Other TI-83 Features  
Getting Started has introduced you to basic TI.83 operation. This guidebook  
describes in detail the features you used in Getting Started. It also covers the  
other features and capabilities of the TI.83.  
Graphing  
You can store, graph, and analyze up to 10 functions  
(Chapter 3), up to six parametric functions (Chapter 4), up  
to six polar functions (Chapter 5), and up to three  
sequences (Chapter 6). You can use DRAW operations to  
annotate graphs (Chapter 8).  
Sequences  
You can generate sequences and graph them over time. Or,  
you can graph them as web plots or as phase plots  
(Chapter 6).  
Tables  
You can create function evaluation tables to analyze many  
functions simultaneously (Chapter 7).  
Split Screen  
You can split the screen horizontally to display both a  
graph and a related editor (such as the Y= editor), the  
table, the stat list editor, or the home screen. Also, you can  
split the screen vertically to display a graph and its table  
simultaneously (Chapter 9).  
Matrices  
Lists  
You can enter and save up to 10 matrices and perform  
standard matrix operations on them (Chapter 10).  
You can enter and save as many lists as memory allows for  
use in statistical analyses. You can attach formulas to lists  
for automatic computation. You can use lists to evaluate  
expressions at multiple values simultaneously and to graph  
a family of curves (Chapter 11).  
Statistics  
You can perform one- and two-variable, list-based  
statistical analyses, including logistic and sine regression  
analysis. You can plot the data as a histogram, xyLine,  
scatter plot, modified or regular box-and-whisker plot, or  
normal probability plot. You can define and store up to  
three stat plot definitions (Chapter 12).

Inferential  
Statistics  
You can perform 16 hypothesis tests and confidence  
intervals and 15 distribution functions. You can display  
hypothesis test results graphically or numerically  
(Chapter 13).  
Financial  
Functions  
You can use time-value-of-money (TVM) functions to  
analyze financial instruments such as annuities, loans,  
mortgages, leases, and savings. You can analyze the value  
of money over equal time periods using cash flow  
functions. You can amortize loans with the amortization  
functions (Chapter 14).  
CATALOG  
The CATALOG is a convenient, alphabetical list of all  
functions and instructions on the TI.83. You can paste any  
function or instruction from the CATALOG to the current  
cursor location (Chapter 15).  
Programming  
You can enter and store programs that include extensive  
control and input/output instructions (Chapter 16).  
Communication  
Link  
The TI.83 has a port to connect and communicate with  
another TI.83, a TI.82, the Calculator-Based Laboratoryé  
(CBL 2é, CBLé) System, a Calculator-Based Rangeré  
(CBRé), or a personal computer. The unit-to-unit link  
cable is included with the TI.83 (Chapter 19).

The Display  
Types of  
Displays  
The TI.83 displays both text and graphs. Chapter 3  
describes graphs. Chapter 9 describes how the TI.83 can  
display a horizontally or vertically split screen to show  
graphs and text simultaneously.  
Home Screen  
The home screen is the primary screen of the TI.83. On  
this screen, enter instructions to execute and expressions  
to evaluate. The answers are displayed on the same screen.  
Displaying  
Entries and  
Answers  
When text is displayed, the TI.83 screen can display a  
maximum of eight lines with a maximum of 16 characters  
per line. If all lines of the display are full, text scrolls off  
the top of the display. If an expression on the home screen,  
the Y= editor (Chapter 3), or the program editor  
(Chapter 16) is longer than one line, it wraps to the  
beginning of the next line. In numeric editors such as the  
window screen (Chapter 3), a long expression scrolls to  
the right and left.  
When an entry is executed on the home screen, the answer  
is displayed on the right side of the next line.  
Entry  
Answer  
The mode settings control the way the TI.83 interprets  
expressions and displays answers (page 1.9).

