标题: Calculator Question Geometric Mean [打印本页] 作者: busprof 时间: 2013-4-1 12:20 标题: Calculator Question Geometric Mean
How do you input the “T” of the Geometric Mean using the BAII?
I know the equation and I can easily figure out the average, I don’t know how to input the “5th” power of a square root, for example?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Jake, there is a key x^y. you press that when you have to press in a power number.作者: Valores 时间: 2013-4-1 12:20
it is the Y^x (the key just above the 9).
If using the BAII I highly advise you go to the TI website and they have step by step web videos on how to use the calculator. Shows you how to do, NPV’s, Statistics, bond calcs, mortgage calcs, annuity calcs and use the memory functions作者: Dapper425 时间: 2013-4-1 12:20
Is there a way to input the 5th root of a number directly?
I use x^ 0.2 to find the 5th root of x.作者: Valores 时间: 2013-4-1 12:20
Got it!
Although 80 explained it well, I think heading to the TI site might be a good idea in general.
Thanks again for the help!

For the BA II you just need to use y^x key with inputs y^(1/x). X being the root you want to take.作者: Andreas42 时间: 2013-4-1 12:20
Am I alone in prefering 12c in most cases?作者: Iginla2010 时间: 2013-4-1 12:20
No, your’e not.

Can we use the hp 10BII calculator for the level 1 exam? . I already have that so was wondering and I can do everything that I need to do.作者: Iginla2010 时间: 2013-4-1 12:20
Nope apparently there are ways to save formuli in it. I used the HP10B all the way through University but had to switch to the TI BA II for CFA LI exam. Glad I did, once I became familiar with it I found I was actually easier to use.作者: dvilayphet 时间: 2013-4-1 12:20
ok i’ve read this post because I thought it may help me in using the calc and geometric mean but I am getting super confused regarding the 3rd root. As an example if I have the following question how do i get to the answer using the calc;
?y??1.183 1 = 1.0575
thanks to anyone who can help on this simple questions作者: maratikus 时间: 2013-4-1 12:20
You want to find out the cube root of 1.183?
If yes then follow these steps:
Step 1 … Enter 1.183
Step 2 … Press y^x (the key above number 9)
Step 3 … Enter 3
Step 4 … Press 1/x button (the key above y^x)
Step 5 … Press =
You will get 1.0576
