In the body of this guidebook, TI-84 Plus refers to the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition, but all of the instructions, examples, and functions in this guidebook also work for the TI-84 Plus. The two graphing calculators differ only in available RAM memory, interchangeable faceplates, and Flash application ROM memory. Sometimes, as in Chapter 19, the full name TI-84 Plus Silver Edition is used to distinguish it from the TI-84 Plus.
Screen shots were taken using OS version 2.53MP and higher in either MathPrint™ or Classic mode. All features are available in both modes; however, screens make look slightly different depending on the mode setting. Many examples highlight features that are not available in previous OS versions. If your calculator does not have the latest OS, features may not be available and your screens may look different. You can download the latest OS from education.ti.com.
A new MODE menu item, STAT WIZARDS is available with OS version 2.55MP for syntax entry help for commands and functions in the STAT CALC menu, DISTR DISTR menu, DISTR DRAW menu and the seq( function (sequence) in the LIST OPS menu. When selecting a supported statistics command, regression or distribution with the STAT WIZARDS setting ON: (the default setting) a syntax help (wizard) screen is displayed. The wizard allows the entry of required and optional arguments. The function or command will paste with the entered arguments to the Home Screen history or in most other locations where the cursor is available for input. If a command or function is accessed from [CATALOG] the command or function will paste without wizard support. Run the Catalog Help application ([APPS]) for more syntax help when needed.
Generally, the keyboard is divided into these zones: graphing keys, editing keys, advanced function keys, and scientific calculator keys.
Graphing — Graphing keys access the interactive graphing features. The third function of these keys ([ALPHA] [F1] [F4]) displays the shortcut menus, which include templates for fractions, n/d, quick matrix entry, and some of the functions found on the MATH and VARS menus.
Editing — Editing keys allow you to edit expressions and values.
Advanced — Advanced function keys display menus that access the advanced functions.
Scientific — Scientific calculator keys access the capabilities of a standard scientific calculator.
Graphing Keys are in the top row.
Editing Keys are in the second and third rows.
Advanced Function
Keys are in the fourth row.
Scientific Calculator Keys are in rows five through ten.
The keys on the TI-84 Plus are color-coded to help you easily locate the key you need.
The light colored keys are the number keys. The keys along the right side of the keyboard are the common math functions. The keys across the top set up and display graphs. The [APPS] key provides access to applications such as the Inequality Graphing, Transformation Graphing, Conic Graphing, Polynomial Root Finder and Simultaneous Equation Solver, and Catalog Help.
The primary function of each key is printed on the keys. For example, when you press [MATH], the
MATH menu is displayed.
Using the [2nd] and [ALPHA] Keys
The secondary function of each key is printed above the key. When you press the [2nd] key, the character, abbreviation, or word printed above the other keys becomes active for the next keystroke. For example, when you press [2nd] and then [MATH], the TEST menu is displayed. This guidebook describes this keystroke combination as [2nd] [TEST].
Many keys also have a third function. These functions are printed above the keys in the same color as the [ALPHA] key. The third functions enter alphabetic characters and special symbols as well as access SOLVE and shortcut menus. For example, when you press [ALPHA] and then [MATH], the letter A is entered. This guidebook describes this keystroke combination as [ALPHA] [A].
If you want to enter several alphabetic characters in a row, you can press [2nd] [A-LOCK] to lock the alpha key in the On position and avoid having to press [ALPHA] multiple times. Press [ALPHA] a second time to unlock it.
Note: The flashing
cursor changes to Reverse A when you press [ALPHA],
even if you are
accessing a function or a menu.
Second row, first key is [2nd]
Accesses the second
function printed above
each key.
Third row, first key is [ALPHA]
Accesses the third function printed
above each key.
[ALPHA] and top row keys one through
four [F1]-[F4] Access shortcut menus for
functionality including templates for fractions, n/d, and other functions.
To turn on the TI-84 Plus, press [ON]. An information screen displays reminding you that you can press [ALPHA] [F1] - [F4] to display the shortcut menus. This message also displays when you reset RAM.
⯈ To continue but not see this information screen again, press 1.
⯈ To continue
and see this information screen again the next time you turn on the TI-84 Plus, press 2.
•
If
you previously had turned off the graphing
calculator by pressing
[2nd] [OFF], the TI-84 Plus displays the home screen as it was
when you last used it and clears any error. (The information screen displays
first, unless you chose not to see it again.) If the home screen is blank,
press [up
key] to scroll through the history of previous calculations.
•
If
Automatic Power Down™
(APD™) had previously turned off the graphing calculator, the TI-84 Plus will return exactly
as you left it, including
the display, cursor,
and any error.
•
If
the TI-84 Plus is turned
off and connected to another
graphing calculator or personal
computer, any communication activity will “wake up” the TI-84 Plus.
To prolong the life of the batteries, APD™ turns off the TI-84 Plus automatically after about five minutes without any activity.
To turn off the TI-84 Plus manually, press [2nd] [OFF].
•
All settings and memory contents
are retained by the Constant
Memory™ function.
•
Any error condition is cleared.
The TI-84 Plus uses five batteries: four AAA alkaline batteries and one button cell backup battery. The backup battery provides auxiliary power to retain memory while you replace the AAA batteries. To replace batteries without losing any information stored in memory, follow the steps in Appendix C.
You can adjust the display contrast to suit your viewing angle and lighting conditions. As you change the contrast setting, a number from 0 (lightest) to 9 (darkest) in the top-right corner indicates the current level. You may not be able to see the number if contrast is too light or too dark.
Note: The TI-84 Plus has 40 contrast settings, so each number 0 through 9 represents four settings.
The TI-84 Plus retains the contrast setting in memory when it is turned off. To adjust the contrast, follow these steps.
⯈ Press [2nd] [up key] to darken the screen one level at a time.
⯈ Press [2nd] [down key] to lighten the screen one level at a time.
Note: If you adjust the contrast setting to 0, the display may become completely blank. To restore the screen, press [2nd] [up key] until the display reappears.
When the batteries are low, a low-battery message is displayed when you turn on the graphing calculator.
To replace the batteries without losing any information in memory, follow the steps in Appendix C.
Generally, the graphing calculator will continue to operate for one or two weeks after the low- battery message is first displayed. After this period, the TI-84 Plus will turn off automatically and the unit will not operate. Batteries must be replaced. All memory should be retained.
Note:
•
The operating period following
the first low-battery message could be longer than two weeks if
you use the graphing calculator infrequently.
•
Always replace batteries
before attempting to install a new operating system.
The TI-84 Plus displays both text and graphs. Chapter 3 describes graphs. Chapter 9 describes how the TI-84 Plus can display a horizontally or vertically split screen to show graphs and text simultaneously.
The home screen is the primary screen of the TI-84 Plus. On this screen, enter instructions to execute and expressions to evaluate. The answers are displayed on the same screen. Most calculations are stored in the history on the home screen. You can press [up key] and [down key] to scroll through the history of entries on the home screen and you can paste the entries or answers to the current entry line.
•
When text is displayed, the TI-84
Plus screen can display a maximum of 8 lines with a maximum of 16 characters per line in Classic mode. In MathPrint™ mode, fewer lines and
fewer characters per line may be displayed.
•
If all lines of the display are full, text scrolls off the top of the display.
-
To view previous
entries and answers,
press [up key].
-
To
copy a previous entry or answer and paste it to the current entry line, move the cursor to the entry or answer you want to
copy and press [ENTER].
Note: List and matrix outputs cannot be copied. If you try to copy and paste a list or matrix output, the cursor returns to the input line.
•
If an expression on the home
screen, the Y= editor (Chapter 3), or the program editor (Chapter 16) is longer
than one line, it wraps to the beginning of the next line in Classic mode. In MathPrint™ mode, an expression on
the home screen or Y= editor that is longer than one line scrolls off the
screen to the right. An arrow on the right side of the screen indicates that
you can scroll right to see more of the expression. In numeric editors such as
the window screen (Chapter 3), a long expression scrolls to the right and left
in both Classic and MathPrint™ modes. Press [2nd] [right key] to
move the cursor to the end of the line. Press [2nd] [left key] to
move the cursor to the beginning of the line.
When an entry is executed on the home screen, the answer is displayed on the right side of the next line.
The entry is displayed
first.
The answer is displayed on the right side of the next
line.
The mode settings control the way the TI-84 Plus interprets expressions and displays answers.
If an answer, such as a list or matrix, is too long to display entirely on one line, an arrow (MathPrint™) or an ellipsis (Classic) is displayed to the right or left. Press [right key] and [left key] to display the answer.

variables from the VARS Y-VARS menu.
Initially, the menus are hidden. To open a menu, press [ALPHA] plus the F-key that corresponds to the menu, that is, [F1] for FRAC, [F2] for FUNC, [F3] for MTRX, or [F4] for YVAR. To select a menu item, either press the number corresponding to the item, or use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the appropriate line and then press [ENTER].
All shortcut menu items except matrix templates can also be selected using standard menus. For example, you can choose the summation template from three places:
FUNC shortcut menu
MATH MATH menu
Catalog
The shortcut menus are available to use where input is allowed. If the calculator is in Classic mode, or if a screen is displayed that does not support MathPrint™ display, entries will be displayed in Classic display. The MTRX menu is only available in MathPrint™ mode on the home screen and in the Y = editor.
Note: Shortcut menus may not be available if [ALPHA] plus F-key combinations are used by an application that is running, such as Inequality Graphing or Transformation Graphing.
To return to the home screen from any other screen, press [2nd] [QUIT].
When the TI-84 Plus is calculating or graphing, a vertical moving line is displayed as a busy indicator in the top-right corner of the screen. When you pause a graph or a program, the busy indicator becomes a vertical moving dotted line.
In most cases, the appearance of the cursor indicates what will happen when you press the next key or select the next menu item to be pasted as a character.

To create an expression, you enter numbers, variables, and functions using the keyboard and menus. An expression is completed when you press [ENTER], regardless of the cursor location. The entire expression is evaluated according to Equation Operating System (EOS™) rules, and the answer is displayed according to the mode setting for Answer.
Most TI-84 Plus functions and operations are symbols comprising several characters. You must enter the symbol from the keyboard or a menu; do not spell it out. For example, to calculate the log of 45, you must press [LOG] 45. Do not enter the letters L, O, and G. If you enter L O G, the
TI-84 Plus interprets the entry as implied multiplication of the variables L, O, and G.