Entering Expressions and Instructions  
What Is an  
Expression?  
An expression is a group of numbers, variables, functions  
and their arguments, or a combination of these elements.  
An expression evaluates to a single answer. On the TI.83,  
you enter an expression in the same order as you would  
write it on paper. For example, pR2 is an expression.  
You can use an expression on the home screen to calculate  
an answer. In most places where a value is required, you  
can use an expression to enter a value.  
Entering an  
Expression  
To create an expression, you enter numbers, variables, and  
functions from the keyboard and menus. An expression is  
completed when you press Í, regardless of the cursor  
location. The entire expression is evaluated according to  
Equation Operating System (EOSé) rules (page 1.22), and  
the answer is displayed.  
Most TI.83 functions and operations are symbols  
comprising several characters. You must enter the symbol  
from the keyboard or a menu; do not spell it out. For  
example, to calculate the log of 45, you must press « 45.  
Do not enter the letters L, O, and G. If you enter LOG, the  
TI.83 interprets the entry as implied multiplication of the  
variables L, O, and G.  
Calculate 3.76 ÷ (L7.9 + 5) + 2 log 45.  
3 Ë 76 ¥ £ Ì 7 Ë 9 Ã

Multiple Entries  
on a Line  
To enter two or more expressions or instructions on a line,  
separate them with colons (ƒ [:]). All instructions are  
stored together in last entry (ENTRY; page 1.16).

Entering a  
Number in  
Scientific  
Notation  
To enter a number in scientific notation, follow these  
steps.  
1. Enter the part of the number that precedes the  
exponent. This value can be an expression.  
2. Press y [EE]. å is pasted to the cursor location.  
3. If the exponent is negative, press Ì, and then enter the  
exponent, which can be one or two digits.  
When you enter a number in scientific notation, the TI.83  
does not automatically display answers in scientific or  
engineering notation. The mode settings (page 1.9) and the  
size of the number determine the display format.  
Functions  
A function returns a value. For example, ÷, L, +, (, and log(  
are the functions in the example on page 1.6. In general, the  
first letter of each function is lowercase on the TI.83. Most  
functions take at least one argument, as indicated by an open  
parenthesis ( ( ) following the name. For example, sin(  
requires one argument, sin(value).  
Instructions  
An instruction initiates an action. For example, ClrDraw is  
an instruction that clears any drawn elements from a  
graph. Instructions cannot be used in expressions. In  
general, the first letter of each instruction name is  
uppercase. Some instructions take more than one  
argument, as indicated by an open parenthesis ( ( ) at the  
end of the name. For example, Circle( requires three  
arguments, Circle(X,Y,radius).  
Interrupting a  
Calculation  
To interrupt a calculation or graph in progress, which  
would be indicated by the busy indicator, press É.  
When you interrupt a calculation, the menu is displayed.  
To return to the home screen, select 1:Quit.  
To go to the location of the interruption, select 2:Goto.  
When you interrupt a graph, a partial graph is displayed.  
To return to the home screen, press or any  
nongraphing key.  
To restart graphing, press a graphing key or select a  
graphing instruction.

Normal, Sci, Eng Notation modes only affect the way an answer is displayed  
on the home screen. Numeric answers can be displayed  
with up to 10 digits and a two-digit exponent. You can  
enter a number in any format.  
Normal notation mode is the usual way we express  
numbers, with digits to the left and right of the decimal, as  
in 12345.67.  
Sci (scientific) notation mode expresses numbers in two  
parts. The significant digits display with one digit to the left  
of the decimal. The appropriate power of 10 displays to the  
right of E, as in 1.234567E4.  
Eng (engineering) notation mode is similar to scientific  
notation. However, the number can have one, two, or three  
digits before the decimal; and the power-of-10 exponent is  
a multiple of three, as in 12.34567E3.  
Note: If you select Normal notation, but the answer cannot display in  
10 digits (or the absolute value is less than .001), the TI.83 expresses  
the answer in scientific notation.  
Float,  
0123456789  
Float (floating) decimal mode displays up to 10 digits, plus  
the sign and decimal.  
0123456789 (fixed) decimal mode specifies the number of  
digits (0 through 9) to display to the right of the decimal.  
Place the cursor on the desired number of decimal digits,  
and then press Í.  
The decimal setting applies to Normal, Sci, and Eng  
notation modes.

