Solving Problems With a TI-89 Titanium for Physics Lab

[TI-89 nube]

I know i have a calculator that is way more advanced that what my class needs and that is my problem.. everyone is using a ti-84 plus or something and I am using a ti-89 titanium... but any ways during a physics lab the class did a simple graph using their ti-84's and as i am trying to convert the data that they did with their calculators i ran into a few problems with my ti-89 cause obviously they are different...

all right bear with me... i don't have the manual and the problems i run into are:

i put info into lists 1, 2, and three... i go to plot and i can't turn it onwhich is one of my main problems... i go to plot set up and mess around in there... but nothing seems to work..

then the lab needs a lin regression and i would like to know what you need to put into properly do the graph... I am just pressing enter and getting it...

by doing theese steps in the ti-84 you get a graph... but i need help converting the same info and making the same graph on my ti-89

titaniumThe TI-89 Titanium has a graphing feature that is easy to use. To access the graphing feature, press the Y= button on the calculator and then select the GRAPH icon from the list of options. You can then enter your data into Lists 1, 2, and 3, and select Plot Setup from the Options menu. You can then select the type of graph you want to create, such as a scatterplot or line graph, and choose the scaling and range of your graph. Once you have chosen the appropriate settings, you can press the Graph button to display your graph. To perform a linear regression, select Stat Plot from the Options menu. Select the lists containing your data and select Linear Regression from the Type of Plot menu. You can then adjust the settings for your regression line. Once you have your settings configured, press the Graph button to display the graph with the regression line included.

I understand the frustration of having a more advanced technology than what is needed for a class. However, it is important to remember that having a more advanced calculator can also be an advantage in solving problems.

In this case, it seems like you are having trouble converting the data and creating a graph using your TI-89 Titanium. My suggestion would be to first try to find a manual for your calculator, either online or from a classmate. This will help you understand the features and functions of your calculator and how to use them effectively.

In terms of your specific problems, it seems like you are having trouble turning on the plot function and performing linear regression. For the plot function, make sure you have entered the data correctly in the lists and that you have selected the correct plot type. If you still can't turn it on, try resetting your calculator or checking for any updates.

For linear regression, the process may be different on a TI-89 compared to a TI-84. Again, consulting a manual or looking for online tutorials can be helpful in understanding the steps for performing linear regression on your specific calculator.

Overall, my advice would be to familiarize yourself with the features and functions of your TI-89 Titanium and to seek help from a manual or online resources when needed. Having a more advanced calculator can be a valuable tool in solving problems, but it is important to know how to use it effectively.
