Chapter 1 Ingredients of Change: Functions and Linear Models & 1.1 Fundamentals of Modeling There are many uses for a function that is entered in the graphing list. Graphing the function in an appropriate viewing window is one of these. Because you must enter all functions on one line (that is, you cannot write fractions and exponents the same way you do on paper) it is very important to have a good understanding of the calculatorÕs order of operations and to use parentheses whenever they ar

B-14 TI-85/TI-86 Graphing Calculators Notice that you could have typed the v(t), with input variable t, directly in the solver. The solution is, of course, the same. If there is more than one solution to an equation, you need to give the solver an approximate 2 location for each answer. Suppose you are given q(x) = 8x + 54.65x Ð 163 and asked to find what input(s) correspond to an output of q(x) = 154. (The procedure outlined below also applies to finding where two functions are eq

Chapter 1 B-17 On the TI-85, ¥ The TI-85 interprets y1(y2) as the product of y1 and y2. To have the calculator graph the composite function f(g(x)), you should substitute g(x) everywhere an x appears in f(x). 2 2 For instance, if f(x) = x - 1 is in y1 and g(x) = 0.3x + 5 is in y2, enter y7 = y2 Ð 1 for the o composite function (f g)(x) . On the TI-86, o ¥ Enter y1(y2 ) in y7 to obtain the composite function (f g)(x) = f(g(x)). Both Your calculator will evaluate and graph thes
