Title: Need a program that can solve this problem
Post by: Riddler19 on May 22, 2013, 06:32:37 pm

I've looked but can't find what I am looking for. I'm looking for a program that can solve this problem for the Ti-84

You don't even need a program.
[(3y + 15)/y] / [(y + 5)/y] = (3y + 15) / (y + 5) = 3

I know for that one I do not, however for more complex problems that are similar I'd like to have a program to use.
Could you recommend any?

You might try zoom math 500 however that costs 100 dollars... Other than that, there's not much.
I guess you should be able to do this by hand if you get these as homework...

You should be a little wary of tanking through your homework with programs, especially if your teacher cares enough to dock you points for missing work.

That said, Zoom Math is pretty much the only thing on TI that's gonna do it for you (though AutoCalc (http://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/fileinfo/429/42961.html) might be worth a look).

If the problems that you're having trouble with are all pretty much of the same type, you might consider writing a program yourself: in my experience, that's an excellent way of figuring out how to do the problem on your own, anyway. (In fact, I think I had a BASIC routine around for polynomial division ages ago...)
