Graph X= Equations on the TI-83+ Series
« on: December 19, 2013, 09:48:08 pm »
I want to graph X= equations on the TI-83+ Series.
If I use the inequalz APP, you can only have numbers, not equations (such as sin(y
I have tried doing it with TI-BASIC:
Code: [Select]
Input Str1
For(Y,Ymin,Ymax,.1
pt-on(expr(Str1),Y
End
But sometimes (as in the case of sin(Y^(Y+1)) or sin(sqrt(y))), this does not work.
So is there any way to do this? (Specifically on the TI-84+CSE but also the TI-83+ to TI-84+SE will work too.)

First, change the increment from .1 to ΔY; that way, it's accurate.
Secondly, I think the problem is undefined things. The calculator deals with this by not graphing it, but in the program, it's an error. To deal with this, you'll have to use an If to catch all potential errors. I dunno, checking if it's real will definitely get rid of some. If only TI BASIC had a catch() command... You'll have to manually find all possible errors.

An alternative method is to graph in parametric mode, where Y = T and X = f(T). Make sure you set TMin and TMax equal to YMin and YMax.

Thanks! I'll try it out!

A simple way:
Type your equations as Yn = (Yn being any of the ten equations) - and in the homescreen enter "DrawInv Yn". That swaps X and Y axis around.

I learned something new today.

Ohhhh Thanks Man!
