FUNCTIONS
Many functions questions can be completed using the TI84.
How to Sketch the Graph in the Calculator
Press
then type the given function into the calculator.
Press
and the calculator will show you an image of
the given function.
Changing the Window
To change the window, press
and change the values
of Xmin, Xmax, Ymin and Ymax.
*Default window
Xmin=-10
Xmax=10
Ymin=-10
Ymax=10
*If a domain is given, use the values for Xmin and Xmax
*If a range is given, use the values for Ymin and Ymax
X Intercepts
An X intercept is the point at which a graph crosses the x
axis.
X intercepts are found in almost the same way as maximum
and minimum points. However, instead of scrolling to
"Minimum"or "Maximum", you should scroll down to "Zero".
Y Intercepts
A Y intercept is the point at which a graph crosses the y axis.
There is no special button used to find Y intercepts, so you
will need to "Trace" the point.
Press
and scroll to the point of interest.
Remember that the x coordinate at the Y intercept must be 0!
Points of Intersection
When asked to sketch two functions, you may need to find
the point(s) at which both functions intersect (meet each
other).