Func, Par, Pol,  
Seq  
Graphing modes define the graphing parameters. Chapters  
3, 4, 5, and 6 describe these modes in detail.  
Func (function) graphing mode plots functions, where Y is  
a function of X (Chapter 3).  
Par (parametric) graphing mode plots relations, where X  
and Y are functions of T (Chapter 4).  
Pol (polar) graphing mode plots functions, where r is a  
function of q (Chapter 5).  
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.83 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.  
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.  
Horiz (horizontal) mode displays the current graph on  
the top half of the screen; it displays the home screen or  
an editor on the bottom half (Chapter 9).  
G.T (graph-table) mode displays the current graph on  
the left half of the screen; it displays the table screen on  
the right half (Chapter 9).

Ans (Last Answer) Storage Area  
Using Ans in an  
Expression  
When an expression is evaluated successfully from the  
home screen or from a program, the TI.83 stores the  
answer to a storage area called Ans (last answer). Ans may  
be a real or complex number, a list, a matrix, or a string.  
When you turn off the TI.83, the value in Ans is retained in  
memory.  
You can use the variable Ans to represent the last answer in  
most places. Press y [ANS] to copy the variable name Ans  
to the cursor location. When the expression is evaluated, the

you press a key or key combination to display a menu, one  
or more menu names appear on the top line of the screen.  
The menu name on the left side of the top line is  
highlighted. Up to seven items in that menu are  
displayed, beginning with item 1, which also is  
highlighted.  
A number or letter identifies each menu item’s place in  
the menu. The order is 1 through 9, then 0, then A, B, C,  
and so on. The LIST NAMES, PRGM EXEC, and PRGM  
EDIT menus only label items 1 through 9 and 0.  
When the menu continues beyond the displayed items, a  
down arrow ( $ ) replaces the colon next to the last  
displayed item.  
When a menu item ends in an ellipsis, the item displays  
a secondary menu or editor when you select it.  
To display any other menu listed on the top line, press ~  
or | until that menu name is highlighted. The cursor  
location within the initial menu is irrelevant. The menu is  
displayed with the cursor on the first item.

Equation Operating System (EOS™)  
Order of  
Evaluation  
The Equation Operating System (EOSé) defines the order  
in which functions in expressions are entered and  
evaluated on the TI.83. EOS lets you enter numbers and  
functions in a simple, straightforward sequence.  
EOS evaluates the functions in an expression in this order:  
1
2
Single-argument functions that precede the  
argument, such as (, sin(, or log(  
Functions that are entered after the argument,  
such as 2, M1, !, ¡, , and conversions  
r
x
3
4
5
Powers and roots, such as 2^5 or 5 32  
Permutations (nPr) and combinations (nCr)  
Multiplication, implied multiplication, and  
division  
6
7
8
9
Addition and subtraction  
Relational functions, such as > or   
Logic operator and  
Logic operators or and xor  
Within a priority level, EOS evaluates functions from left to  
right.  
Calculations within parentheses are evaluated first.  
2
Multiargument functions, such as nDeriv(A ,A,6), are  
evaluated as they are encountered.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
Implied  
Multiplication  
The TI.83 recognizes implied multiplication, so you need  
not press ¯ to express multiplication in all cases. For  
example, the TI.83 interprets 2p, 4sin(46), 5(1+2), and (2ä5)7  
as implied multiplication.  
Note: TI.83 implied multiplication rules differ from those of the TI.82.  
For example, the TI.83 evaluates 1à2X as (1à2)äX, while the TI.82  
evaluates 1à2X as 1/(2äX) (Chapter 2).  
Parentheses  
All calculations inside a pair of parentheses are completed  
first. For example, in the expression 4(1+2), EOS first  
evaluates the portion inside the parentheses, 1+2, and then  
multiplies the answer, 3, by 4.  
You can omit the close parenthesis ( ) ) at the end of an  
expression. All open parenthetical elements are closed  
automatically at the end of an expression. This is also true  
for open parenthetical elements that precede the store or  
display-conversion instructions.  
Note: An open parenthesis following a list name, matrix name, or Y=  
function name does not indicate implied multiplication. It specifies  
elements in the list (Chapter 11) or matrix (Chapter 10) and specifies a  
value for which to solve the Y= function.  
Negation  
To enter a negative number, use the negation key. Press Ì  
and then enter the number. On the TI.83, negation is in the  
third level in the EOS hierarchy. Functions in the first  
level, such as squaring, are evaluated before negation.  
2
For example, MX , evaluates to a negative number (or 0).  
Use parentheses to square a negative number.  
Note: Use the ¹ key for subtraction and the Ì key for negation. If  
you press ¹ to enter a negative number, as in 9 ¯ ¹ 7, or if you  
press Ì to indicate subtraction, as in 9 Ì 7, an error occurs. If you  
press ƒ A Ì ƒ B, it is interpreted as implied multiplication  
(AäMB).

