Using Graphing Calculators


 * Tip 1: Equations of One Variable **

Algebra - rational equation - TI-84 – example (You solve it first, then check the correctness of the answer)

 * Notes: to find nSolve function, go to “home menu” by click top right “on” button, move your cursor to highlight “+ - x /” icon (on the screen, bottom left 1st icon), this will open a scratch pad. At this point, click “menu” button (the 3rd button from top on the right column of your key pad), choose “3: Algebra”, then “1: Numerical Solve”, you will have the nSolve function. Now input your equation, the calculator will solve it for you.**


 * TI-84/83 user, to find your Solver function, instead of nSolve, water the following video:**

Reporting Category 1: Functional Relationships: The student will describe functional relationships in a variety of ways. (A.1) The student understands that a function represents a dependence of one quantity on another and can be described in a variety of ways.

(A) Identify independent and dependent variables

(B) gather and record data and use data sets to determine functional relationships between quantities; Supporting Standard

(C) describe functional relationships for given problem situations and write equations or inequalities to answer questions; Supporting Standard

(D) represent relationships among quantities using models, tables, graphs, diagrams, verbal descriptions, equations, and inequalities; and Readiness Standard

(E) interpret and make decisions, predictions, and critical judgments from functional relationships. Readiness Standard
