Power:
First we will discuss about ( power of 10 ) button then we will move toward power of
other number.
Power of 10: Two button has given for Power of 10 function first is [ Exp ] and second
is [ 10x ]. Let solve an example to see what is the different between them and how does
they work.

while using [Exp] button we first have to type 4.2 than we will use [Exp] button but in
case on [ 10x ] first we have to find power of 10 then we mention 4.2

Power in General
Three button has given for this purpose [ x2 ], [ x3 ] and [ xy ]. First and second is for
square and cube respectively where as 3rd button is for other numbers.
Square: First you have to mention x then click on [ x2 ] to get square of x. For example
we want to calculate 1442 so type 144 then click on [ x2 ] for result 20736.
Cube: First you have to mention number then click on [ x3 ] to get cube of number. For
example we want to calculate 1253 so first type number 125 then click on [ x3 ] for result
1953125.
Other: Now we want to calculate 314. Procedure will be same as above but now we
have to mention power term. So first type 31 then click on [ xy ] now mention power
term which is 4 in this case then click on [ = ] for result 923521.

Root :
Three buttons are provided for dealing with roots [ ], [ 3 ] and [ yx ] in GATE Virtual
Calculator. Let solve some simple problem to learn about these button.
Square Root: Mention the number of which square root has to be find then click on
[ ]. For Example we want to find 441 so first we have to type 441 then click on
[ ] button for result 21.
Cube Root: Mention the number of which cube root has to be find then click on
[ 3 ]. For example we want to find 310648 so first we have to type 10648 then click
on [ 3 ] button for result 22.
Other [ yx ]: First type value of x then click on [ yx ] then mention value of y. For
example we want to find53125 so first type 3125 then click on [ yx ] and then mention
5 and click [ = ] for result 8.

Trigonometric Function
Calculator should be in degree mode and value should always be given first and then
function for example in order to find sin30 one must type 30 first then click on [ sin
] button.
Gate Virtual Calculator consist of 6 buttons to deal with trigonometric problem which
are [ sin ] [ cos ] [ tan ] [sin-1 ] [cos-1 ] [tan-1 ] and 6 hyperbolic function [ sinh ] [
cosh ] [ tanh ] [sinh-1 ] [cosh-1 ] [tanh-1 ]. Here we will look into functioning of 6
trigonometric function which will be same for hyperbolic function too.
For example:
Sin 30 + cos 30 = 1.366

Logarithmic Function
Four buttons is provided in GATE Virtual Calculator for dealing with Logarithmic
Function [ ln ], [ log2 x ], [ log x ] and [ logy x ]
[ ln ] This button mean Logarithms with base e. In order to determine ln5 first type the
value which is in this case is 5 then click on [ ln ] button for result 1.609.
[ log2 x ] : Logarithms with base 2
[ log x ] : Logarithms with base 10
[ logy x ] : Logarithms with user input base.

IMPORTANT ADVICE:
1. Always click on [ C ] button before starting new calculation
2. BODMAS rule should be followed
B Bracket
O Order (Power and roots)
D Division
M Multiplication
A Addition
S Subtraction
3. Here [ mod ] button is simply a showpiece never press mod button. It is just
indicating whether calculator is in deg mode or in radian mode. For changing
degree mode to radian mode you have to press radio button.
4. While solving question try to do your calculation with GATE virtual calculator in
order to get good command on it.
In coming days I am going to cover calculation of important formulas using GATE virtual
Calculator for different subjects. Subscribe to get updates in your mail box.
