Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around troubleshooting issues with a TI-84 graphing calculator, specifically related to graphing simultaneous equations. Participants explore potential causes for the calculator's settings changing unexpectedly and share solutions to restore functionality.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant describes a problem where the calculator stops allowing the graphing of simultaneous equations, indicating a change in settings that leads to a different symbol appearing next to function lines.
  • Another participant expresses frustration at being unable to resolve the issue.
  • A third participant suggests that removing or changing batteries while the calculator is on can reset settings to default and erase memory, which may contribute to the problem.
  • A later reply mentions that uninstalling a program called "transfrm" resolved the issue and restored the ability to graph simultaneous equations.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the cause of the issue, but some solutions are proposed and one participant confirms a successful resolution.

Contextual Notes

There are limitations regarding the assumptions about how settings change and the specific impact of battery removal or program installation on the calculator's functionality.

I wasn't sure where to lost this thread so I decided to put it in general discussion. So anyway, on my TI-84 graphing calculator I have been having this weird problem, once in a while a setting will change on its own( not sure how) and then the calculator would stop letting me graph simultaneous equations, and would only graph one function at a time. Usually when you hit the y= button, there would be parallel lines to the left of each function line but for the past few weeks that symbol changed into a triangle and an upright rectangle(for lack of a better description) to the left of the function lines. I am really not sure how to change it back to parallel lines again. If you can help me out that would be great :)

Thank you so much!

I just cannot figure out how to fix it... :/
 
In one problem I may helpful to you..
If u remove batteries or change batteries while TI calculators are on operation then the settings will be changed to default and whole memory (programs) will be erased.
 
Thank you for your help, When I was playing around with my calculator, i guess i must have hit this program called "transfrm" on accident, so when i uninstalled it, I was able to graph simultaneous equations again, and it fixed all of the other problems as well.