When you enter a number in scientific notation, the TI-84 Plus does not automatically display answers in scientific or engineering notation. The mode settings and the size of the number determine the display format.
A function returns a value. For example, division, subtraction, addition, square root, and log( are the functions in the example on the previous page. In general, the first letter of each function is lowercase on the TI-84 Plus. Most functions take at least one argument, as indicated by an open parenthesis following the name. For example, sin( requires one argument, sin(value).
An instruction initiates an action. For example, ClrDraw is an instruction that clears any drawn elements from a graph. Instructions cannot be used in expressions. In general, the first letter of each instruction name is uppercase. Some instructions take more than one argument, as indicated by an open parenthesis at the end of the name. For example, Circle( requires three arguments, Circle(X, Y, radius).

Notation modes only affect the way an answer is displayed on the home screen. Numeric answers can be displayed with up to 10 digits and a two-digit exponent and as fractions. You can enter a number in any format.
Normal notation mode is the usual way we express numbers, with digits to the left and right of the decimal, as in 12345.67.
Sci (scientific) notation mode expresses numbers in two parts. The significant digits display with one digit to the left of the decimal. The appropriate power of 10 displays to the right of E, as in 1.234567E4.
Eng (engineering) notation mode is similar to scientific notation. However, the number can have one, two, or three digits before the decimal; and the power-of-10 exponent is a multiple of three, as in 12.34567E3.
Note: If you select Normal notation, but the answer cannot display in 10 digits (or the absolute value is less than .001), the TI-84 Plus expresses the answer in scientific notation.
Float (floating) decimal mode displays up to 10 digits, plus the sign and decimal.
0123456789 (fixed) decimal mode specifies the number of digits (0 through 9) to display to the right of the decimal for decimal answers.
The decimal setting applies to Normal, Sci, and Eng notation modes.
The decimal setting applies to these numbers, with respect to the Answer mode setting:
•
An answer displayed on the home screen
•
Coordinates on a graph (Chapters 3, 4, 5, and 6)
•
The Tangent( DRAW instruction equation of the line, x, and dy/dx values (Chapter
8)
•
Results of CALCULATE
operations (Chapters 3, 4, 5, and 6)
•
The regression equation
stored after the execution of a regression model (Chapter 12)
Angle modes control how the TI-84 Plus interprets angle values in trigonometric functions and polar/rectangular conversions.
Radian mode interprets angle values as radians. Answers display in radians.
Degree mode interprets angle values as degrees. Answers display in degrees.
Graphing modes define the graphing parameters. Chapters 3, 4, 5, and 6 describe these modes in detail.
Func (function) graphing mode plots functions, where Y is a function of X (Chapter 3).
Par (parametric) graphing mode plots relations, where X and Y are functions of T (Chapter 4).
Pol (polar) graphing mode plots functions, where r is a function of theta (Chapter 5).
Seq (sequence) graphing mode plots sequences (Chapter 6).
Connected plotting mode draws a line connecting each point calculated for the selected functions.
Dot plotting mode plots only the calculated points of the selected functions.
Sequential graphing-order mode evaluates and plots one function completely before the next function is evaluated and plotted.
Simul (simultaneous) graphing-order mode evaluates and plots all selected functions for a single value of X and then evaluates and plots them for the next value of X.
Note: Regardless of which graphing mode is selected, the TI-84 Plus will sequentially graph all stat plots before it graphs any functions.
Real, a+bi, re^theta i
Real mode does not display complex results unless complex numbers are entered as input. Two complex modes display complex results.
•
a+bi (rectangular complex
mode) displays complex
numbers in the form a+bi.
•
re^theta i (polar complex
mode) displays complex
numbers in the form re^theta i.
Note: When you use the n/d template, both n and d must be real numbers. For example, you can
enter
(the answer is displayed as a decimal
value) but if you enter
, a data type error
displays. To perform division with a complex
number in the numerator or denominator, use regular
division instead of the n/d template.

Horiz (horizontal) mode displays the current graph on the top half of the screen; it displays the home screen or an editor on the bottom
half (Chapter 9).
•
G-T (graph-table) mode displays the current graph on the left half of the screen; it displays the table screen on the right half
(Chapter 9).
MathPrint™ mode displays most inputs and outputs the way they are shown in textbooks, such as
2
-1- + -3- and òx2dx .
2 4
1
Classic mode displays expressions and answers as if written on one line, such as 1/2 + 3/4.
Note: If you switch between these modes, most entries will be preserved; however matrix calculations will not be preserved.
n/d displays results as a simple fraction. Fractions may contain a maximum of six digits in the numerator; the value of the denominator may not exceed 9999.
Un/d displays results as a mixed number, if applicable. U, n, and d must be all be integers. If U is a non-integer, the result may be converted U * n/d. If n or d is a non-integer, a syntax error is displayed. The whole number, numerator, and denominator may each contain a maximum of three digits.
Auto displays answers in a similar format as the input. For example, if a fraction is entered in an expression, the answer will be in fraction form, if possible. If a decimal appears in the expression, the output will be a decimal number.
Dec displays answers as integers or decimal numbers.
Frac displays answers as fractions, if possible.
Note: The Answers mode setting also affects how values in sequences, lists, and tables are displayed. Choose Dec or Frac to ensure that values are displayed in either decimal or fraction form. You can also convert values from decimal to fraction or fraction to decimal using the FRAC shortcut menu or the MATH menu.
No does not display the FORMAT graph screen, but can always be accessed by pressing
[2nd][FORMAT].
Yes leaves the mode screen and displays the FORMAT graph screen when you press [ENTER] so that you can change the graph format settings. To return to the mode screen, press [MODE].
Off displays a statistical regression calculation without the correlation coefficient (r) or the coefficient of determination (r2).
On displays a statistical regression calculation with the correlation coefficient (r), and the coefficient of determination (r2), as appropriate.
On: Selection of menu items in STAT CALC, DISTR DISTR, DISTR DRAW and seq( in LIST OPS displays a screen which provides syntax help (wizard) for the entry of required and optional arguments into the command or function. The function or command will paste the entered arguments to the Home Screen history or to most other locations where the cursor is available for input. Some calculations will compute directly from the wizard. If a command or function is accessed from [CATALOG] the command or function will paste without wizard support. Run the Catalog Help application ([APPS]) for more syntax help when needed.
Off: The function or command will paste to the cursor location with no syntax help (wizard)
Use the clock to set the time, date, and clock display formats.

The Equation Operating System (EOS™) defines the order in which functions in expressions are entered and evaluated on the TI-84 Plus. EOS™ lets you enter numbers and functions in a simple, straightforward sequence.
EOS™ evaluates the functions in an expression in this order.
Order Number
Function
1
Functions that precede
the argument, such as square root, sin(, or log(
2
Functions that are entered
after the argument,
such as superscript 2,
superscript -1, !, °,
superscript r,
and conversions
3
Powers and roots, such as 25 or 5x
4
Permutations (nPr) and combinations (nCr)
5
Multiplication, implied multiplication, and division
6
Addition and subtraction
7
Relational functions, such as > (greater than)
or < (less than or equal to)
8
Logic operator and
9
Logic operators or and xor
Note: Within a priority level, EOS™ evaluates functions from left to right. Calculations within parentheses are evaluated first.
The TI-84 Plus recognizes implied multiplication, so you need not press [multiplication key] to express multiplication in all cases. For example, the TI-84 Plus interprets 2 pi, 4sin(46), 5(1+2), and (2*5)7 as implied multiplication.
Note: TI-84 Plus implied multiplication rules, although like the TI-83, differ from those of the TI-82. For example, the TI-84 Plus evaluates 1/2X as (1/2)*X, while the TI-82 evaluates 1/2X as 1/(2*X) (Chapter 2).
All calculations inside a pair of parentheses are completed first. For example, in the expression 4(1+2), EOS first evaluates the portion inside the parentheses, 1+2, and then multiplies the answer, 3, by 4.
![]()
To enter a negative number, use the negation key. Press [open paren negative close paren] and then enter the number. On the TI-84 Plus, negation is in the third level in the EOS™ hierarchy.
Functions in the first level, such as squaring, are evaluated before negation.
Example: –X squared, evaluates to a negative number (or 0). Use parentheses to square a negative number.
![]()
![]()
Note: Use the [subtract] key for subtraction and the [open paren negative close paren] key for negation. If you press [subtract] to enter a negative number, as in 9 [multiplication key] [subtraction key] 7, or if you press [open paren negative close paren] to indicate subtraction, as in 9 [open paren negative close paren] 7, an error occurs. If you press [ALPHA] A [open paren negative close paren] [ALPHA] B, it is interpreted as implied multiplication (A*-B).

Radian mode is recommended for complex number calculations. Internally, the TI-84 Plus converts all entered trigonometric values to radians, but it does not convert values for exponential, logarithmic, or hyperbolic functions.
In degree mode, complex identities such as e^(itheta) = cos(theta) + i sin(theta) are not generally true because the values for cos and sin are converted to radians, while those for e^() are not. For example, e^(i45) = cos(45) + i sin(45) is treated internally as e^(i45) = cos(pi/4) + i sin(pi/4).
Complex identities are always true in radian mode.
Complex numbers in results, including list elements, are displayed in either rectangular or polar form, as specified by the mode setting or by a display conversion instruction. In the example below, polar-complex (re^thetai) and Radian modes are set.

If you enter a list (Chapter 11) as an element in an expression, the TI-84 Plus plots the function for each value in the list, thereby graphing a family of curves. In Simul graphing-order mode, it graphs all functions sequentially for the first element in each list, and then for the second, and so on.

