how can i use modulus here?
Use the function abs().
For example, type in abs(-6) to get 6
.
modulus is not absolute function!
Mod(17,4) = 1
I just typed in mod(17,4) and pressed =
Mod() is the modulo function.
Press the '2nd' button and look for where the '÷' sign, and you get modulus button!
ok Alan, the guest and I are obviously both confused about modulo verses modulus.
I thought they were the same. ://
Come to think of it, modulus can mean the same as modulo!
It has several meanings in mathematics. When used with complex numbers, for example, it means the absolute value, so the modulus of 3 + 4i, say is sqrt(3^2 + 4^2) (i.e. 5)
Oh yea, I forgot about that. Thanks Alan :)
