Chapter 1: Operating the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition 17
Seq (sequence) graphing mode plots sequences (Chapter 6).
Connected, Dot
Connected plotting mode draws a line connecting each point calculated for the selected functions.
Dot plotting mode plots only the calculated points of the selected functions.
Sequential, Simul
Sequential graphing-order mode evaluates and plots one function completely before the next
function is evaluated and plotted.
Simul (simultaneous) graphing-order mode evaluates and plots all selected functions for a single
value of X and then evaluates and plots them for the next value of X.
Note: Regardless of which graphing mode is selected, the TI-84 Plus will sequentially graph all stat
plots before it graphs any functions.
Real, a+bi, re^qi
Real
mode does not display complex results unless complex numbers are entered as input.
Two complex modes display complex results.
•
a+bi (rectangular complex mode) displays complex numbers in the form a+bi.
•
re^qi (polar complex mode) displays complex numbers in the form re^qi.
Note: When you use the n/d template, both n and d must be real numbers. For example, you can
enter
(the answer is displayed as a decimal value) but if you enter , a data type error
displays. To perform division with a complex number in the numerator or denominator, use regular
division instead of the n/d template.
Full, Horiz, G-T
Full screen mode uses the entire screen to display a graph or edit screen.
Each split-screen mode displays two screens simultaneously.
