    TI-83 Troubleshooting: Graphing Polar Equations in Degrees & Radians

    Anyone know enough about TI-83s to help me out? For some reason whenever I try to graph a polar equation on mine it gives me what the graph should look like for radians when degrees is the mode of choice and vice versa. For example, if I were to graph sin(theta) I get a nice pretty circle when...

    Graphing Trigonometric Functions Question

    Ok I can graph sin(x) , cos(x) , and tan(x) pretty easily, but I'm having a hard time graphing the csc, sec, and cot ones. For the first three I just found the values of pi/2 pi 3pi/2 and 2pi. So for example pi/2 for sin(x) would be sin 90 or sin pi/2 which is equal to 1. I then just put a...

    Is it Time to Ditch Graphing Calculators?

    I have both the TI-89 and the TI-92 graphing calculators. I like them just fine but I can't figure out how to abort a plot. There doesn't seem to be any mention of how to do this in the manual. Once a plot is started there doesn't seem to be any way to stop a plot until it has been...

    Graph f(x)=(1/8)x^3: Explanation & Sketch

    f(x)=(1/8)x^3 I think because the 1/8 is less than 1, therefore it's wider, but if it's greater than 1, it's narrower right? I tried to graph it, but looks like mine was way to wide, and not matching what the answer book had... Can someone explain and sketch it for me? Thanks!

    Graphing Calculators Under $100 for Math Students at School

    My school, for some reason, requires it's math students to own Graphing Calculators. I've been to an office supply store and most of them are at least $100 (Texas Intruments). Although I saw a Casio for just $50. I'm not sure why it's so much cheaper, but that's my main choice right now...
