A "TI 89 factoring problem" refers to a mathematical problem that involves using the TI 89 graphing calculator to factor a polynomial expression.
To solve a "TI 89 factoring problem", you will need to enter the polynomial expression into the calculator and then use the factoring function to find the factors of the expression. The calculator will then display the factored form of the expression.
The TI 89 calculator has a built-in factoring function that can quickly and accurately factor polynomial expressions. This saves time and reduces the chances of making mistakes compared to manually factoring the expression.
No, the TI 89 calculator can only factor polynomial expressions with real coefficients. It cannot factor expressions with complex numbers or expressions that involve variables in the exponent.
You can check your answer by multiplying the factors together and comparing the result to the original expression. If they are equal, then your factoring is correct. You can also use the "expand" function on the calculator to expand the factored form and see if it matches the original expression.
