Asked by Wiki User

Put in your fraction (ex. 1/2+1/2)(use the divided by symbol for it) then add, subtract, or whatever. Then push the MATH button (underneath the ALPHA green button) hit enter then hit enter again and there is your answer. ex. 1/2+1/2>frac=1

Asked by Wiki User

Press [GRAPH] to see the graph, then press [2nd][PRGM] to enter the draw menu. If you scroll all the way to the bottom, you will see the Text( option; press ENTER. You can then type anywhere on the screen by using the arrows to move the cursor and then typing. Don't forget to press [2nd][ALPHA] before typing letters.

How do you delete programs off of the TI-83?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Turn the calculator on and press 2nd, + (MEM), 2:Delete, 7:Prgm. This shows a list of all programs with the cursor pointed at the first one. Use the up- or down-arrow keys to place the cursor in front of the one you want to delete, then press ENTER. Repeat for all programs that are to be deleted. Turn the calculator on and press 2nd, + (MEM), 2:Delete, 7:Prgm. This shows a list of all programs with the cursor pointed at the first one. Use the up- or down-arrow keys to place the cursor in front of the one you want to delete, then press DEL. The calculator will then ask if you're sure you want to delete, so press 2:Yes. Repeat for all programs that are to be deleted.

How do you play games on a TI-84 Plus Calculator?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you don't have games already installed on the calculator, you need to install them. If you already have them on your calculator, you need to go to the PRGM button, and if it is not there, go to the APPS button. If it is not either place, go to 2nd, MEM (above either the plus sign or minus sign), Groups, and then press the right arrow key to end up at UNGROUP. Go down to the game that you put on your calculator and hit Enter. Then the game should install on your calculator. If you don't have the game installed on your calculator already, follow the directions below: First you download the game from a website, such as ticalc.org, read the readme if it came with one, and then you send it to your calculator. To send it to your calculator, you connect the calculator to your computer with a black cable that came with the calculator. Then you make sure the calculator is turned on, and right-click the files that you downloaded. Go to Send this file to TI device... and when the window opens, click Send. If you don't see Send this file to TI device... when you right-click the game, then you don't have TI Connect installed. Either download it from education.ti.com, or install it from the CD that came with the calculator. Questions, see education.ti.com.

You open your Apps, which should be the purple button, and then you open inequalz, from there you can put in your inequalities and then hit graph and it will come up on screen.

How do you get rid of error invalid dim on ti84?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This is probably because one of your stat plots is trying to use two lists that aren't the same length. If you are not using stat plots, then press Y= and deselect all the plots at the top. (For example, to deselect Plot1, press the up arrow key until it is highlighted and then press ENTER.)

If you are using stats plots, check to make sure that the lists being used are the same length and that they have at least one item in them. (You can see what lists are being used and set what lists are being used by pressing 2ND STAT PLOT [above Y=]. You can edit lists by pressing STAT and then selecting Edit...)

The invalid dimension error can also happen if you try to invert a matrix that is not a square matrix, (for example, a matrix with dimensions 2 x 3). Matrices can only be invented if they are square (for example, a matrix with dimensions 3 x 3).

What does archived on a TI83 mean?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I'll assume you mean TI-83+, as the TI-83 cannot archive programs. On the TI-83+, archived means that a program, list, equation, picture, or other item is stored in the calculator's Flash memory instead of its RAM. This can be used so that the item does not get erased when the RAM is cleared, or to reclaim free RAM for other programs and files. However, archived items cannot be executed or modified, so they must be unarchived first.

How do you enter a variable in a TI-84 plus calculator?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

To enter an equation variable, (for example X when you are in function mode, or theta when you are polar mode), press the X, T, θ, n button.

To enter a different variable, press ALPHA and then the letter of the variable. For example, to enter the variable C, press ALHPA C (above PRGM). These non-equation variables act as constants. To set the value of constant C to 3, for example, enter 3

-> C and press ENTER. (The arrow is the STO> button).

How do you graph the equation y equals x plus 2 on a TI-84 Plus calculator?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Press the Y= button and type 'X+2' (not the quotes) next to Y1 (or any other Y will work). Then press GRAPH.

(To type X, press the X,T,θ,n button. If you don't see Y1= when you press Y=, press MODE and select FUNC, then try again.)

How do you use the Random Number Generator on a TI-84 Calculator?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are many random functions on a TI-84 calculator. Find them by pressing MATH, and choosing PRB at the top.

Use rand to generate a random number between 0 and 1.

Example; to generate a random number between 0 and 1, type:

rand

Use randInt( to generate a random integer between 2 integers (inclusive))

Example; to generate a random integer between 1 and 10 (including 1 and 10), type:

randInt(1,10)

Use randNorm( to generate a random number that is close to a certain number.

randNorm(x,y) will generate a number that is 95% certain to be within 2*y of x.

Example; to generate a random number that is 95% certain to be with 2*(.01) of 7, type:

randNorm(7,.01)

Use randBin( to simulate a certain number of trials based on their success rate.

randBin(x,y) will generate the number of trials of success rate y that succeeded if x trials were run. y must be a percent written as a decimal, so it must be between 0 and 1.

Example; to simulate how many trials will succeed if 50 trials are run with a success rate of 75%, type

randBin(50,.75)

An additional number can be added to tell the calculator to generate more than 1 number and put them in a list. These will run the command 5 times and make a list:

rand(5)

randInt(2,9,5)

randNorm(4,.1,5)

randBin(30,.25,5)

How do you find intersection points on TI84 calculator?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Graph the two lines or equations you want to find the intersection of. Then adjust the window so that you can see the intersection point. (If you don't know where it is, try pressing ZOOM and choosing ZoomFit.) Then press 2ND CALC (above TRACE) and choose option 5, intersect. Use the up and down arrows to select the first equation you want to find the intersection point on, and press ENTER. Do the same thing for the second equation. The calculator will now say "Guess?". Use the left and right arrows to move the x-like shape as close to the intersection point as possible, then press ENTER. The calculator will tell you the intersection point and the bottom of the screen.

If you get a NO SIGN CHNG error, then it might be because the intersection point is not on the screen. Change the window so that you can see the intersection point and try again. Also, make sure that your guess is somewhat close to the intersection point.

What is breaket function?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I suspect that you mean the function that is also called the floor function.

The floor function of x, floor(x) is the maximum integer that does not exceed x.

Instances:

  • floor (-5.3) = -6
  • floor (-2) = -2
  • floor ( -1.3 ) = -2
  • floor ( 0 ) = 0
  • floor ( 1.5 ) = 1
  • floor ( 21.4 ) = 21

For a graph you might wish to see the wikipedia article.
