Hit right and left ?r rows and 2nd and on at the same time. This clears the r?m.

what i would do is go to the home screen and hit f6 and hit 'clear a-z' then you're good.

It's frozen. Hold (at the same time) [←] [→] [2nd] then hit [on]. It clears RAM.

SOURCE: ti-89 titanium SIN!!!!!

The answer that you have received in actuality is correct. However, it is in exact form when the answer that you were looking for was an approximation (decimal form) answer. To achieve this all you have to do is hit the alpha button (the yellow button with a diamond in the center) and then enter which will give you your desired answer :-)

SOURCE: TI-89 Titanium Dimension Error

The folder your operating from could cause you problems. To integrate, I usually do that in the main folder, and I make sure I have all my variables deleted before I begin. The owners manual say under Dimension error is because of different sizes of lists, and that would be caused by undeleted variables.

SOURCE: TI-84 Incorrect sin/cos/tan values

What is so surprising? The sine and cosine functions have ranges that span the closed interval [-1,1]. As to the tangent function, its range is the the whole real line.

This being said, you should keep in mind that there are three angle units: the degree, the radian, and the grad.
When you want to calculate the sine, cosine, or tangent of a number, that number is not just a number. It is an angle, and as an angle it has a unit.

For this reason a calculator generally has two angle units defined (degree and radian), and possibly the grad. BEFORE calculating any trigonometric function you must ascertain that the angle is in the correct unit.

Clearly, in the problem you are trying to solve angle values are given in degrees, but your calculator is configured to interpret angles values in radians.

To set the default angle unit to degree press [MODE] , then press down arrow twice to reach the line (radian, degree). Highlight the word degree and press [ENTER] to set the default angle unit to degree.

Unfortunately the TI 8xPLUS family of calculators does not have a status bar on screen to remind you of the modes, and if you do not remember to check the current unit you get errors (at least unexpected results).

However, there is a way to avoid the errors and that is to enter the unit explicitly after the angle value. To do that you press [2nd][APPS] to open the (ANGLE) menu list. Try it.

  1. First item in list is the degree symbol, a raised 0
  2. 2nd is the minute, an apostrophe
  3. 3rd is radian, a raised r
By selecting the degree symbol and pressing [ENTER}, that symbol echoes on the screen just after the angle value. Closing the right parenthesis of the trigonometric function and pressing [ENTER] will give you the result in the correct unit of your choice. This can be done regardless of the default unit the calculator is configured for.

I try to install software on a ti-89 and the dimension error when I open the program. Faso also commonly when derived from sin (x) the result is not cos (x) more so, 0.017 cos (x)

I do not know the program you installed, so I will skip the part.
As to the derivative of the sine function, your result is correct if the angle unit is degree.
d(sin(x))/dx = cos(x) is true only if the angle unit is the radian. In degrees, you would have a factor Pi/180 which is 0.174532925. I suggest you consult a calculus book to understand where that factor comes from.

How do i enter this question on a ti 89? 5 sin(2 pi 2000 t +60 degrees) does anybody know i would appreciate it.

Hi ssmith63,
Put the calculator in radian angle mode. The top answer is in AUTO mode and, The bottom is in Approx mode.

oneplusgh_47.jpg
I converted 60 degrees into pi/3 radian which equals 1.0472 radians. I figured 5 significant digits was good enough since, you only went 4. If you have any question just post them and, I'll respond quickly.

TI89 is giving wrong answer for the integral of sec(x). Please help. It gives the answer as: ln[ |cos(x) / (sin(x)-1)| ] when it should be ln[ |(sin(x)-1) / cos(x)| ]. Why is it giving the wrong...

Hi danagasta,

If my last instructions did not work then you need to reset your RAM. You are missing the negative sign and, I have no idea where you got the absolute value inside the brackets.
Yes, the absolute value are used in books and, on integral tables but, I can asure you that the Ti 89 should not have produce them in this answer.

I'll stand behind that In( -cos(x) / (sin(x)-1)) is the correct answer. You can go ahead and simplify after the calculation to get the answer you want but, that is the good answer that Ti 89 is going to give you for the integral of sec(x).

Errors that do not match the suspected, I am pretty sure that Texas Instruments would have you clear the RAM. I do not like resetting the RAM but, I could not find the cause to why you got the answer you did. And so far no other expert has produced a solution to convince me otherwise.

I was not able to come up with any of the 3 answers MiB8888 did on my Ti 89. I am not saying that they are not good answers, they are book and integral tables answers. You are not going to get them on the Ti 89.

Sin, cos, and tan do not seem to work properly.

Press "Mode" Check to see if you are in radian mode or degree mode (one of the top categories)
If you are entering your numbers from sin, cos, and tan as degrees and you are in radians, your answers will be off. Same goes for if you are inputting radians while in degree mode. Hope this helps

I have problem with my calculator i have ti-89 titanium ,i get a wrong answer when i put sin 10 it give me -0.544021 and this is wrong .how can i fix it ???????????

The sine of ten radians is -0.544021. If you want the sine of ten degrees or of ten grads, press MODE, down-arrow to Angle, press right-arrow, and select the angular mode you want. Press ENTER to save the change.

Not graphing sin(x)

Make sure you're angular mode is set to radians, not degrees. With the default window range, sin(x) in degrees is virtually indistinguishable from zero.

To change the angular mode, press MODE, down-arrow twice, left/right-arrow to highlight Radian, ENTER to set it, and 2ND [QUIT] to exit.

I need the sine of 5 degrees sin(5) in decimal form, how do I get the answer? when I hit enter it just gives me Sin(5).

Assuming you're in degrees mode instead of radians, press diamond then ENTER to convert a symbolic result to decimal.

This can be done in one step by using diamond ENTER instead of ENTER when first calculating the expression. For example:
2ND [SIN] 5 ) diamond ENTER

All trig-based graphs give me weird results on my TI-89 Titanium. Taking y=sin(x) for instance, I get a clean diagonal line through the point (0,0), almost resembling the graph y=x with window xmin = -10...

You have your angular mode set to degrees. Ten degrees is about 0.17 radians, and for small x: sin(x) is nearly equal to x. Thus, sin(x) from -10 to 10 is indeed nearly a straight diagonal line.

Press MODE, then scroll down to "Angle" to change the angular mode.

Wrong trig ratio

Your calculator is set in radians. Press mode key. Arrow down to 3rd line. Highlight degree and press enter. Your calculator is now in degrees, not radians. To get out of the mode screen and back to home screen, press 2nd and then mode.

Trigonometric functions

Put the calculator in radian mode. Find the sine of the angle (sin(angle)), invert the result (1/x or x^(-1)). csc = 1 / sin
