complexValue
 (polar input) 
Enters a complex value in (rq) polar form. The 
angle
 is interpreted according to the current Angle 
mode setting. 
In Radian angle mode and Rectangular complex 
format mode:

ss.ss
/3600). 
This base-60 entry format lets you: 
•  Enter an angle in degrees/minutes/seconds 
without regard to the current angle mode. 
•  Enter time as hours/minutes/seconds. 
In Degree angle mode: 
25°13'17.5" ¸ 25.221...
25°30' ¸ 51/2

Enters a prime symbol in a differential equation. A 
single prime symbol denotes a 1st-order 
differential equation, two prime symbols denote a 
2nd-order, etc.

unit
Designates the units for an 
expression
. All unit 
names must begin with an underscore. 
You can use pre-defined units or create your own 
units. For a list of pre-defined units, refer to the 
module about constants and measurement units. 
You can press 2
 9 to select units from a 
menu, or you can type the unit names directly.

Note: To type 4, press 2 . 
variable
_ 
When 
variable
 has no value, it is treated as though 
it represents a complex number. By default, 
without the _
 , the variable is treated as real. 
If 
variable
 has a value, the _ is ignored and 
variable
retains its original data type. 
Note: You can store a complex number to a 
variable without using _
 . However, for best 
results in calculations such as 
cSolve() and 
cZeros(), the _ is recommended. 
Assuming z is undefined: 
real(z) ¸ z
real(z_) 
¸ real(z_)
imag(z) 
¸ 0
imag(z_) 
¸ imag(z_)
