    Input Ti-89
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around using the TI-89 calculator to solve a system of three equations with varying numbers of parts. The equations involve forces represented by variables F_ax, F_ay, and F_c, with specific values substituted for constants. The user initially struggled with inputting the equations correctly into the Simultaneous Equation Solver due to the differing structure of the equations. After some guidance, the user successfully inputted the equations and achieved the desired results. The conversation highlights the calculator's utility for simplifying arithmetic while emphasizing the importance of understanding the underlying problem-solving process.

I have problems with finding out how i can insert these three equations:
index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=399594.jpg


into the TI-89 calcualtor, so i get the 3 answers in the bottom of the picture. I know how to do it if the 3 equations have the same amount of parts/sections, but like you see here the fir equation has 2 parts, but the 2 others have 3 parts. I use the program called Simultaneous Eqn Solver on my TI-89.

Actually, each equation has four parts:
0F_{ax}+ 0F_{ay}+ \frac{8}{\sqrt{20}}F_c+ \frac{800(16)}{\sqrt{20}}= 0
1F_{ax}+ 0F_{ay}+ \frac{-2}{\sqrt{20}}F_c+ \frac{800(4)}{\sqrt{20}}= 0
0F_{ax}+ 1F_{ay}+ \frac{4}{\sqrt{20}}F_c+ \frac{800(2)}{\sqrt{20}}= 0

By the way, 800(16)= 12800, 800(4)= 3200, 800(2)= 1600, and \sqrt{20}= 2\sqrt{5}.

Calculators are good for doing tedious arithemetic. Don't expect them to do your thinking for you! These are close to being trivial to do by hand and it would be good practice. Solve the first equation for F_c, then put that value into each of the other equations.
 
thanx for the help :)
My teacher says that we should input it into a calclator, so we don't need to solve the equations manualy.

i got it to work now when i inputed the equations the way you wrote them :)
 
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...
Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'
I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
