Calculator Operations and Equation Solving

In this video tutorial, Rick demonstrates how to solve for variables using the TI-36X Pro scientific calculator. The tutorial covers using the second function key and the sine key to access the number solver feature. Rick provides examples of solving for X and Y, explaining how to input equations, clear previous entries, and store results. The video also shows how to overwrite stored variables and offers tips for efficient calculator use.