When a graph is displayed, press [left key], [right key], [up key], or [down key] to move the cursor around the graph. When you first display the graph, no cursor is visible. When you press [left key], [right key], [up key], or [down key], the cursor moves from the center of the viewing window.
As you move the cursor around the graph, the coordinate values of the cursor location are displayed at the bottom of the screen if CoordOn format is selected. The Float/Fix decimal mode setting determines the number of decimal digits displayed for the coordinate values.
To display the graph with no cursor and no coordinate values, press [CLEAR] or [ENTER]. When you press [left key], [right key], [up key], or [down key], the cursor moves from the same position.
The free-moving cursor moves from pixel to pixel on the screen. When you move the cursor to a pixel that appears to be on the function, the cursor may be near, but not actually on, the function. The coordinate value displayed at the bottom of the screen actually may not be a point on the function. To move the cursor along a function, use [TRACE].
The coordinate values displayed as you move the cursor approximate actual math coordinates, accurate to within the width and height of the pixel. As Xmin, Xmax, Ymin, and Ymax get closer together (as in a Zoom In) graphing accuracy increases, and the coordinate values more closely approximate the math coordinates.
Free-
moving cursor appears to be on the curve
Use TRACE to move the cursor from one plotted point to the next along a function. To begin a trace, press [TRACE]. If the graph is not displayed already, press [TRACE] to display it. The trace cursor is on the first selected function in the Y= editor, at the middle X value on the screen. The cursor coordinates are displayed at the bottom of the screen if CoordOn format is selected. The Y= expression is displayed in the top-left corner of the screen, if ExprOn format is selected.
To
move the TRACE cursor do this:
To the previous
or next plotted

[ENTER]. From one function to
another, press [up key] or [down key].
When the trace cursor moves along a function, the Y value is calculated from the X value; that is,
Y=Yn(X). If the function is undefined at an X value, the Y value is blank.
Trace cursor
on the curve
If you move the trace cursor beyond the top or bottom of the screen, the coordinate values at the bottom of the screen continue to change appropriately.
To move the trace cursor from function to function, press [down key] and [up key]. The cursor follows the order of the selected functions in the Y= editor. The trace cursor moves to each function at the same X value. If ExprOn format is selected, the expression is updated.
To move the trace cursor to any valid X value on the current function, enter the value. When you enter the first digit, an X= prompt and the number you entered are displayed in the bottom-left corner of the screen. You can enter an expression at the X= prompt. The value must be valid for the current viewing window. When you have completed the entry, press [ENTER] to move the cursor.

Note: This feature does not apply to stat plots.
If you trace a function beyond the left or right side of the screen, the viewing window automatically pans to the left or right. Xmin and Xmax are updated to correspond to the new viewing window.
While tracing, you can press [ENTER] to adjust the viewing window so that the cursor location becomes the center of the new viewing window, even if the cursor is above or below the display. This allows panning up and down. After Quick Zoom, the cursor remains in TRACE.
When you leave and return to TRACE, the trace cursor is displayed in the same location it was in when you left TRACE, unless Smart Graph has replotted the graph.
On a blank line in the program editor, press [TRACE]. The instruction Trace is pasted to the cursor location. When the instruction is encountered during program execution, the graph is displayed with the trace cursor on the first selected function. As you trace, the cursor coordinate values are updated. When you finish tracing the functions, press [ENTER] to resume program execution.
To display the ZOOM menu, press [ZOOM]. You can adjust the viewing window of the graph quickly in several ways. All ZOOM instructions are accessible from programs.

The value must be valid for the current viewing window. When you complete the entry, press [ENTER] to move the cursor.
ZOOM operations in Pol graphing work the same as in Func graphing. Only the X (Xmin, Xmax, and
Xscl) and Y
(Ymin, Ymax, and Yscl) window
variables are affected.
The theta window variables (thetamin, thetamax, and thetastep) are not affected, except when you select ZStandard. The VARS ZOOM secondary menu ZT/Ztheta items 4:Zthetamin, 5:Zthetamax, and 6:Zthetastep are zoom memory variables for Pol graphing.
CALC operations in Pol graphing
work the same as in Func graphing. The CALCULATE menu
items available in Pol graphing are 1:value, 2:dy/dx, and 3:dr/dtheta.

forest stabilize? With how many trees?
The steps for defining a sequence graph are similar to the steps for defining a function graph. Chapter 6 assumes that you are familiar with Chapter 3: Function Graphing. Chapter 6 details aspects of sequence graphing that differ from function graphing.
To display the mode screen, press [MODE]. To graph sequence functions, you must select Seq graphing mode before you enter window variables and before you enter sequence functions.
Sequence graphs automatically plot in Simul mode, regardless of the current plotting-order mode setting.
The TI-84 Plus has three sequence functions that you can enter from the keyboard: u, v, and w. They are second functions of the [7], [8], and [9] keys. Press [2nd] [u] to enter u, for example.
You can define sequence functions in terms of:
•
The independent variable
n
•
The previous term in the sequence function, such as u(n-1)
•
The term that precedes the previous term in the sequence function, such as u(n-2)
•
The previous term or the term that precedes
the previous term in another
sequence function, such as u(n-1) or u(n-2) referenced
in the sequence v(n).
Note: Statements in this chapter
about u(n) are also true for v(n) and w(n); statements about u(n-1)
are also true for v(n-1) and w(n-1); statements about u(n-2) are also true for v(n-2) and w(n-2).
After selecting Seq mode, press [Y=] to display the sequence Y= editor.
_files/image518.gif)
In this editor, you can display and enter sequences for u(n), v(n), and w(n). Also, you can edit the value for nMin, which is the sequence window variable that defines the minimum n value to evaluate.
The sequence Y= editor displays the nMin value because of its relevance to u(nMin), v(nMin), and
w(nMin), which are the initial values for the sequence equations u(n), v(n), and w(n), respectively.
nMin in the Y= editor is the same as nMin in the window editor. If you enter a new value for nMin in one editor, the new value for nMin is updated in both editors.
Note: Use u(nMin), v(nMin), or w(nMin) only with a recursive sequence, which requires
an initial value.
The icons to the left of u(n), v(n), and w(n) represent the graph style of each sequence (Chapter 3). The default in Seq mode is dot, which shows discrete values. Dot, line, and thick styles are available for sequence graphing. Graph styles are ignored in Web format.
The TI-84 Plus graphs only the selected sequence functions. In the Y= editor, a sequence function is selected when the = signs of both u(n)= and u(nMin)= are highlighted.
To change the selection status of a sequence function, move the cursor onto the = sign of the function name, and then press [ENTER]. The status is changed for both the sequence function u(n) and its initial value u(nMin).
To define or edit a sequence function, follow the steps in Chapter 3 for defining a function. The independent variable in a sequence is n.
In Seq graphing mode, you can enter the sequence variable in either of two ways.
•
Press [X,T, theta, n].
•
Press [2nd] [CATALOG] [N].
You can enter the function name from the keyboard ([2nd] [u], [2nd] [v], [2nd] [w]).
Generally, sequences are either nonrecursive or recursive. Sequences are evaluated only at consecutive integer values. n is always a series of consecutive integers, starting at zero or any positive integer.
In a nonrecursive sequence, the nth term is a function of the independent variable n. Each term is independent of all other terms.
For example, in the nonrecursive sequence below, you can calculate u(5) directly, without first calculating u(1) or any previous term.
![]()
The sequence equation above returns the sequence 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, … for n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, … .
Note: You may leave blank the initial value u(nMin) when calculating nonrecursive sequences.
In
a recursive sequence, the nth term in the sequence
is defined in relation to the previous
term or the term that precedes the previous term, represented by u(n-1)
and u(n-2). A recursive sequence may also be defined in relation to n, as in u(n)=u(n-1)+n.
For example, in the sequence below you cannot calculate u(5) without first calculating u(1), u(2), u(3), and u(4).
![]()
Using an initial value u(nMin) = 1, the sequence above returns 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ... .
Note: On the TI-84 Plus, you must type each character of the terms. For example, to enter u(n-1), press [2nd] [u] [(][X,T, theta, n][-][1][)].
Recursive sequences require an initial value or values, since they reference undefined terms.
•
If
each term in the sequence
is defined in relation to the previous
term, as in u(n-1), you must
specify an initial value for the first term.
![]()
•
If
each term in the sequence
is defined in relation to the term that precedes
the previous term, as in u(n-2),
you must specify initial values for the first two terms. Enter the initial
values as a list enclosed in brackets { } with commas separating the values.
![]()
The value of the first term is 0 and the value of the second term is 1 for the sequence u(n).
To display the window variables, press [WINDOW]. These variables define the viewing window. The values below are defaults for Seq graphing in both Radian and Degree angle modes.
nMin=1 Smallest n value to evaluate
nMax=10 Largest n value to evaluate PlotStart=1 First term number to be plotted PlotStep=1 Incremental n value (for graphing only) Xmin=-10 Smallest X value to be displayed
Xmax=10 Largest X value to be
displayed
Xscl=1 Spacing between the X tick marks
Ymin=-10 Smallest Y value to be
displayed
Ymax=10 Largest Y value to be
displayed
Yscl=1 Spacing between the Y tick marks
nMin must be an integer
> (greater than or equal to) 0. nMax, PlotStart, and PlotStep must be integers > (greater
than or equal to) 1.
nMin is the smallest n value to evaluate. nMin also is displayed in the sequence
Y=
editor. nMax is
the largest n value to evaluate. Sequences are evaluated at u(nMin),
u(nMin+1),
u(nMin+2),
... , u(nMax).
PlotStart is the first term to be plotted. PlotStart=1 begins plotting on the first term in the sequence. If you want plotting to begin with the fifth term in a sequence, for example, set PlotStart=5. The first four terms are evaluated but are not plotted on the graph.
PlotStep is the incremental n value for graphing only. PlotStep does not affect sequence evaluation; it only designates which points are plotted on the graph. If you specify PlotStep=2, the sequence is evaluated at each consecutive integer, but it is plotted on the graph only at every other integer.
To display the current graph format settings, press [2nd] [FORMAT]. Chapter 3 describes the format settings in detail. The other graphing modes share these format settings. The axes setting on the top line of the screen is available only in Seq mode.

