How do I solve quadratics on my 531x Sharp calculator?

I know to go into mode-1 and then QUAD(2) so that I get STAT 2 on my screen, and there is a stat sign on the top right corner. How do I input the values for a, b and c to get the roots (x-values) of the quadratic? I read some other answers but they didn't make sense.

There is some confusion here.
In stat mode [Quad] the calculator tries to fit a quadratic function to your (already entered) data. It gives you the coefficients a, b, and c of the 2nd degree polynomial that best describes the data.
To solve an equation you need to use the solver not statistics.

SOURCE: how do I use sharp EL 531W to solve quadratic equations?

Hello,
This calculator does not have a program to which you give the equation, and which returns the solutions. Sorry. You have to use the formulas you learned.
Let the equation be ax^2 +bx+c=0
You compute the discriminant Callit disc.
disc= (b^2-4*a*c)
1. If discriminant is larger than zero you have two solutions. Let us call them x1 and x2.
Then x1=(-b+square root of disc)/(2*a)
and x2= (-b-square root of disc)/(2*a)

2. If disc=0 , square root of disc =0 and x1=x2=-b/(2*a)
3. If disc is negative, there are no real solutions.

To find the solutions you replace a, b, and c by their numerical values, to calculate disc, its square root, and calculate X1 and X2.

Hope it helps.

SOURCE: How do you input &

The quadratic equation is (-b(+or-)sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a

SOURCE: i am trying to solve

This expression 5x^2+15x+3 is not an equation, therefore it can have any value depending on the value of x. You have to make it an equation before looking for the particular value of x that satisfy your equation 5x^2+15x+3 =0

This calculator cannot solve equations because it does not have an equation solver.

EL 531x - can't find a manual online, and I can't work out how to put an answer in the memory and then re-use it. Please help! Thank you!

If you insist on finding the exact model number in the title of the manual it is possible your quest will be fruitless. Just take any manual for an EL-531 and you will get lucky. Besides, most calculators of the same manufacturer perform operations the same way.
Anyway, here is a screen grab to solve your problem.

Can't find statistcal mode

Hi there,

Press the MODE button (below on) and choose 1 for stat (press 1) then choose SD for single data (or univariate data) and LINE for bivariate data (two-variable data).
To carry out the calculations you need to press the ALPHA key first and then press the number key with the blue statistics function you would like to do. For example, pressing ALPHA 4 will give you the average.

Sharp advanced EL-531x how to input number after number for stats

First you have to set the calculator in STAT mode, presumably Standard Deviation or SD. The display should show a STAT annoucer to the top. To enter values use the key M+ (or the key next to which is marked DATA. The screen displays the number of data values entered so far.
To get the statistics you must use the keys marked with x bar, n, Sigma x, etc.

How to I stop my sharp EL-531X calculator from rounding when converting from decimal to scientific notation?

You need to select the number of decimal places you would like, or if you would like the calculator to behave as normal. Press SET UP and select FSE (press 1) . You now have 5 options.
0: FIX means you can choose a fixed number of decimal places for every calculation.
1: SCI means scientific notation and choose the number of significant values you would like to deal with.
2: ENG means engineering and the power goes up in multiples of 3.
3: NORM1 and 4: NORM2 are the usual or normal settings on the calculator. Most school calculations will use NORM1 mode.

SC-6103 aurex prestige calculator

You must have pressed the MODE key followed by SOLV , QUAD or SIMUL-2 or SIMUL-3 . If the calculator has these a programs they solve a Quadratic equation, a simultaneous system of two linear equations (SIMUL-2) . a system of 3 linear equations (SIMUL-3).

To use these solvers (IF YOU ARE INTERESTED), you select the solver you want and you will be prompted for a first coefficient (a, or a1). You enter the value and press the DATA key and you will be prompted for the next coefficient.

To exit the Solver mode press the MODE key followed by the key next to which there is DEC or >DEC. It might also be marked COMP.
Sorry, I do not have that very calculator but an other AUREX Scientific calculator (DS-752C).
