SUMMARY
The TI-89 graphing calculator only displays the positive half of the function x^(2/3) due to its default settings. In contrast, the TI-84 correctly graphs the entire function. To resolve this issue on the TI-89, users should navigate to the "Mode" menu and change the "Complex Format" setting to "Real." This adjustment allows the TI-89 to graph both halves of the function accurately.
