Texas Instruments TI-83 Guide

Using a TI-83/TI-84 Graphing Utility:

I. Find and store the roots/zeros of

( ) 12 3

f x x x

= − +

Graph Y

12 3

x x

− +

Zoom 6 for the standard window… [-10, 10]

x [-10, 10]

Zoom Out (Zoom 3 ENTER) to view the other root.

Find the left root:

Press 2

TRACE 2: zero.

Left Bound? Press ENTER on

0 3

= =

Right Bound? Move cursor to the right to get a negative y-coordinate.

Press ENTER on

.85106383 6.488456

x y

= = −

Guess? Press ENTER.

Store left root as A:

Press 2

MODE (to QUIT GRAPH screen and view HOME screen).

Press X,T,

,n STO



ALPHA A ENTER.

Find the right root:

Press 2

TRACE 2: zero.

Left Bound? Move cursor to the right to get a negative y-coordinate.

Press ENTER on

11.06383 7.357628

Guess? Press ENTER.

Store right root as B:

Press 2

MODE (to QUIT GRAPH screen and view HOME screen).

Press X,T,

,n STO



ALPHA B ENTER.

( ) 12 3

f x x x

= − +

has roots/zeros at approximately

(0.225,0)

and

(11.745,0)

Calculate A – B.

A – B

≈

-11.48912529 or A – B

≈

-11.489

NOTE: If you used the rounded values to compute the new problem, you would get

A – B

≈

-11.49…. which is incorrect!

Find and store the intersections of

( ) cos( )

f x x

and

( ) 3 2

g x x

= −

Graph Y

cos( )

and Y

−

Are you in radian mode?

Zoom 6 for the standard window… [-10, 10]

x [-10, 10]

Change the window to view the intersection points….[-3, 3]

x [-5, 5]

Press GRAPH.

Find the left intersection point:

Press 2

TRACE 5: intersect.

First Curve? Move cursor left closer to the left point of intersection.

Press ENTER .

Second Curve? Press ENTER.

Guess? Press ENTER.

Store left x-coordinate as A:

Press 2

MODE (to QUIT GRAPH screen and view HOME screen).

Press X,T,

,n STO



ALPHA A ENTER.

Store left y-coordinate as C:

Press 2

MODE (to QUIT GRAPH screen and view HOME screen).

Press ALPHA Y STO



ALPHA C ENTER.

Find the right intersection point:

Press 2

TRACE 5: intersect.

First Curve? Move cursor right closer to the right point of intersection.

Press ENTER .

Second Curve? Press ENTER.

Guess? Press ENTER.

Store right x-coordinate as B:

Press 2

MODE (to QUIT GRAPH screen and view HOME screen).

Press X,T,

,n STO



ALPHA B ENTER.

Store left y-coordinate as D:

Press 2

MODE (to QUIT GRAPH screen and view HOME screen).

Press ALPHA Y STO



ALPHA D ENTER.

( ) cos( )

f x x

and

( ) 3 2

g x x

= −

have points of intersection at approximately

(

)

0.930,0.597

−

and

(

)

0.930,0.597

Calculate A – B.

A – B

≈

-1.860981941 or A – B

≈

-1.861

NOTE: If you used the rounded values to compute the new problem, you would get

A – B

≈

-1.86…. which is incorrect!

Calculate C + D.

C + D

≈

1.194880677 or C + D

≈

1.195

NOTE: If you used the rounded values to compute the new problem, you would get

C + D

≈

1.194…. which is incorrect!