Getting Started: Coin Flip  
Getting Started is a fast-paced introduction. Read the chapter for details.  
Suppose you want to model flipping a fair coin 10 times. You want to track  
how many of those 10 coin flips result in heads. You want to perform this  
simulation 40 times. With a fair coin, the probability of a coin flip resulting in  
heads is 0.5 and the probability of a coin flip resulting in tails is 0.5.  
1. Begin on the home screen. Press  | to  
display the MATH PRB menu. Press 7 to  
select 7:randBin( (random Binomial).  
randBin( is pasted to the home screen. Press  
10 to enter the number of coin flips. Press  
¢. Press Ë 5 to enter the probability of  
heads. Press ¢. Press 40 to enter the  
number of simulations. Press ¤.  
2. Press Í to evaluate the expression. A  
list of 40 elements is displayed. The list  
contains the count of heads resulting from  
each set of 10 coin flips. The list has 40  
elements because this simulation was  
performed 40 times. In this example, the  
coin came up heads five times in the first  
set of 10 coin flips, five times in the second  
set of 10 coin flips, and so on.  
3. Press ¿ y ãL1ä Í to store the data  
to the list name L1. You then can use the  
data for another activity, such as plotting a  
histogram (Chapter 12).  
4. Press ~ or | to view the additional counts  
in the list. Ellipses (...) indicate that the list  
continues beyond the screen.  
Note: Since randBin( generates random  
numbers, your list elements may differ from those  
in the example.

This is optional, but it may help find the solution more  
quickly. The default is bound={L1å99,1å99}.  
5. Move the cursor to the variable for which you want to  
solve and press ƒ [SOLVE] (above the Í key).  
The solution is displayed next to the variable for  
which you solved. A solid square in the first column  
marks the variable for which you solved and  
indicates that the equation is balanced. An ellipsis  
shows that the value continues beyond the screen.  
Note: When a number continues beyond the screen, be sure to  
press ~ to scroll to the end of the number to see whether it  
ends with a negative or positive exponent. A very small number  
may appear to be a large number until you scroll right to see  
the exponent.

Equations with  
Multiple Roots  
Some equations have more than one solution. You can  
enter a new initial guess (page 2.10) or new bounds  
(page 2.11) to look for additional solutions.  
Further Solutions After you solve for a variable, you can continue to explore  
solutions from the interactive solver editor. Edit the values  
of one or more variables. When you edit any variable value,  
the solid squares next to the previous solution and  
leftNrt=diff disappear. Move the cursor to the variable for  
which you now want to solve and press ƒ [SOLVE].  
Controlling the  
Solution for  
Solver or solve(  
The TI-83 solves equations through an iterative process. To  
control that process, enter bounds that are relatively close  
to the solution and enter an initial guess within those  
bounds. This will help to find a solution more quickly. Also,  
it will define which solution you want for equations with  
multiple solutions.  
Using solve( on

Entering and Using Complex Numbers  
Complex-Number The TI-83 displays complex numbers in rectangular form  
Modes  
and polar form. To select a complex-number mode, press  
z, and then select either of the two modes.  
a+bi (rectangular-complex mode)  
re^qi (polar-complex mode)  
On the TI-83, complex numbers can be stored to variables.  
Also, complex numbers are valid list elements.  
In Real mode, complex-number results return an error,  
unless you entered a complex number as input. For  
example, in Real mode ln(L1) returns an error; in a+bi mode  
ln(L1) returns an answer.