To plot the selected sequence functions, press [GRAPH]. As a graph is plotted, the TI-84 Plus updates X, Y, and n.
Smart Graph applies to sequence graphs (Chapter 3).
The free-moving cursor in Seq graphing works the same as in Func graphing. In RectGC format, moving the cursor updates the values of X and Y; if CoordOn format is selected, X and Y are
displayed. In PolarGC format, X, Y, R, and theta are updated; if CoordOn format is selected, R and
theta are displayed.
The axes format setting affects TRACE.
When Time, uv, vw, or uw axes format is selected, TRACE moves the cursor along the sequence one PlotStep increment at a time. To move five plotted points at once, press [2nd] [right key] or [2nd] [left key].
•
When you begin a trace, the trace cursor
is on the first selected
sequence at the term number specified by PlotStart, even if
it is outside the viewing window.
•
Quick Zoom applies to all
directions. To center the viewing window on the current cursor location after you have moved the trace cursor,
press [ENTER]. The trace cursor returns to nMin.
In Web format, the trail of the cursor helps identify points with attracting and repelling behavior in the sequence. When you begin a trace, the cursor is on the x-axis at the initial value of the first selected function.
Note: To move the cursor to a specified n during a trace, enter a value for n, and press [ENTER].
For example, to quickly return the cursor to the beginning of the sequence, paste nMin to the
n= prompt and press [ENTER].
To move the trace cursor to any valid n value on the current function, enter the number. When you enter the first digit, an n= prompt and the number you entered are displayed in the bottom-left corner of the screen. You can enter an expression at the n= prompt. The value must be valid for the current viewing window. When you have completed the entry, press [ENTER] to move the cursor.

ZOOM operations in Seq graphing
work the same as in Func graphing. Only the X (Xmin, Xmax, and Xscl)
and Y
(Ymin, Ymax, and Yscl) window variables are affected.
PlotStart, PlotStep, nMin, and nMax are only affected when you select ZStandard. The VARS Zoom
secondary menu ZU items 1 through 7 are the ZOOM MEMORY variables for Seq graphing.
The only CALC operation available in Seq graphing is value.
•
When Time axes format is selected, value displays Y (the u(n) value) for a specified n value.
•
When Web axes format
is selected, value
draws the web and displays
Y (the u(n)
value) for a specified n
value.
•
When uv, vw, or uw axes format
is selected, value
displays X and Y according to the axes format setting. For example, for uv axes
format, X represents u(n)
and Y represents v(n).
To enter the sequence names u, v, or w, press [2nd] [u], [2nd] [v], or [2nd] [w]. You can evaluate these names in any of three ways.
•

To select Web axes format, press [2nd] [FORMAT] [right key] [ENTER]. A web plot graphs u(n) versus u(n-1), which you can use to study long-term behavior (convergence, divergence, or oscillation) of a recursive sequence. You can see how the sequence may change behavior as its initial value changes.
When Web axes format is selected, a sequence will not graph properly or will generate an error.
•
It must be recursive with only one recursion level
(u(n-1) but not u(n-2)).
•
It cannot reference n directly.
•
It cannot reference any defined sequence
except itself.
In Web format, press [GRAPH] to display the graph screen. The TI-84 Plus:
•
Draws a y=x reference line in AxesOn format.
•
Plots the selected
sequences with u(n-1) as the independent variable.
Note: A potential convergence point occurs whenever a sequence intersects the y=x reference line. However, the sequence may or may not actually converge at that point, depending on the sequence’s initial value.
To activate the trace cursor, press [TRACE]. The screen displays the sequence and the current n, X, and Y values (X represents u(n-1) and Y represents u(n)). Press [right key] repeatedly to draw the web step by step, starting at nMin. In Web format, the trace cursor follows this course.
1.
It starts on the x-axis
at the initial value u(nMin) (when PlotStart=1).
2.
It moves vertically (up or down) to the sequence.
3.
It moves horizontally to the y=x reference line.
4.
It repeats this vertical and horizontal movement
as you continue to press [right key].

A matrix is a two-dimensional array. You can display, define, or edit a matrix in the matrix editor. You can also define a matrix using the MTRX shortcut menu ([ALPHA] [F3]).The TI-84 Plus has 10 matrix variables, [A] through [J]. You can define a matrix directly in an expression. A matrix, depending on available memory, may have up to 99 rows or columns. You can store only real numbers in TI-84 Plus matrices. Fractions are stored as real numbers and can be used in matrices.
Before you can define or display a matrix in the editor, you first must select the matrix name. To do so, follow these steps.
1.
Press [2nd] [MATRX] [left key] to display
the MATRX EDIT menu. The dimensions of any
previously defined matrices are displayed.

The dimensions of the matrix (row × column) are displayed on the top line. The dimensions of a new matrix are 1 × 1. You must accept or change the dimensions each time you edit a matrix. When you select a matrix to define, the cursor highlights the row dimension.
•
To accept the row dimension, press [ENTER].
•
To change the row dimension, enter the number
of rows (up to 99), and then press [ENTER].
The cursor moves to the column dimension, which you must accept or change the same way you accepted or changed the row dimension. When you press [ENTER], the rectangular cursor moves to the first matrix element.
After you have set the dimensions of the matrix, you can view the matrix and enter values for the matrix elements. In a new matrix, all values are zero.
Select the matrix from the MATRX EDIT menu and enter or accept the dimensions. The center portion of the matrix editor displays up to seven rows and three columns of a matrix, showing the values of the elements in abbreviated form if necessary. The full value of the current element, which is indicated by the rectangular cursor, is displayed on the bottom line.

automatically, and plot 2 is displayed. This is a scatter plot of the
residuals.
Notice the pattern of the residuals: a group of negative residuals, then a group of positive residuals, and then another group of negative residuals.
The residual pattern indicates a curvature associated with this data set for which the linear model did not account. The residual plot emphasizes a downward curvature, so a model that curves down with the data would be more accurate. Perhaps a function such as square root would fit. Try a power regression to fit a function of the form y = a * x to the b.

29.
Press
[ZOOM] 9 to select 9:ZoomStat from
the ZOOM menu. The window variables are adjusted
automatically, and plot 2 is displayed. This is a scatter plot of the
residuals.
The new residual plot shows that the residuals are random in sign, with the residuals increasing in magnitude as the string length increases.
To see the magnitudes of the residuals, continue with these steps.
30.
Press [TRACE].
Press [right key] and [left key] to trace the data. Observe the values for Y at each point.
With this model, the largest positive residual is about 0.041 and the smallest negative residual is about -0.027. All other residuals are less than 0.02 in magnitude.
Now that you have a good model for the relationship between length and period, you can use the model to predict the period for a given string length. To predict the periods for a pendulum with string lengths of 20 cm and 50 cm, continue with these steps.
31.
Press

32.
Press [(]20
[)]to enter a string length of 20 cm.
Press [ENTER] to calculate the predicted time of about 0.92 seconds.
Based on the residual analysis, we would expect the prediction of about 0.92 seconds to be within about 0.02 seconds of the actual value.
33.
Press [2nd] [ENTRY] to recall the Last Entry.
Press [left key] [left key] [left key] 5 to change the string length to 50 cm.
34.
Press [ENTER] to calculate the predicted time of
about 1.48 seconds.
Since a string length of 50 cm exceeds the lengths in the data set, and since residuals appear to be increasing as string length increases, we would expect more error with this estimate.
Note: You
also can make predictions using the table with the TABLE SETUP
settings Indpnt:Ask and
Depend:Auto
(Chapter 7).
Data for statistical analyses is stored in lists, which you can create and edit using the stat list editor. The TI-84 Plus has six list variables in memory, L1 through L6, to which you can store data for statistical calculations. Also, you can store data to list names that you create (Chapter 11).

Press [STAT] [ENTER]
to display
the stat list editor.
2.
Press [up key] to move the cursor
to the top line.
3.
Press [left key] or [right key], if necessary, to move the cursor onto the list name to which you want to attach the formula.
Note: If a formula in quotation marks is displayed on the entry line, then a formula is already attached to the list name. To edit the formula, press [ENTER], and then edit the formula.
4.
Press [ALPHA] ["], enter the formula,
and press [ALPHA]["].
Note: If you do not use quotation marks, the TI-84 Plus calculates and displays the same initial list of answers, but does not attach the formula for future calculations.
![]()
Note: Any user-created list name referenced in a formula must be preceded by an L symbol (Chapter 11).
5.
Press [ENTER]. The TI-84 Plus calculates each list element and
stores it to the list name to which the formula
is attached. A lock symbol is displayed in the stat list editor,
next to the list name to
which the formula is attached.
lock symbol
When you edit an element of a list referenced in an attached formula, the TI-84 Plus updates the corresponding element in the list to which the formula is attached (Chapter 11).
![]()
![]()
When a list with a formula attached is displayed in the stat list editor and you edit or enter elements of another displayed list, then the TI-84 Plus takes slightly longer to accept each edit or entry than when no lists with formulas attached are in view.
Note: To speed editing time, scroll horizontally until no lists with formulas are displayed, or rearrange the stat list editor so that no lists with formulas are displayed.
On the home screen, you can attach to a list a formula that references another list with dimension 0 (Chapter 11). However, you cannot display the formula-generated list in the stat list editor or on the home screen until you enter at least one element to the list that the formula references.
All elements of a list referenced by an attached formula must be valid for the attached formula. For example, if Real number mode is set and the attached formula is log(L1), then each element of L1 must be greater than 0, since the logarithm of a negative number returns a complex result.
When you use the shortcut menus, all values must be valid for use in the templates. For example, if you use the n/d template, both the numerator and denominator must be integers.
Notes:
•
If
an error menu is returned
when you attempt
to display a formula-generated list in the stat list editor, you can select 2:Goto, write down the formula that is attached
to the list, and then press
[CLEAR] [ENTER]
to detach (clear)
the formula. You then can use the stat list editor to find the
source of the error. After making the appropriate changes, you can reattach the formula to a list.
•
If
you do not want to clear the formula, you can select
1:Quit, display
the referenced list on the home
screen, and find and edit the source of the error. To edit an element of a list on the home
screen, store the new value to listname(element#) (Chapter
11).
You can detach (clear) a formula from a list name in several ways. For example:
•
In
the stat list editor, move the cursor onto the name of the list to which a formula
is attached. Press [ENTER]
[CLEAR] [ENTER]. All list elements remain, but the formula is
detached and the lock symbol disappears.
•
In
the stat list editor, move the cursor onto an element of the list to which a formula
is attached. Press [ENTER], edit the element,
and then press [ENTER]. The element changes,
the formula is detached, and
the lock symbol disappears. All other list elements remain.
•
Use ClrList. All elements of one or more specified lists are cleared,
each formula is detached,
and each lock symbol disappears. All list names remain.
•
Use ClrAllLists (Chapter 18). All elements
of all lists in memory are cleared,
all formulas are detached from all list names, and all
lock symbols disappear. All list names remain.
As described above, one way to detach a formula from a list name is to edit an element of the list to which the formula is attached. The TI-84 Plus protects against inadvertently detaching the formula from the list name by editing an element of the formula-generated list.
Because of the protection feature, you must press [ENTER] before you can edit an element of a formula-generated list.
The protection feature does not allow you to delete an element of a list to which a formula is attached. To delete an element of a list to which a formula is attached, you must first detach the formula in any of the ways described above.
The stat list editor has four contexts.

