Calculators TI-89 Titanium graphing problem

AI Thread Summary
The issue arises from the incorrect interpretation of the sine function's equation. The expression y2=5+4*sin(pi/12)(x+10) is not being graphed as a sine wave due to the way it is structured. The multiplication of pi/12 with (x+10) is leading to a linear transformation rather than a periodic sine wave. To achieve the expected sine wave, the equation should be formatted correctly, ensuring that the sine function is applied to the entire expression (x+10) rather than just multiplied by it. This misunderstanding is causing the graph to appear as a line instead of the anticipated wave. Adjusting the equation to properly encapsulate the sine function will yield the correct sinusoidal graph.

Hi all, found this forum while looking for a solution to this problem:

When I graph a y1=sin(x) I get the sin wave you would expect.

but...

When I graph y2=5+4*sin(pi/12)(x+10) I get a line instead of a wave?

What gives? I'm in radian, I reset my factory defaults... Am I entering this wrong? Shouldn't that give you a sin wave?

Thanks for your help!

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...
Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term. I have an MS 365 subscription and I've noticed on my Word documents the small circle with my initials in it is sometimes different in colour document to document (it's the circle at the top right of the doc, that, when you hover over it it tells you you're signed in; if you click on it you get a bit more info). Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...
