Calculators TI-89 Titanium graphing problem

AI Thread Summary
The issue arises from the incorrect interpretation of the sine function's equation. The expression y2=5+4*sin(pi/12)(x+10) is not being graphed as a sine wave due to the way it is structured. The multiplication of pi/12 with (x+10) is leading to a linear transformation rather than a periodic sine wave. To achieve the expected sine wave, the equation should be formatted correctly, ensuring that the sine function is applied to the entire expression (x+10) rather than just multiplied by it. This misunderstanding is causing the graph to appear as a line instead of the anticipated wave. Adjusting the equation to properly encapsulate the sine function will yield the correct sinusoidal graph.

Hi all, found this forum while looking for a solution to this problem:

When I graph a y1=sin(x) I get the sin wave you would expect.

but...

When I graph y2=5+4*sin(pi/12)(x+10) I get a line instead of a wave?

What gives? I'm in radian, I reset my factory defaults... Am I entering this wrong? Shouldn't that give you a sin wave?

Thanks for your help!

Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'

Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...

Thread 'Is AI hype?'

In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...
