Basic Math - Graphing with a Ti-83 or Ti-84 Calculator

  • In this video I take the Ti-84 graphing calculator and show you the basics of how to graph equations. Specifically I cover how to:
    store equations
    adjust the window size
    view the graph
    trace or evaluate points.
    This should give you everything you need to start graphing equations of your own. Note these steps also work for the Ti-83 graphing calculator. If you would like to see more of my math videos, please visit www.mysecretmathtutor.com

      In high school we were encouraged to only use a scientific calculator and weren't allowed a graphical calculator during exams. I'm now in college and this is still the case. (EE student)
      Though if I really need it, I just use the desmos website for sine graphs and such, like the other commenter said.

      Had the same issue. Quick google search fixed it: If you are trying to graph on your TI83/84 and you get the INVALID DIM error, then this usually means your PLOT is turned on. ... A good rule of thumb is, anytime you are using the STATPLOT, be sure to turn OFF your PLOT when you are finished. That way you will avoid the INVALID DIM Error in the future

    However, how would you find the intersection of two separate equations?

    • @MySecretMathTutor
      @MySecretMathTutor  3 роки тому +5

      Excellent question! Start by graphing them both in the Y= screen.
      When they are both entered in, go to your graph screen.
      You should be able to see where the two cross, but if not adjust your window size
      Now press [2nd] [Trace] to bring up the calc menu for graphs. There you will find an option to calculate the intersection.
      For this you'll select a point to the left, and right of the intersection, as well as make a "guess" where they cross. The calculator will do the rest. :^D

    I'm confused. I have a TI-83 Plus and when I graph the second equation after setting my window range to 6 as you did, it actually shows up immediately without having to enlarge the window again. My equation looks the exact same as yours, but the graph looks completely different. EDIT: Wait a minute, I just cleared it from the second Y and put it in the first one and now it looks correct. WTF is happening? Now I just redid it the exact same way as the first time, with the first equation and then the second one exactly as you have it and now it appears correctly. I have no idea why it looked weird the first time. It was coming down from the upper left quadrant towards 1 on the y-axis and not moving up to the right from 20 on the x-axis. Not sure what happened, but I hope it doesn't happen again.

    I've had my calculator for years but I never learned to use the graphing function even though it's the hardest and most tedious part of math.

    I changed the window parameters, to see how it worked, and now when I try to graph it says I need to edit the window range... edit to what?? I've put random numbers

      Double check to see that the min is less than the max on the window.
      Another thing to check is if you have used the negative sign or the minus sign. In my experience, both of these are common problems when setting the window size. :^D

    How come my root 3 goes to the power while yours just shows the root sign then the 3?

    How to check value for y=0?

    • @stephenjones6472
      @stephenjones6472 6 років тому +1

      One method would be to guess and check. In both equations he's used, we know that when x=0, y=0. Or, better yet, manually, anyway, plug in "0" for y into your equation and then solve for x.
