key). To define this function in ALG mode use the
command: DEF(f(x) = IFTE(x>0, x^2-1, 2*x-1))
then, press
`
. In RPN mode, type the function definition between
apostrophes:
‘f(x) = IFTE(x>0, x^2-1, 2*x-1)’
then press

Press

to recover your variable menu. The function
@@@f@@@
should be
available in your soft key menu. Press
‚
@@@f@@@
to see the resulting program:
<< x ‘IFTE(x>0, x^2-1, 2*x-1)’ >>
To evaluate the function in ALG mode, type the function name, f, followed by
the number at which you want to evaluate the function, e.g., f(2), then press
`
. In RPN mode, enter a number and press
@@@f@@@
. Check, for example,
that f(2) = 3 , while f(-2) = -5 .

you can combine several levels of the IFTE function, i.e.,
‘g(x) = IFTE(x<-2, -x, IFTE(x<0, x+1, IFTE(x<2, x-1, x^2)))’ ,
Define this function by any of the means presented above, and check that
g(-3) = 3, g(-1) = 0, g(1) = 0, g(3) = 9.