Entering  
Complex  
Numbers  
Complex numbers are stored in rectangular form, but you  
can enter a complex number in rectangular form or polar  
form, regardless of the mode setting. The components of  
complex numbers can be real numbers or expressions that  
evaluate to real numbers; expressions are evaluated when  
the command is executed.  
Note about  
Radian versus  
Degree Mode  
Radian mode is recommended for complex number  
calculations. Internally, the TI-83 converts all entered trig  
values to radians, but it does not convert values for  
exponential, logarithmic, or hyperbolic functions.  
In degree mode, complex identities such as  
e^(iq) = cos(q) + i sin(q) are not generally true because  
the values for cos and sin are converted to radians, while  
those for e^() are not. For example,  
e^(i45) = cos(45) + i sin(45) is treated internally as  
e^(i45) = cos(p/4) + i sin(p/4). Complex identities are  
always true in radian mode.

factory-set seed value for rand is 0. To generate a different  
random-number sequence, store any nonzero seed value to  
rand. To restore the factory-set seed value, store 0 to rand  
or reset the defaults (Chapter 18).

Defining Graphs  
TI-83—Graphing Chapter 3 specifically describes function graphing, but the  
Mode Similarities steps shown here are similar for each TI-83 graphing  
mode. Chapters 4, 5, and 6 describe aspects that are unique  
to parametric graphing, polar graphing, and sequence  
graphing.  
Defining a Graph To define a graph in any graphing mode, follow these  
steps. Some steps are not always necessary.  
1. Press z and set the appropriate graph mode  
(page 3.4).  
2. Press o and enter, edit, or select one or more functions  
in the Y= editor (page 3.5 and 3.7).  
3. Deselect stat plots, if necessary (page 3.7).  
4. Set the graph style for each function (page 3.9).  
5. Press p and define the viewing window variables  
(page 3.11).  
6. Press y [FORMAT] and select the graph format settings  
(page 3.13).

Saving a Graph  
for Later Use  
You can store the elements that define the current graph to  
any of 10 graph database variables (GDB1 through GDB9,  
and GDB0; Chapter 8). To recreate the current graph later,  
simply recall the graph database to which you stored the  
original graph.  
These types of information are stored in a GDB.

Overlaying  
Functions on a  
Graph  
On the TI-83, you can graph one or more new functions  
without replotting existing functions. For example, store  
sin(X) to Y1 in the Y= editor and press s. Then store  
cos(X) to Y2 and press s again. The function Y2 is  
graphed on top of Y1, the original function.  
Graphing a  
If you enter a list (Chapter 11) as an element in an  
Family of Curves expression, the TI-83 plots the function for each value in  
the list, thereby graphing a family of curves. In Simul  
graphing-order mode, it graphs all functions sequentially  
for the first element in each list, and then for the second,  
and so on.  
{2,4,6}sin(X) graphs three functions: 2 sin(X), 4 sin(X), and  
6 sin(X).  
{2,4,6}sin({1,2,3}X) graphs 2 sin(X), 4 sin(2X), and 6 sin(3X).

Exploring Graphs with the Free-Moving Cursor  
Free-Moving  
Cursor  
When a graph is displayed, press |, ~, }, or to move  
the cursor around the graph. When you first display the  
graph, no cursor is visible. When you press |, ~, }, or ,  
the cursor moves from the center of the viewing window.  
As you move the cursor around the graph, the coordinate  
values of the cursor location are displayed at the bottom of  
the screen if CoordOn format is selected. The Float/Fix  
decimal mode setting determines the number of decimal  
digits displayed for the coordinate values.  
To display the graph with no cursor and no coordinate  
values, press or Í. When you press |, ~, }, or  
, the cursor moves from the same position.  
Graphing  
Accuracy  
The free-moving cursor moves from pixel to pixel on the  
screen. When you move the cursor to a pixel that appears  
to be on the function, the cursor may be near, but not  
actually on, the function. The coordinate value displayed at  
the bottom of the screen actually may not be a point on the  
function. To move the cursor along a function, use r  
(page 3.18).  
The coordinate values displayed as you move the cursor  
approximate actual math coordinates, *accurate to within  
the width and height of the pixel. As Xmin, Xmax, Ymin, and  
Ymax get closer together (as in a ZoomIn) graphing  
accuracy increases, and the coordinate values more closely  
approximate the math coordinates.