The TI-84 Plus uses the formula below to compute RESID list elements. The next section describes the variable RegEQ.
RESID = Ylistname - RegEQ(Xlistname)
Each regression model has an optional argument, regequ, for which you can specify a Y= variable such as Y1. Upon execution, the regression equation is stored automatically to the specified Y= variable and the Y= function is selected.

Note: For the regression equation, you can use the fixed-decimal mode setting to control the number of digits stored after the decimal point (Chapter 1). However, limiting the number of digits to a small number could affect the accuracy of the fit.
When you execute some regression models, the TI-84 Plus computes and stores diagnostics values for r (correlation coefficient) and r square (coefficient of determination) or for R square (coefficient of determination). You can control whether these values are displayed by turning StatDiagnostics on or off on the mode screen.
r and r square are computed and stored for these regression models.
LinReg(ax+b) LinReg(a+bx)
LnReg ExpReg
PwrReg
R square is computed and stored for these regression models.
QuadReg CubicReg QuartReg
The r and r square that are computed for LnReg, ExpReg, and PwrReg are based
on the linearly transformed data. For example, for ExpReg (y=ab^x),
r
and r square
are computed on
ln y=ln a+x(ln b).
By default, these values are not displayed with the results of a regression model when you execute it. However, you can set the diagnostics display mode by executing the DiagnosticOn or DiagnosticOff instruction. Each instruction is in the CATALOG (Chapter 15).

If the STAT WIZARD mode option if OFF, for each STAT CALC menu item, if neither Xlistname nor Ylistname is specified, then the default list names are L1 and L2. If you do not specify freqlist, then the default is 1 occurrence of each list element.
For most STAT CALC menu items, you can specify a list of data occurrences, or frequencies (freqlist).
Each element in freqlist indicates how many times the corresponding data point or data pair occurs in the data set you are analyzing.
For example, if L1={15,12,9,14}
and LFREQ={1,4,1,3},
then the TI-84 Plus interprets the instruction 1-Var Stats L1, LFREQ to mean that 15 occurs once, 12 occurs four times,
9 occurs once, and 14 occurs three times.
Each element in freqlist must be > (greater than or equal to) 0, and at least one element must be > (greater than) 0.
Noninteger freqlist elements are valid. This is useful when entering frequencies expressed as percentages or parts that add up to 1. However, if freqlist contains noninteger frequencies, Sx and Sy are undefined; values are not displayed for Sx and Sy in the statistical results.
1- Var Stats (one-variable statistics) analyzes data with one measured

iterations is the maximum number of times the algorithm will iterate to find a solution. The value for iterations can be an integer > (greater than or equal to) 1 and < (less than or equal to)16; if not specified, the default is 3. The algorithm may find a solution before iterations is reached. Typically, larger values for iterations result in longer execution times and better accuracy for SinReg, and vice versa.
A period guess is optional. If you do not specify period, the difference between time values in Xlistname must be equal and the time values must be ordered in ascending sequential order. If you specify period, the algorithm may find a solution more quickly, or it may find a solution when it would not have found one if you had omitted a value for period. If you specify period, the differences between time values in Xlistname can be unequal.
Note: The output of SinReg is always in radians, regardless of the Radian/Degree mode setting.

ZoomStat adjusts Xmin, Xmax, Ymin, and Ymax to include all values, and also adjusts Xscl. The inequality (Xmax - Xmin) / Xscl < (less than or equal to) 47 must be true. A value that occurs on the edge of a bar is counted in the bar to the right.

ModBoxplot (modified box plot) plots one-variable data, like the regular box plot, except points that are 1.5 * Interquartile Range beyond the quartiles. (The Interquartile Range is defined as the difference between the third quartile Q3 and the first quartile Q1.) These points are plotted individually beyond the whisker, using the Mark (white square or + or black dot) you select. You can trace these points, which are called outliers.
The prompt for outlier points is x=, except when the outlier is the maximum point (maxX) or the minimum point (minX). When outliers exist, the end of each whisker will display x=. When no outliers exist, minX and maxX are the prompts for the end of each whisker. Q1, Med (median), and Q3 define the box.
Box plots are plotted with respect to Xmin and Xmax, but ignore Ymin and Ymax. When two box plots are plotted, the first one plots at the top of the screen and the second plots in the middle. When three are plotted, the first one plots at the top, the second in the middle, and the third at the bottom.

Getting Started is a fast-paced introduction. Read the chapter for details.
Suppose you want to estimate the mean height of a population of women given the random sample below. Because heights among a biological population tend to be normally distributed, a t distribution confidence interval can be used when estimating the mean. The 10 height values below are the first 10 of 90 values, randomly generated from a normally distributed population with an assumed mean of 165.1 centimeters and a standard deviation of 6.35 centimeters (randNorm(165.1,6.35,90) with a seed of 789).
169.43 168.33 159.55 169.97 159.79 181.42 171.17 162.04 167.15 159.53

6.
Press
[down key] to move the
cursor onto Calculate,
and then press [ENTER]. The
confidence interval is calculated, and the TInterval results are
displayed on the home screen.
The first line, (159.74,173.94), shows that the 99 percent confidence interval for the population mean is between about 159.74 centimeters and 173.94 centimeters. This is about a 14.2 centimeters spread.
The .99 confidence level indicates that in a very large number of samples, we expect 99 percent of the intervals calculated to contain the population mean. The actual mean of the population sampled is 165.1 centimeters, which is in the calculated interval.
The second line gives the mean height of the sample mean of x used to compute this interval. The third line gives the sample standard deviation Sx. The bottom line gives the sample size n.
To obtain a more precise bound on the population mean (mu) of women’s heights, increase the sample size to 90. Use a sample mean of x of 163.8 and sample standard deviation Sx of 7.1 calculated from the larger random sample. This time, use the Stats (summary statistics) input option.

2-SampFTest (two-sample F-test; item E) computes an F-test to compare two normal population standard deviations (small sigma subscript 1 and small sigma subscript 2). The population means and standard deviations are all unknown.
2-SampFTest, which uses the ratio of sample variances Sx1 square/Sx2square, tests the null hypothesis H subscript 0: s1=s2 against one of the alternatives below.
•
Ha: small sigma subscript 1 is not equal to small sigma subscript 2 (selection1 : not equal to
selection2)
•
Ha: small sigma subscript
1 is less than small sigma subscript 2 (selection1 : less than selection2)
•

When LinRegTTest is executed, the list of residuals is created and stored to the list name RESID
automatically. RESID is placed on the LIST NAMES menu.
Note: For the regression equation, you can use the fix-decimal mode setting to control the number of digits stored after the decimal point (Chapter 1). However, limiting the number of digits to a small number could affect the accuracy of the fit.
LinRegTInt computes a linear regression T confidence interval for the slope coefficient b. If the confidence interval contains 0, this is insufficient evidence to indicate that the data exhibits a linear relationship.

Use the cash flow functions (menu items 7 and 8) to analyze the value of money over equal time periods. You can enter unequal cash flows, which can be cash inflows or outflows. The syntax descriptions for npv( and irr( use these arguments.
•
interest rate is the rate by which to discount the cash flows
(the cost of money) over one period.
•
CF0 is the initial cash flow at time 0; it must be a real number.
•
CFList is a list of cash flow amounts after the initial
cash flow CF0.
•
CFFreq is
a list in which each element specifies the frequency of occurrence for a
grouped (consecutive) cash flow amount, which is the corresponding element
of CFList. The default is 1;
if you enter values, they must be positive integers less than 10,000.
For example, express this uneven cash flow in lists.

These menu items direct the flow of an executing program. They make it easy to repeat or skip a group of commands during program execution. When you select an item from the menu, the name is pasted to the cursor location on a command line in the program.
To return to the program editor without selecting an item, press [CLEAR].
Program control instructions tell the TI-84 Plus which command to execute next in a program. If, While, and Repeat check a defined condition to determine which command to execute next.
Conditions frequently use relational or Boolean tests (Chapter 2), as in:
If A<7:A+1 right arrow A
or
If N=1 and M=1:Goto
Z
Use If for testing
and branching. If condition is false (zero), then the command immediately following
If
is skipped. If condition is true
(nonzero), then the next command is
executed. If
instructions can be nested.
:If condition
:command (if true)
:command
Program Output
![]()
![]()
Then following an If executes a group of commands if condition is true (nonzero). End identifies the end of the group of commands.
:If condition
:Then
:command (if true)
:command (if true)
:End
:command
Program Output
![]()
![]()
Else following If-Then executes a group of commands if condition is false (zero). End identifies the end
of the group of commands.
:If condition
:Then
:command (if true)
:command (if true)

While performs
a group of commands while condition is
true. condition is frequently a relational test
(Chapter 2). condition is tested when While is encountered. If condition is true (nonzero), the program
executes a group of commands. End signifies the end of the group. When condition is false (zero), the program executes each command following
End.
While
instructions can be nested.
:While condition
:command (while condition is true)

always executed at least once. Repeat instructions can be nested.
:Repeat condition
:command (until condition is true)
:command (until condition is true)
:End
:command
Program Output
![]()
![]()
End identifies
the end of a group of commands. You must

The program above pauses until you select 1 or 2. If you select 2, for example, the menu disappears and the program continues execution at Lbl B.
Use prgm to execute other programs as subroutines. When you select prgm, it is pasted to the cursor location. Enter characters to spell a program name. Using prgm is equivalent to selecting existing programs from the PRGM EXEC menu; however, it allows you to enter the name of a program that you have not yet created.
prgmname
Note: You cannot directly enter the subroutine name when using RCL. You must paste the name from the PRGM EXEC menu.
Return quits the subroutine and returns execution to the calling program, even if encountered within nested loops. Any loops are ended. An implied Return exists at the end of any program that is called as a subroutine. Within the main program, Return stops execution and returns to the home screen.
Stop stops execution of a program and returns to the home screen. Stop is optional at the end of a program.
DelVar deletes from memory the contents of variable.

