I want to know how to do this so after I find the equation by hand, I can check to see if I am correct.
How do I find the equation of a derivative using a TI-84?

SUMMARY
The TI-84 calculator does not support symbolic execution for finding derivatives. Users can utilize the plotter feature by inputting the differentiation command Math->differentiate(f(a),a,0,x) as y1(x) and comparing it with their predicted derivative y2(x). For accurate symbolic differentiation, tools like Mathematica or Wolfram Alpha are recommended. The TI-89 is also suggested as a viable alternative for those needing symbolic computation capabilities.
