Solution 12295: Setting Scientific Notation Mode on the TI-34 II Explorer Plus™ and TI-34 MultiView™ Scientific Calculators.

How do I set the TI-34 II Explorer Plus and TI-34 MultiView to scientific notation mode?

Although numbers may be entered in scientific notation on the TI-34 II Explorer Plus and TI-34 MultiView, there is not a way to set either calculator to a mode that will display answers in scientific notation. However, if the calculated solution is too large or too small for the calculator to display in standard notation, it will automatically display the solution in scientific notation.

The TI-30X IIS/B and TI-30XS/TI-30XB MultiView, which function in the same way as the TI-34 II Explorer Plus and TI-34 MultiView, are more advanced calculators that feature the option to display all results in scientific notation.

Please see the TI-34 II Explorer Plus and TI-34 MultiView guidebooks for additional information.
