Exploring Mathematics: Solving Problems with the TI-84 Plus Graphing Calculator is a useful manual which provides students in precalculus, college algebra, and trigonometry courses with instruction on how to use a graphing calculator to solve a number of problems in their textbook. Students are urged to first make a conjecture about the solution based on their previous experience and knowledge from other math courses, and then test that conjecture with the aid of a graphing calculator. All references in the manual refer to the TI-84 Plus graphing calculator; however many of the keystrokes described also apply to the TI-83 Plus. Topics covered include: Viewing Rectangle, Graphing Equations, Intercepts & Symmetry, Solving Equations, Square Screens, Graphing Inequalities, Systems of Equations, Polar Equations, Parametric Equations, Least Square Line.Preface Correlation of Topics Chart Getting Started Chapter 1: The Viewing Rectangle Chapter 2: Graphing Equations Chapter 3: Locating Intercepts and Checking for Symmetry Chapter 4: Solving Equations Chapter 5: Square Screens Chapter 6: Graphing Inequalities Chapter 7: Solving Systems of Linear Equations Chapter 8: Graphing Polar Equations Chapter 9: Graphing Parametric Equations Chapter 10: Least Squares Line
