scientific calculator functions with examples and tips

Trigonometric Functions

(sin, cos, tan)

Compute sine, cosine, and tangent of angles in degrees or radians.

Compute sine, cosine, and tangent of angles in degrees or radians.

Inverse Functions

Find angles from ratios using arcsin, arccos, or arctan.

Example: arcsin(0.5) = 30°, arccos(0.5) = 60°

Logarithmic Functions

(ln, log)

ln(x): Calculates the natural log (base e). Useful in exponential growth and decay.

log(x): Finds the base-10 logarithm used in science and engineering.

Example: ln(e) = 1, log(1000) = 3

Exponential & Power Functions

Exponents (x², xʸ)

Quickly square a number or raise it to any power.

Example: 5² = 25, 2ʸ (with y=3) = 8

Exponential (eˣ) & Roots (√)

Calculate Euler's number raised to a power or find the square root.

Example: e¹ ≈ 2.718, √(81) = 9

Special Functions & Constants

(x!, π, e)

Use factorial (x!) for permutations, and insert constants π and e for precise calculations.

Example: 5! = 120, π ≈ 3.14159

Frequently Asked Questions

Find quick answers to using LiteCalc’s scientific calculator efficiently.

A scientific calculator performs advanced math operations such as trigonometric, logarithmic, exponential, and scientific notation calculations. It’s essential for students, engineers, and professionals working with formulas and measurements.

The 'ln' function calculates the natural logarithm (base e ≈ 2.718), while 'log' calculates the common logarithm (base 10). Natural logarithms are used in calculus and exponential growth problems, while common logarithms are used in scientific notation and pH calculations. For example: ln(e) = 1, while log(10) = 1.

Unlike a basic calculator, a scientific calculator includes functions like sine, cosine, tangent, logarithms, powers, roots, and exponents—making it suitable for higher-level math and science problems.
