Can you factor on a TI 83 calculator?

Answer 1

Yes, you can factor polynomials on a TI-83 calculator using the "Polynomial Root Finder" feature. To access it, go to the "MATH" menu, select "Polynomial," and choose the appropriate degree (e.g., quadratic). Enter the coefficients of the polynomial, and the calculator will provide the roots, which you can use to express the polynomial in factored form. However, it does not directly display the factored form; you'll need to interpret the roots accordingly.