Free-Moving  
Cursor  
The free-moving cursor in Pol graphing works the same as  
in Func graphing. In RectGC format, moving the cursor  
updates the values of X and Y; if CoordOn format is  
selected, X and Y are displayed. In PolarGC format, X, Y, R,  
and q are updated; if CoordOn format is selected, R and q  
are displayed.  
TRACE  
To activate TRACE, press r. When TRACE is active,  
you can move the trace cursor along the graph of the  
equation one qstep at a time. When you begin a trace, the  
trace cursor is on the first selected function at qmin. If  
ExprOn format is selected, then the equation is displayed.  
In RectGC format, TRACE updates the values of X, Y, and q;  
if CoordOn format is selected, X, Y, and q are displayed. In  
PolarGC format, TRACE updates X, Y, R, and q; if CoordOn  
format is selected, R and q are displayed.  
To move five plotted points at a time on a function, press  
y | or y ~. If you move the trace cursor beyond the  
top or bottom of the screen, the coordinate values at the  
bottom of the screen continue to change appropriately.

Defining and Displaying Sequence Graphs  
TI-83 Graphing  
The steps for defining a sequence graph are similar to the  
Mode Similarities steps for defining a function graph. Chapter 6 assumes that  
you are familiar with Chapter 3: Function Graphing.  
Chapter 6 details aspects of sequence graphing that differ  
from function graphing.  
Setting Sequence To display the mode screen, press z. To graph  
Graphing Mode  
sequence functions, you must select Seq graphing mode  
before you enter window variables and before you enter  
sequence functions.  
Sequence graphs automatically plot in Simul mode,  
regardless of the current plotting-order mode setting.  
TI-83 Sequence  
Functions u, v,  
and w  
The TI-83 has three sequence functions that you can enter  
from the keyboard: u, v, and w. They are above the ¬, ,  
and ® keys.  
You can define sequence functions in terms of:  
The independent variable n  
The previous term in the sequence function, such as  
u(nN1)  
The term that precedes the previous term in the  
sequence function, such as u(nN2)  
The previous term or the term that precedes the  
previous term in another sequence function, such as  
u(nN1) or u(nN2) referenced in the sequence v(n).  
Note: Statements in this chapter about u(n) are also true for v(n) and  
w(n); statements about u(nN1) are also true for v(nN1) and w(nN1);  
statements about u(nN2) are also true for v(nN2) and w(nN2).  
Sequence Graphing 6-3

Displaying the  
Sequence Y=  
Editor  
After selecting Seq mode, press o to display the sequence  
Y= editor.  
In this editor, you can display and enter sequences for u(n),  
v(n), and w(n). Also, you can edit the value for nMin, which  
is the sequence window variable that defines the minimum  
n value to evaluate.  
The sequence Y= editor displays the nMin value because of  
its relevance to u(nMin), v(nMin), and w(nMin), which are the  
initial values for the sequence equations u(n), v(n), and  
w(n), respectively.  
nMin in the Y= editor is the same as nMin in the window  
editor. If you enter a new value for nMin in one editor, the  
new value for nMin is updated in both editors.  
Note: Use u(nMin), v(nMin), or w(nMin) only with a recursive  
sequence, which requires an initial value.  
Selecting Graph  
Styles  
The icons to the left of u(n), v(n), and w(n) represent the  
graph style of each sequence (Chapter 3). The default in  
Seq mode is í (dot), which shows discrete values. Dot,  
ç (line), and è (thick) styles are available for sequence  
graphing. Graph styles are ignored in Web format.  
Selecting and  
Deselecting  
Sequence  
The TI-83 graphs only the selected sequence functions. In  
the Y= editor, a sequence function is selected when the =  
signs of both u(n)= and u(nMin)= are highlighted.  
Functions  
To change the selection status of a sequence function,  
move the cursor onto the = sign of the function name, and  
then press Í. The status is changed for both the  
sequence function u(n) and its initial value u(nMin).

