Getting to Know Your TI-83/84

Press ? to begin using calculator. To stop, press y ? M. To darken the screen, press y } alternately. To lighten the screen, press y alternately. Press y ? L to reset or clear the memory of the calculator.

1. ? works as the equals key 2. y permits access to the yellow options above the keys 3. permits access to the green alphabetic letters above the keys 4. y 7 alphabetic letter lock 5. ,, prints X in function mode; prints T in parametric mode; prints ! in polar mode; prints n

in sequence graphing mode 6. > is the exponent key (raises to the power entered next) 7. Ois the alphabetic space key (in green, above ?) 8. y> B enters the numerical constant 9. ? is the negative key 10. y?Z recalls the last answer 11. y?[ recalls the most previous entry (repeat for more previous entries) 12. { deletes the character marked by the cursor 13. y{6 permits insertion of a character at the position before the cursor 14. z sets various modes of calculator At present, your calculator should have the following

settings highlighted: Normal, Float, Radian, Function, Connected, Sequential, Real, Full 15. MATH (options) 1. display answer as a fraction

2. display answer as a decimal 3. cube a number 4. take the cube root of a number 5. take the xth root of a number 6. minimum of a function 7. maximum of a function 8. numerical derivative 9. function integral 0. solves for any variable in an equation