You can run programs written for the TI-84 Plus in assembly language. Typically, assembly language programs run much faster and provide greater control than the keystroke programs that you write with the built-in program editor.
Note: Because an assembly language program has greater control over the calculator, if your assembly language program has error(s), it may cause your calculator to reset and lose all data, programs, and applications stored in memory.
When you download an assembly language program, it is stored among the other programs as a
PRGM menu item. You can:
•
Transmit it using the TI-84 Plus communication link (Chapter 19).
•
Delete it using
the MEM MGMT DEL screen
(Chapter 18).

When you press a number key in TRACE, the X= prompt is displayed in the bottom- left corner.
Notice how the values for the calculated maximum compare with the
maximums found with the free-moving cursor, the trace cursor, and the table.
Note: In steps 2 and 3 above, you can enter values directly for Left Bound and Right Bound, in the same way as described in step 4.
An experiment found a significant difference between boys and girls pertaining to their ability to identify objects held in their left hands, which are controlled by the right side of their brains, versus their right hands, which are controlled by the left side of their brains. The TI Graphics team conducted a similar test for adult men and women.
The test involved 30 small objects, which participants were not allowed to see. First, they held 15 of the objects one by one in their left hands and guessed what they were. Then they held the other 15 objects one by one in their right hands and guessed what they were. Use box plots to compare visually the correct-guess data from this table.
Each row in the table represents the results observed for one subject. Note that 10 women and 12 men were tested.

Using two pairs of parametric equations, determine when two objects in motion are closest to each other in the same plane.
A ferris wheel has a diameter (d) of 20 meters and is rotating counterclockwise at a rate (s) of one revolution every 12 seconds. The parametric equations below describe the location of a ferris wheel passenger at time T, where alpha is the angle of rotation, (0,0) is the bottom center of the ferris wheel, and (10,10) is the passenger’s location at the rightmost point, when T=0.
X(T) = r cos alpha
Y(T) = r + r sin alpha
where alpha = 2piTs and r = d/2
A person standing on the ground throws a ball to the ferris wheel passenger. The thrower’s arm is at the same height as the bottom of the ferris wheel, but 25 meters (b) to the right of the ferris wheel’s lowest point (25,0). The person throws the ball with velocity (v subscript 0) of 22 meters per second at an angle (theta) of 66° from the horizontal. The parametric equations below describe the location of the ball at time T.

Archiving lets you store data, programs, or other variables to the user data archive (ARC) where they cannot be edited or deleted inadvertently. Archiving also allows you to free up RAM for variables that may require additional memory.
Archived variables cannot be edited or executed. They can only be seen and unarchived. For example, if you archive list L1, you will see that L1 exists in memory but if you select it and paste the name L1 to the home screen, you won’t be able to see its contents or edit it.
Note: Not all variables may be archived. Not all archived variables may be unarchived. For example, system variables including r, t, x, y, and theta cannot be archived. Apps and Groups always exist in Flash ROM so there is no need to archive them. Groups cannot be unarchived. However, you can ungroup or delete them.

Archiving and unarchiving can be done in two ways:
•
Use the 5:Archive or 6:UnArchive commands from the MEMORY menu or CATALOG.
•
Use a Memory
Management editor screen.
Before archiving or unarchiving variables, particularly those with a large byte size (such as large programs) use the MEMORY menu to:
•
Find the size of the variable.
•
See if there is enough
free space.
|
For: |
Sizes must be such that: |
|
Archive |
Archive free
size greater than
variable size |
|
For: |
Sizes must be such that: |
|
UnArchive |
RAM free size greater
than variable size |
Note: If there is not enough space, unarchive or delete variables as necessary. Be aware that when you unarchive a variable, not all the memory associated with that variable in user data archive will be released since the system keeps track of where the variable has been and where it is now in RAM.
Even if there appears to be enough free space, you may see a Garbage Collection message when you attempt to archive a variable. Depending on the usability of empty blocks in the user data archive, you may need to unarchive existing variables to create more free space.

Note: Ungrouping does not remove the group from user data archive. You must delete the group in user data archive to remove it.
If you use the user data archive extensively, you may see a Garbage Collect? message. This occurs if you try to archive a variable when there is not enough free contiguous archive memory.
The Garbage Collect? message lets you know an archive will take longer than usual. It also alerts you that the archive will fail if there is not enough memory.
The message can also alert you when a program is caught in a loop that repetitively fills the user data archive. Select No to cancel the garbage collection process, and then find and correct the errors in your program.
When YES is selected, the TI-84 Plus will attempt to rearrange the archived variables to make additional room.
•
To cancel,
select 1:No.
•
If you select
1:No, the message
ERR:ARCHIVE FULL will be displayed.
•
To continue archiving, select 2:Yes.
•
If
you select 2:Yes, the process message Garbage
Collecting... or Defragmenting...
will be displayed.
Note: The process message Defragmenting... is displayed whenever an application marked for deletion is encountered. Garbage collection may take up to 20 minutes, depending on how much of archive memory has been used to store variables.
After garbage collection, depending on how much additional space is freed, the variable may or may not be archived. If not, you can unarchive some variables and try again.
The user data archive is divided into sectors. When you first begin archiving, variables are stored consecutively in sector 1. This continues to the end of the sector.
An archived variable
is stored in a continuous block within a single sector.
Unlike an application stored in user data archive, an archived variable cannot cross a sector
boundary. If there
is not enough space left in the sector, the next variable is stored at
the beginning of the next sector. Typically, this leaves an empty block at the
end of the previous sector.
variable A
Sector 1
variable B
Empty block
variable D
Depending on its size,
variable D is stored in one of these
locations.
variable C
Sector 2
Sector 3
This process continues to the end of the last sector. Depending on the size of individual variables, the empty blocks may account for a significant amount of space. Garbage collection occurs when the variable you are archiving is larger than any empty block.
When you unarchive a variable, it is copied to RAM but it is not actually deleted from user data archive memory. Unarchived variables are “marked for deletion,” meaning they will be deleted during the next garbage collection.
Sector 1
After
you unarchive variables B and C, they continue to take
up space.
Sector 2
Sector 3
Even if the MEMORY screen shows
enough free space
to archive a variable or store an application,
you may still get a Garbage Collect? message or an ERR: ARCHIVE
FULL message.
When you unarchive a variable, the Archive free amount increases immediately, but the space is not actually available until after the next garbage collection.
If the Archive free amount shows enough available space for your variable, there probably will be enough space to archive it after garbage collection (depending on the usability of any empty blocks).
The garbage collection process:
•
Deletes unarchived variables
from the user data archive.
•
Rearranges the remaining
variables into consecutive blocks.
Sector 1
Sector 2
deleted.
You can reduce the number of automatic garbage collections by periodically optimizing memory. This is done by using the GarbageCollect command.
To use the GarbageCollect command, follow
these steps.
1.
From the HOME screen, press [2nd] [CATALOG] to display the CATALOG.

2.
Press [down key] or [up key] to scroll
the CATALOG until the selection
cursor points to the
GarbageCollect command or press G to skip to the commands starting with the letter G.
3.
Press [ENTER] to paste the command to the HOME screen.
4.
Press [ENTER] to display the Garbage Collect? message.
5.
Select 2:Yes to begin garbage collection.
Even if the MEMORY screen shows enough
free space to archive a variable or store an application, you may still get an ERR:
ARCHIVE FULL message.
An ERR:ARCHIVE FULL message may be displayed:
•
When there is insufficient space to archive
a variable within a continuous block and within a
single sector.
•
When there is insufficient space to store an application within a continuous block of memory.
When the message is displayed, it will indicate the largest single space of memory available for storing a variable and an application.
To resolve the problem, use the GarbageCollect command to optimize memory. If memory is still insufficient, you must delete variables or applications to increase space.

This chapter describes how to communicate with compatible TI units. The TI-84 Plus has a USB port to connect and communicate with another TI-84 series calculator. A USB unit-to-unit cable is included with the TI-84 Plus.
The TI-84 Plus also has an I/O port using a I/O unit-to-unit cable to communicate with:
•
TI-83 Plus Silver
Edition
•
TI-83 Plus
•
TI-83
•
TI-82
•
TI-73
•
CBL 2™ or a CBR™
You can send items from a calculator with an older OS to a calculator with OS 2.53MP and higher. However, you may receive a version error if you send items from a calculator with OS 2.53MP or higher to a calculator with an older OS. Transferring files between calculators works best if both calculators have the latest operating system software installed. For example, if you send a list that contains fractions (OS 2.53MP and higher) to a calculator with OS 2.43, a version error displays because OS 2.43 does not support fractions.
USB Unit-to-Unit Cable
The TI-84 Plus USB link port is located at the
top right edge of the graphing calculator.
1.
Firmly insert either end of the USB
unit-to-unit cable into the USB port.
2.