Defining and  
Editing a  
Sequence  
Function  
To define or edit a sequence function, follow the steps in  
Chapter 3 for defining a function. The independent variable  
in a sequence is n.  
In Seq graphing mode, you can enter the sequence variable  
in either of two ways.  
Press .  
Press y [CATALOG] [N].  
You can enter the function name from the keyboard.  
To enter the function name u, press y [u] (above ¬).  
To enter the function name v, press y [v] (above ).  
To enter the function name w, press y [w] (above ®).  
Generally, sequences are either nonrecursive or recursive.  
Sequences are evaluated only at consecutive integer  
values. n is always a series of consecutive integers, starting  
at zero or any positive integer.  
Nonrecursive  
Sequences  
In a nonrecursive sequence, the nth term is a function of  
the independent variable n. Each term is independent of all  
other terms.  
For example, in the nonrecursive sequence below, you can  
calculate u(5) directly, without first calculating u(1) or any  
previous term.  
The sequence equation above returns the sequence  
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, . . . for n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, . . . .  
Note: You may leave blank the initial value u(nMin) when calculating  
nonrecursive sequences.  
Sequence Graphing 6-5  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
Recursive  
Sequences  
In a recursive sequence, the nth term in the sequence is  
defined in relation to the previous term or the term that  
precedes the previous term, represented by u(nN1) and  
u(nN2). A recursive sequence may also be defined in  
relation to n, as in u(n)=u(nN1)+n.  
For example, in the sequence below you cannot calculate  
u(5) without first calculating u(1), u(2), u(3), and u(4).  
Using an initial value u(nMin) = 1, the sequence above  
returns 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, . . .  
Tip: On the TI-83, you must type each character of the terms. For  
example, to enter u(nN1), press y [u] £ „ ¹ À ¤.  
Recursive sequences require an initial value or values,  
since they reference undefined terms.  
If each term in the sequence is defined in relation to the  
previous term, as in u(nN1), you must specify an initial  
value for the first term.  
If each term in the sequence is defined in relation to the  
term that precedes the previous term, as in u(nN2), you  
must specify initial values for the first two terms. Enter  
the initial values as a list enclosed in braces ({ }) with  
commas separating the values.  
The value of the first term is 0 and the value of the second  
term is 1 for the sequence u(n).

Smallest Y value to be displayed  
Largest Y value to be displayed  
Spacing between the Y tick marks  
nMin must be an integer 0. nMax, PlotStart, and PlotStep  
must be integers 1.  
nMin is the smallest n value to evaluate. nMin also is  
displayed in the sequence Y= editor. nMax is the largest n  
value to evaluate. Sequences are evaluated at u(nMin),  
u(nMin+1), u(nMin+2) , . . . , u(nMax).  
PlotStart is the first term to be plotted. PlotStart=1 begins  
plotting on the first term in the sequence. If you want  
plotting to begin with the fifth term in a sequence, for  
example, set PlotStart=5. The first four terms are evaluated  
but are not plotted on the graph.  
PlotStep is the incremental n value for graphing only.  
PlotStep does not affect sequence evaluation; it only  
designates which points are plotted on the graph. If you  
specify PlotStep=2, the sequence is evaluated at each  
consecutive integer, but it is plotted on the graph only at  
every other integer.

Exploring Sequence Graphs  
Free-Moving  
Cursor  
The free-moving cursor in Seq graphing works the same as  
in Func graphing. In RectGC format, moving the cursor  
updates the values of X and Y; if CoordOn format is  
selected, X and Y are displayed. In PolarGC format, X, Y, R,  
and q are updated; if CoordOn format is selected, R and q  
are displayed.  
TRACE  
The axes format setting affects TRACE.  
When Time, uv, vw, or uw axes format is selected, TRACE  
moves the cursor along the sequence one PlotStep  
increment at a time. To move five plotted points at once,  
press y ~ or y |.  
When you begin a trace, the trace cursor is on the first  
selected sequence at the term number specified by  
PlotStart, even if it is outside the viewing window.  
Quick Zoom applies to all directions. To center the  
viewing window on the current cursor location after  
you have moved the trace cursor, press Í. The  
trace cursor returns to nMin.  
In Web format, the trail of the cursor helps identify points  
with attracting and repelling behavior in the sequence.  
When you begin a trace, the cursor is on the x-axis at the  
initial value of the first selected function.  
Tip: To move the cursor to a specified n during a trace, enter a value  
for n, and press Í. For example, to quickly return the cursor to the  
beginning of the sequence, paste nMin to the n= prompt and press  
Í.

