SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding a solution for using table functions on the TI-85 calculator, particularly for users facing limitations due to budget constraints. Participants suggest that instead of rewriting values for each x in polynomials, users can utilize the solver feature to input formulas like y=a+bx+cx²+dx³. However, the primary inquiry remains whether a downloadable table program exists for the TI-85 to streamline this process.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of TI-85 calculator functionalities
  • Familiarity with polynomial equations
  • Knowledge of the TI-85 solver feature
  • Basic programming concepts for potential program downloads
NEXT STEPS
  • Research available downloadable programs for the TI-85
  • Explore advanced features of the TI-85 solver
  • Learn about polynomial function input methods on the TI-85
  • Investigate community forums for user-created TI-85 applications
USEFUL FOR

Students, educators, and budget-conscious users of the TI-85 calculator seeking efficient methods for polynomial calculations and table functions.

Hi

Fist of all, sorry if this is in the wrong section.

I'm on a limited budget here and trying to survive with an ancient TI-85. I was doing well until I started needing the table function, now it takes ages to rewrite a value for every x in long polynomials.
Does anyone know of any way to perhaps download a table program or any way to get around the problem for a TI-85?

Not quite sure what you actually need the table function for - can't you put your formula into the solver so you do something like

y=a+bx+cx2+dx3 etc, then enter your values for x to get y?
