Graph Y-Values with TI89 Titanium Graphing Calculator

[chemic_23]

Hello,the <Diamond> + F1 menu allows me to plot only Y= graphs.
I just want to ask if how do I graph in terms of y? is there anyway or you need to really graph it in terms of x? thank you very much...

You can try using the parametric mode to graph like this.

Or another way would be to use the solve() function on the calculator and solve the equation so that you are allowed to enter it in Y editor.

I understand your question and can provide a response. The TI89 Titanium Graphing Calculator is designed to plot functions in terms of x, as this is the standard convention for graphing. However, there are a few ways you can graph in terms of y. One option is to rearrange your function so that it is in terms of x, and then graph it as usual. Another option is to use the "Trace" feature on the calculator, which allows you to input a specific y-value and see where it intersects with the graph. Additionally, you can use the "Parametric" feature on the calculator to graph functions in terms of y. I recommend consulting the user manual for more detailed instructions on these methods. Overall, while the TI89 Titanium is primarily designed for x-values, there are ways to graph in terms of y if needed.
