Interpolation on TI 89
No you don't have to download a interpolations program, you can enter it in as a function like this:
:dp(xx1,yy1,xx2,yy2,x)
:Func
:yy1+(yy2-yy1)*((x-xx1) / (xx2-xx1))
:EndFunc
How I do it is, I put it in a folder dc so, you create a folder name dc
2nd key then - key which will be the VAR-LINK key
hit F1 key then the 5 key to create a new folder. Type in what you want to call your folder in my case dc and hit enter.
Next,
Hit APPS key then 7 key then the 3 key, then you see the word program highlighted open it up and change to Function hit enter.
Then slide down to your new folder you just created in my case dc, once you find it highlight it and hit enter.
Next,
slide down to variable and type dc and hit enter.
Next, type in or make it look like this:
:dp(xx1,yy1,xx2,yy2,x)
:Func
:yy1+(yy2-yy1)*((x_xx1)/(xx2-xx1))
:EndFunc
Now when I'm at the home screen in the main folder, I type:
dc\dp(0,0,5,100,2)
And I get 40 for my answer.
Here's my logic:
0,0 is the starting point, let's say my circuit max voltage is 5 volts and my max resistance is 100 ohms. I want to interpolate or know how many ohms I would have if my circuit measured 2 volts, which is 40 ohms.
Now if I had ohms and wanted volts I just set it up like this:
dc\dp(0,0,100,5,40)
which equals 2 volts
i hopethis helps you. raklein62
