Hello,
Once you enter an equation the corresponding equal sign is highlighted by default. Before you draw the 2 graphs, move the cursor to Y3 or Y4 and verify that the = signs for Y1 and Y2 remain highlighted. If one is not highlighted, move the cursor on it and press ENTER.

Once all the = signs for all the functions ypu want to draw are highlighted permanently, press the [GRAPH] key.
Depending on the functions ane the window dimensions certain graphs may not show up and one can Zoom out or adjust the window.

If you still have problem, press [2nd][STATPLOTS][4: PlotsOff] [ENTER]
Command PlotsOff echoes on main screen. Press [ENTER], screen displays Done.

If all else fails, just reset the RAM by pressing [2nd][MEM][7:Reset][1:All RAM][2:Reset], press [CLEAR] to clear the message.
You shouild make it a habit to clear the RAM every time you start a new type of problem.

Hope it helps.

    OOPS
    Should read
    Line 5 for all the functions you want to draw
    Line 7 Depending on the functions and the window

SOURCE: graphing multiple lines

You should go to:

  • click on "APPS" button.
  • Then scroll down to "Transfrm" (the last one on the list, I think.)
  • Then "Uninstall".
It should fix it. Hope it helps.

SOURCE: graphing

The first solution will allow you to watch your calculator graph two equations simultaneously rather than finishing one before graphing the next; it won't solve the problem of having the calculator unselect one equation when you select a second. To fix that problem, try the following:


In order to select additional graphs, the Transformation Graphing App will need to be uninstalled from the TI-83 Plus Family and TI-84 Plus Family. Uninstalling the App does not erase it from the calculator, it disables it from interfering with the normal graphing modes. Below are the steps to successfully uninstall the App.

  • Press [APPS] key
  • Select Transfrm from the menu
  • Press 1:Uninstall

SOURCE: graphing problem

YES!  I found out how, but you have to reset everything on your calculator unfortunately clearing out all of your applications and memory.  Here is what you do:
Press 2ND Press + Press 7 Press the right key twice Press Enter Press 2
This looks like it won't do anything but it DOES I'm so happy now!

SOURCE: my graphing calculator won't graph anything

Go to your stat plot screen, and select option 4 (PlotsOff), Press Enter, and try to plot a normal graph again

How do I graph x<-3 on the calculator?

First you must use a graphing calculator.
Most graphing calculators graph functions, i.e. relations of the form y=f(x).
Some graphing calculators are able to graph equations (not necessarily functions). On one of these calculators your draw the vertical line x=-3, then you shade to the left of the point x=-3. That gives you the real line from infinity up to but not including x=-3.
Generally, people do not need calculators to find the solutions to inequalities in just one variable.

How do I get it to graph something like y<2x

Press the Y= key. In the Y1= line, enter 2x+1 for the expression. Repeatedly press the left-arrow key until the cursor blinks over the down-sloping diagonal line at the very left of that line. Press ENTER three times to change the graph mode to a triangle below the diagonal. Press the GRAPH key to see the graph.

If you still have trouble, reply to this post and describe what you're getting.

My calculator wont graph more than one function at a time, how can i fix that?

Hi Lexy,
Chances are, your calculator has a program called "Transfrm" on it that is preventing the calculator from graphing more than one function at a time. Luckily this is easily remedied.

1) Turn calculator on and press the "APPS" key.
2) Scroll down (towards the bottom of the list) and find the "Transfrm" program.
3) With the program highlighted, press the "Enter" key.
4) Highlight the "Uninstall" option and press "Enter".

Once the program is uninstalled, the graphing function of the calculator should be working correctly, allowing you to graph more than one function at a time.

Hope this helps :-)

How do I set the calculator so that I can view several graphs at the same time?

It depends on what you mean by "view several graphs at the same time".
If the graphs use the same/single screen then all you have to do is enter each equation on Yx= line in [Y=] editor. Make sure that each [=] sign after the Yx is highlighted.

If you want graphs drawn side by side on multiple portions of screen, I am afraid that is not possible. All you can do is split the screen horizontally (Horiz in MODE configuration screen) or G-T (graph and Table MODE configuration screen). The Gt-T feature allow you to draw A graph and ITS table) side by side.

I'm graphing a quadratic equation, I have all my info put into the stat area and nothing in the Y= area. When I graph it the points are small boxes, there is no graph line and it won't allow me to do any...

If you're doing a stat plot, you're plotting a discrete set of points. The calculator doesn't interpolate between the data points.

If you want to graph a quadratic equation, then do so. Enter it in as a Y= equation and plot it as such. This will not only connect the points (unless you tell it not to), but will also allow you to do things like trace.

We are graphing more than one line at a time. One

To return your calculator's graphing equation to "Y=", press "MODE" from the home screen, then ensure that the option on the fourth row is set to "Func". Next, to show a hidden graph, access the Y= list, then press the left arrow key until the cursor is over the "=". Press "ENTER" to toggle visibility of that line.

TI-84 silver: Black arrow instead of line in function mode

Hello,
I have answered this question multiple times. I have no idea why you calculator refuses to allow you to choose more graph styles. Maybe you should reset it by clearing the RAM.
Concerning the connected asymptotes.
In truth your function has one aymptote namely the straight line x=2 but your graph has two asymptotic branches, one tends towards -infinity, the other toward + infinity. That they seem connected is an illusion due to the finite resolution of the screen. This is made worse if you select a connected graph instead of a dotted one. I am enclosing a screen capture of the graph for the same function, drawn on a calculator with better resolution.

ea9382c.jpg

This clarification being given, it remains that you still have a problem since you cannot choose other styles. Do try to reset the RAM, and choose dotted graphs. If that does not work, maybe you should update the OS or reinstall it from education.ti.com.
I hope it solves your problem. If it does not, do not blame me, and remember that I tried my best.

The calculator is only graphing a half circle when it should be a full circle, specifically not in the negative y-values of the plane.

A circle is not a function and cannot be graphed in the regular y=screen. You can graph a circle in parametric mode.

To graph a circle in the regular y= screen, you have to graph it in 2 lines on the y= screen. I assume you've solved for y and gotten a square root equation. Remember a square root can be positive or negative. In line 1 of y= screen graph what you've been graphing and then graph the same equation in line 2 but with a negative in front of the equation. You'll get something that looks like an oval since the calculator screen is rectanglular. To make it look more circular (both parts aren't going to connect), press zoom and then select #5 (square).