The TI-84 Plus I/O link port is located at the
top left edge of the graphing calculator.
1.
Firmly insert either end of the I/O
unit-to-unit cable into the port.
2.
Insert the other end of the cable into the
other graphing calculator’s I/O port.
TI-84 Plus to a TI-83 Plus using
I/O Unit-to-Unit Cable
The TI-84 Plus I/O link port is located at the
top left edge of the graphing calculator. The TI-83 Plus I/O link port is located at the bottom edge of
the graphing calculator.
1.
Firmly insert either end of the I/O
unit-to-unit cable into the port.
2.
Insert the other end of the cable into the
other graphing calculator’s I/O port.
The CBL 2™ system and the CBR™ system are optional accessories that also connect to a TI-84 Plus with the I/O unit-to-unit cable. With a CBL 2™ system or CBR™ system and a

The TI-84 Plus uses the variables listed below in various ways. Some variables are restricted to specific data types.
The variables A through Z and theta are defined as real or complex numbers. You may store to them. The TI-84 Plus can update X, Y, R, theta, and T during graphing, so you may want to avoid using these variables to store nongraphing data.
The variables (list names) L1 through L6 are restricted to lists; you cannot store another type of data to them.
The variables (matrix names) [A] through [J] are restricted to matrices; you cannot store another type of data to them.
The variables Pic1 through Pic9 and Pic0 are restricted to pictures; you cannot store another type of data to them.
The variables GDB1 through GDB9 and GDB0 are restricted to graph databases; you cannot store another type of data to them.
The variables Str1 through Str9 and Str0 are restricted to strings; you cannot store another type of data to them.
Except for system variables, you can store any string of characters, functions, instructions, or variables to the functions Yn, (1 through 9, and 0), XnT/YnT (1 through 6), rn (1 through 6), u(n), v(n), and w(n) directly or through the Y= editor. The validity of the string is determined when the function is evaluated.
You can store data, programs or any variable from RAM to user data archive memory where they cannot be edited or deleted inadvertently. Archiving also allows you to free up RAM for variables that may require additional memory. The names of archived variables are preceded by an asterisk (*) indicating they are in user data archive.
The variables below must be real numbers. You may store to them. Since the TI-84 Plus can update some of them, as the result of a ZOOM, for example, you may want to avoid using these variables to store nongraphing data.

This technique attempts to recursively estimate the constants a, b, c, and d to make J as small as possible.
The ANOVA F statistic is:

There may be a number of reasons that your TI-84 Plus is not displaying the expected results; however, the most common solutions involve order of operations or mode settings. Your calculator uses an Equation Operating System™ (EOS™) which evaluates the functions in an expression in the following order:
1.
Functions that precede
the argument, such as square
root, sin(, or log(
2.
Functions that are entered
after the argument, such as exponents, factorial, r, °, and conversions
3.
Powers and roots, such as 2^5, or 5*square root(32)
4.
Permutations (nPr) and combinations (nCr)
5.
Multiplication, implied multiplication, and division
6.
Addition and subtraction
7.
Relational functions, such as > (greater than) or < (less than)
8.
Logic operator and
9.
Logic operators or and xor
Remember that EOS™ evaluates from left to right and calculations within parentheses are evaluated first. You should use parentheses where the rules of algebra may not be clear. In OS
2.53 MP, parentheses may be pasted in an expression to indicate how the input is interpreted.
If you are using trigonometric functions or performing polar and rectangular conversions, the unexpected results may be caused by an angle mode setting. The Radian and Degree angle mode settings control how the TI-84 Plus interprets angle values.
To change the angle mode settings, follow these steps:
1.
Press [MODE] to display the Mode settings.
2.
Select Degree or Radian.
3.
Press [ENTER] to save the angle mode setting.
Your TI-84 Plus displays the ERR:DIM MISMATCH error if you are trying to perform an operation that references one or more lists or matrices whose dimensions do not match. For example, multiplying L1*L2, where L1={1,2,3,4,5} and L2={1,2} produces an ERR:DIM MISMATCH error because the number of elements in L1 and L2 do not match.
The ERR:INVALID DIM error message may occur if you are trying to graph a function that does not involve the stat plot features. The error can be corrected by turning off the stat plots. To turn the stat plots off, press [2nd] [STAT PLOT] and then select 4:PlotsOff.
Your TI-84 Plus displays the Link-Receive L1 (or any file) to Restore message if it has been disabled for testing, and not re-enabled. To restore your calculator to full functionality after testing, link to another TI-84 Plus and transfer any file to the disabled calculator, or use TI Connect™ software to download a file from your computer to your TI-84 Plus.
To transfer a file from another TI-84 Plus:
1.
On the receiving unit, press [2nd] [LINK] and then select
RECEIVE.
2.
On the sending
calculator, Press [2nd] [LINK].
3.
Select a file to send by selecting a category, and then selecting

When the TI-84 Plus detects an error, it returns an error message as a menu title, such as ERR:SYNTAX or ERR:DOMAIN. This table contains each error type, possible causes, and suggestions for correction. The error types listed in this table are each preceded by ERR: on your graphing calculator display. For example, you will see ERR:ARCHIVED as a menu title when your graphing calculator detects an ARCHIVED error type.
Error Type Possible Causes
and Suggested Remedies
ARCHIVED You have attempted to use, edit, or delete
an archived variable.
For example, the expression
dim(L1) produces an error if L1 is archived.
ARCHIVE FULL You have attempted
to archive a variable and there is not enough
space in archive to receive
it.
ARGUMENT A function
or instruction does not have the correct
number of arguments. See Appendix A for function and instruction syntax.
Appendix
A displays the arguments and punctuation needed to execute the function or
instruction. For example, stdDev(list[,freqlist]) is
a function of the TI-84 Plus. The arguments are shown in italics. The arguments in brackets are optional and you need not type them.
You must also be sure to separate multiple arguments with a comma
(,). For example,
stdDev(list[,freqlist]) might be entered
as stdDev(L1) or stdDev(L1,L2) since the frequency
list or freqlist is
optional.
BAD ADDRESS You have attempted to send or receive an application and an error
(e.g. electrical interference) has occurred in the transmission.
BAD GUESS • In a CALC operation, you specified a Guess that is not between
Left Bound
and Right Bound.
•
For the solve( function or the equation
solver, you specified
a guess that is not
between lower and
upper.
•
Your guess and several points
around it are undefined.
Examine a graph of the function.
If the equation has a solution, change
the bounds and/or the initial guess.
BOUND • In a CALC operation or with Select(, you defined
Left Bound > Right Bound.
•
In fMin(, fMax(, solve(, or the equation solver,
you entered lower >/= upper.
BREAK You pressed
the [ON] key to break execution of a program,
to halt a DRAW
instruction,
or to stop evaluation of an expression.
DATA TYPE You entered a value or variable that is the wrong data type.
•
For a function (including implied multiplication) or an instruction, you entered an argument
that is an invalid data type, such as a complex number where a real number is required. See Appendix A
and the appropriate chapter.
•
In
an editor, you entered a type that is not allowed, such as a matrix entered as an element in the stat list
editor. See the appropriate chapter.
•
You attempted to store an incorrect data type, such as a matrix, to a list.
DIM MISMATCH Your
calculator displays the ERR:DIM MISMATCH error if you are trying to perform
an operation that references one or more lists or matrices whose dimensions do
not match. For example, multiplying L1*L2, where L1={1,2,3,4,5} and L2={1,2} produces
an ERR:DIM MISMATCH
error because
the number of elements in L1 and L2 do not match.
Error Type Possible Causes
and Suggested Remedies
DIVIDE BY 0 • You attempted
to divide by zero. This error is not returned
during graphing.
The TI-84 Plus allows for undefined values

and is not valid for the TI-84 Plus For example, you may have transferred Un-1 to the TI-84 Plus from the TI-82 and then tried to reference it.
•
In
Seq mode, you attempted
to graph a phase plot without defining
both equations of the phase plot.
•
In
Seq mode, you attempted
to graph a recursive sequence
without having input the
correct number of initial conditions.
•
In Seq mode, you attempted to reference terms
other than (n-1) or (n-2).
•
You attempted to designate a graph style
that is invalid within the current
graph mode.
•
You attempted to use Select( without having
selected (turned on) at least one
xyLine or scatter plot.
INVALID DIM • The ERR:INVALID DIM error message may occur if you are trying
to graph a
function that does not involve the stat plot features. The error can be corrected by turning off the stat plots.
To turn the stat plots off, press [2nd][STAT
PLOT], and then select 4:PlotsOff.
•
You specified a list dimension as something other than an integer between
1 and 999.
•
You specified a matrix dimension as something other
than an integer between 1 and
99.
•
You attempted to invert a matrix that is not square.
ITERATIONS • The solve( function or the equation
solver has exceeded
the maximum
number
of permitted iterations. Examine a graph of the function. If the equation has a solution,
change the bounds,
or the initial guess, or both.
•
irr( has exceeded
the maximum number
of permitted iterations.
•

