Re: TI-85 convert problem?



I don't think it's a bug-- it has to do with the order of operations on
the ti-85. The TI-85 apparently does conversion before multiplying. For
example:


typing
-300 degreesF -> degreesK
gives me
-422.03.. degress K


(which happens to equal -1 times (300 degreesF -> degreesK)




but if I type
(-300) degreesF -> degreesK
I get
88.70555...


Which is more reasonable.
Hope this answers your question; I was surprised by this too when I
first noticed it. When in doubt, use parenthesis :-)
