Chapter 1: Operating the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition

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.

mode does not display complex results unless complex numbers are entered as input.
Two complex modes display complex results.
•
a+b
i
(rectangular complex mode) displays complex numbers in the form a+b
i
.
•
re^
q
i
(polar complex mode) displays complex numbers in the form re^
q
i
.
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.