program.
LINK L1 (or any other
file) to Restore
The
calculator has been disabled for testing. To restore full functionality, use TI
Connect™ software to download a file to your calculator from
your computer, or transfer
any file to your calculator from another TI-84 Plus. (See the
instructions under Important Things
to Know about your TI-84 Plus, earlier in this chapter.)
MEMORY Memory is insufficient to perform the instruction or function. You must delete items from memory before executing
the instruction or function.
Recursive problems return
this error; for example, graphing
the equation
Y1=Y1.
Branching out of an If/Then, For(, While, or Repeat loop with a Goto also can return this error because the End statement
that terminates the loop is never reached.
MemoryFull • You are unable to transmit an item because
the receiving unit’s
available
memory is insufficient. You may skip the item or exit receive mode.
•
During a memory backup,
the receiving unit’s
available memory is insufficient
to receive all items in the sending unit’s memory. A message indicates the
number of bytes the sending unit must delete to do the memory backup. Delete
items and try again.
MODE You attempted to store to a window
variable in another
graphing mode or to
perform an instruction while in the wrong mode; for example, DrawInv in
a graphing mode other than Func.
NO SIGN CHNG • The solve( function or the equation
solver did not detect a sign change.
•
You attempted to compute I% when
FV,
(N*PMT), and PV are all greater
than or equal to 0, or when FV, (N*PMT), and PV are all less than or equal to 0.
•
You attempted to compute
irr( when neither CFList nor CFO is greater
than 0, or when neither CFList nor CFO is less than
0.
NONREAL ANS In Real mode, the result of a calculation yielded a complex
result. This error is
not returned during graphing. The TI-84 Plus allows for undefined values
on a graph.
OVERFLOW You attempted
to enter, or you have calculated, a number that is beyond
the range of the graphing calculator. This error is not returned during
graphing. The TI-84 Plus allows for undefined values on a graph.
RESERVED You attempted
to use a system variable
inappropriately. See Appendix
A.
SINGULAR MAT • A singular matrix
(determinant = 0) is not valid as the argument
for -1.
•
The SinReg instruction
or a polynomial regression generated a singular matrix (determinant = 0) because it could not find a solution, or a solution does not exist.
This error is not returned during
graphing. The TI-84 Plus allows
for undefined values on a
graph.
SINGULARITY expression in
the solve(
function or the equation solver contains a singularity (a point at which
the function is not defined). Examine a graph
of the function. If the
equation has a solution, change the bounds or the initial guess or both.
STAT You attempted
a stat calculation with lists that are not appropriate.
•
Statistical analyses must have at least two data points.
•
Med-Med must have at least three points
in each partition.
•
When you use a frequency list, its elements
must be greater than or equal
to 0.
•
(Xmax - Xmin) / Xscl must be less than or equal to 47 for a histogram.
STAT PLOT You attempted
to display a graph when a stat plot that uses an undefined list is
turned on.
SYNTAX The
command contains a syntax error. Look for misplaced functions, arguments, parentheses, or commas. Appendix
A displays the arguments and punctuation needed to execute the
function or instruction.
For
example, stdDev(list[,freqlist]) is
a function of the TI-84 Plus. The arguments are shown in italics.
The arguments in brackets are optional and you need not type them. You must also
be sure to separate multiple arguments with a comma (,). For example stdDev(list[,freqlist]) might
be entered as stdDev(L1) or stdDev(L1,L2) since the frequency
list or freqlist is optional.
TOL NOT MET You requested
a tolerance to which the algorithm cannot
return an accurate result.
UNDEFINED You
referenced a variable that is not currently defined. For example, you
referenced a stat variable when there is no current calculation because a list
has been edited, or you referenced a variable when the variable
is not valid for the current
calculation, such as a after Med-Med.
VALIDATION Electrical interference caused a link to fail or this graphing calculator is not authorized to
run the application.
VARIABLE You have tried to archive a variable that cannot be archived or you have tried
to unarchive an application or group.
Examples of variables that cannot be archived include:
•
Real numbers LRESID, R, T, X, Y, Theta, Statistic
variables under Vars,
STATISTICS menu,
Yvars,
and the AppIdList.
VERSION You have attempted to receive an incompatible variable
version from another graphing calculator.
WINDOW RANGE A problem exists with the window variables.
•
You defined Xmax less than or equal to Xmin or Ymax less than or equal
to
Ymin.
•
You defined thetamax less than or equal to thetamin and thetastep greater than
0 (or
vice versa).
•
You attempted to define Tstep=0.
•
You defined Tmax less than or equal to Tmin and Tstep greater than 0 (or
vice versa).
•
Window variables are too small or too large to graph correctly. You may have attempted to zoom in or zoom out to a
point that exceeds the TI-84 Plus’s numerical range.
ZOOM • A point or a line,
instead of a box, is defined in ZBox.
•
A ZOOM operation returned
a math error.
To maximize accuracy, the TI-84 Plus carries more digits internally than it displays. Values are stored in memory using up to 14 digits with a two-digit exponent.
•
You can store a value in the window
variables using up to 10 digits (12 for Xscl, Yscl, Tstep,
and thetastep).
•
Displayed values are rounded
as specified by the mode setting with a maximum
of 10 digits and a two-digit exponent.
•
RegEQ displays up to 14 digits in Float mode. Using
a fixed-decimal setting
other than Float
causes RegEQ results to be rounded and stored with the specified number of decimal places.
Xmin is the center of the leftmost pixel, Xmax is the center of the next-to-the-rightmost pixel. (The rightmost pixel is reserved for the busy indicator.) DeltaX is the distance between the centers of two adjacent pixels.
•
In Full screen mode,
DeltaX is calculated as (Xmax - Xmin) / 94. In G-T split-screen mode,
DeltaX is calculated as (Xmax - Xmin)/ 46.
•
If you enter a value
for DeltaX from the home screen or a program in Full screen mode, Xmax
is calculated as Xmin + DeltaX * 94. In G-T split-screen mode, Xmax is calculated as
Xmin + DeltaX
* 46.
Ymin is the center of the next-to-the-bottom pixel; Ymax is the center of the top pixel. DeltaY is the distance between the centers of two adjacent pixels.
•
In
Full screen mode, DeltaY is
calculated as (Ymax - Ymin) / 62. In Horiz split-screen mode, DeltaY is calculated as (Ymax - Ymin) / 30. In G-T split-screen mode,
DeltaY is calculated as (Ymax -
Ymin)
/ 50.
•
If
you enter a value for DeltaY from the home screen
or a program in Full
screen mode, Ymax
is calculated as Ymin + DeltaY * 62. In
Horiz split-screen
mode, Ymax is
calculated as Ymin + DeltaY * 30. In G-T split-screen
mode, Ymax is
calculated as Ymin +
DeltaY * 50.
Cursor coordinates are displayed as eight-character numbers (which may include a negative sign, decimal point, and exponent) when Float mode is selected. X and Y are updated with a maximum accuracy of eight digits.
minimum and maximum on the CALCULATE menu are calculated with a tolerance of 1E-5; intregal symbol f(x)dx is calculated at 1E-3. Therefore, the result displayed may not be accurate to all eight displayed digits. For most functions, at least five accurate digits exist. For fMin(, fMax(, and fnInt( on the MATH menu and solve( in the CATALOG, the tolerance can be specified.

_files/image2193.gif)
Message A Message B
After Message A is first displayed, you can expect the batteries to function for about one or two weeks, depending on usage. (This one-week to two-week period is based on tests with alkaline batteries; the performance of other types of batteries may vary.)
If Message B is displayed, you must replace the batteries immediately to successfully download an application.
Do not remove both types of batteries (AAA and backup) at the same time. Do not allow the batteries to lose power completely. If you follow these guidelines and the steps for replacing batteries, you can replace either type of battery without losing any information in memory.
Take these precautions when replacing batteries.
•
Do not leave
batteries within reach of children
•
Do not mix new and used batteries. Do not mix brands (or types within brands) of batteries.
•
Do not mix rechargeable and nonrechargeable batteries.
•
Install batteries according to polarity (+ and -) diagrams.
•
Do not place
nonrechargeable batteries in a battery
recharger.
•
Properly dispose of used batteries
immediately. Do not leave them within the reach of children.
•
Do not incinerate or dismantle batteries.
Do not mutilate, puncture, or dispose of batteries in fire. The batteries can burst or explode, releasing hazardous chemicals. Discard used batteries according to local regulations.
To replace the batteries, follow these steps.
1.
Turn off the graphing calculator.
Replace the slide cover over the keyboard to avoid inadvertently turning
on the graphing calculator. Turn the back of the unit toward you.
2.
Hold the graphing calculator upright, push downward
on the latch on the top of the battery cover, and then pull the cover
toward you.
Note: To avoid loss of information stored in memory, you must turn off the graphing calculator. Do not remove the AAA batteries and thebackup battery simultaneously.
3.
Replace all four AAA alkaline
batteries simultaneously. Or, replace the backup battery.
•
To
replace the AAA alkaline batteries, remove all four discharged AAA batteries and install
new ones according to the polarity (+ and -)
diagram in the battery compartment.
_files/image2195.gif)
•
To
replace thebackup battery,
remove the screw from the backup battery
cover, and then remove the cover. Install
the new battery,
+ side up. Replace the cover and secure it with
the screw.
4.
Replace the battery compartment cover. Turn the graphing calculator on and adjust
the display contrast, if
necessary, by pressing [2nd] [up
key] or [down key].
To handle a difficulty, follow these steps.
1.
If
you cannot see anything on the screen,
you may need to adjust
the graphing calculator contrast.
To darken the screen, press and release [2nd], and then press and hold [up key] until the display is sufficiently dark.
To lighten the screen, press and release [2nd], and then press and hold [down key] until the display is sufficiently light.
2.
If an error menu is displayed, follow these steps:
•
Note the error type (ERR:error type).
•
Select 2:GOTO, if it is available. The previous screen is displayed
with the cursor
at or near the error location.
•
Determine the error.
•
Correct the expression.
Refer to the Error Conditions table for details about specific errors, if necessary.
3.
If
the busy indicator
(dotted line) is displayed, a graph or program has been paused;
the TI-84 Plus is waiting for
input. Press [ENTER] to continue
or press [ON] to break.
4.
If
a checkerboard cursor
is displayed, then either you have entered
the maximum number
of characters in a prompt, or memory is full. If memory is full:
•
Press [2nd] [MEM] 2 to display the MEMORY MANAGEMENT / DELETE menu.
•
Select the type of data you want to
delete, or select 1:All for
a list of all variables of all types. A screen
is displayed listing
each variable of the type you selected
and the number of bytes each variable is using.
•
Press [up key] and [down key] to move the selection
cursor (►) next to the item you want
to delete, and then press [DEL].
5.
If
the graphing calculator does not seem to work at all, be sure the alkaline
batteries are fresh and that they are installed
properly.
6.
If
the TI-84 Plus does not function even though you are sure that the batteries are fresh, you can try manually resetting it.
•
Remove all of the AAA batteries from the graphing
calculator.
•
Press and hold the [ON] key for ten seconds.
•
Replace the batteries.
•
Turn on the unit.
When you reset your graphing calculator, the contrast sometimes changes. If the screen is faded or blank, adjust the contrast by
pressing [2nd] and releasing [up key] or [down key].
7.
If the above solutions do not work
you can reset all of the memory. The RAM, user data archive memory,
and system variables
are restored to factory settings
when you reset
all memory. All nonsystem variables, applications (Apps), and programs
are deleted.
•
Press [2nd] [MEM] to display the MEMORY menu.
•
Select 7:Reset to display
the RAM ARCHIVE ALL menu.
•
Press [right key] [right key] to display the ALL menu.
•
Select 1:All Memory to display the RESET MEMORY menu.
•
To
continue with the reset, select
2:Reset. The message Mem cleared is displayed on the home screen.