ZOOM  
ZOOM operations in Seq graphing work the same as in  
Func graphing. Only the X (Xmin, Xmax, and Xscl) and Y  
(Ymin, Ymax, and Yscl) window variables are affected.  
PlotStart, PlotStep, nMin, and nMax are only affected when  
you select ZStandard. The VARS Zoom secondary menu ZU  
items 1 through 7 are the ZOOM MEMORY variables for Seq  
graphing.  
CALC  
The only CALC operation available in Seq graphing is value.  
When Time axes format is selected, value displays Y (the  
u(n) value) for a specified n value.  
When Web axes format is selected, value draws the web  
and displays Y (the u(n) value) for a specified n value.  
When uv, vw, or uw axes format is selected, value  
displays X and Y according to the axes format setting.  
For example, for uv axes format, X represents u(n) and  
Y represents v(n).  
Evaluating u, v,  
and w  
To enter the sequence names u, v, or w, press y [u], [v], or  
[w]. You can evaluate these names in any of three ways.  
Calculate the nth value in a sequence.  
Calculate a list of values in a sequence.

Plot  
To select Web axes format, press y [FORMAT] ~ Í. A  
web plot graphs u(n) versus u(nN1), which you can use to  
study long-term behavior (convergence, divergence, or  
oscillation) of a recursive sequence. You can see how the  
sequence may change behavior as its initial value changes.  
Valid Functions  
for Web Plots  
When Web axes format is selected, a sequence will not  
graph properly or will generate an error.  
It must be recursive with only one recursion level  
(u(nN1) but not u(nN2)).  
It cannot reference n directly.  
It cannot reference any defined sequence except itself.

The TI-83:  
Draws a y=x reference line in AxesOn format.  
Plots the selected sequences with u(nN1) as the  
independent variable.  
Note: A potential convergence point occurs whenever a sequence  
intersects the y=x reference line. However, the sequence may or may  
not actually converge at that point, depending on the sequence’s initial  
value.  
Drawing the Web To activate the trace cursor, press r. The screen  
displays the sequence and the current n, X, and Y values (X  
represents u(nN1) and Y represents u(n)). Press ~  
repeatedly to draw the web step by step, starting at nMin.  
In Web format, the trace cursor follows this course.  
1. It starts on the x-axis at the initial value u(nMin) (when  
PlotStart=1).  
2. It moves vertically (up or down) to the sequence.  
3. It moves horizontally to the y=x reference line.  
4. It repeats this vertical and horizontal movement as you  
continue to press ~.

What Is a Graph  
Database?  
A graph database (GDB) contains the set of elements that  
defines a particular graph. You can recreate the graph from  
these elements. You can store up to 10 GDBs in variables  
GDB1 through GDB9, or GDB0 and recall them to recreate  
graphs.

Defining a Matrix  
What Is a Matrix? A matrix is a two-dimensional array. You can display,  
define, or edit a matrix in the matrix editor. The TI-83 has  
10 matrix variables, [A] through [J]. You can define a  
matrix directly in an expression. A matrix, depending on  
available memory, may have up to 99 rows or columns.  
You can store only real numbers in TI-83 matrices.  
Selecting a  
Matrix  
Before you can define or display a matrix in the editor, you  
first must select the matrix name. To do so, follow these  
steps.  
1. Press Ž | to display the MATRX EDIT menu. The  
dimensions of any previously defined matrices are  
displayed.  
2. Select the matrix you want to define. The MATRX EDIT  
screen is displayed.

Changing Matrix displayed on the top line. The dimensions of a new matrix  
Dimensions  
are 1 ×1. You must accept or change the dimensions each  
time you edit a matrix. When you select a matrix to define,  
the cursor highlights the row dimension.  
To accept the row dimension, press Í.  
To change the row dimension, enter the number of rows  
(up to 99), and then press Í.  
The cursor moves to the column dimension, which you  
must accept or change the same way you accepted or  
changed the row dimension. When you press Í, the  
rectangular cursor moves to the first matrix element.

Naming Lists  
Using TI-83 List  
Names L1  
through L6  
The TI-83 has six list names in memory: L1, L2, L3, L4, L5,  
and L6. The list names L1 through L6 are on the keyboard  
above the numeric keys À through ¸. To paste one of  
these names to a valid screen, press y, and then press  
the appropriate key. L1 through L6 are stored in stat list  
editor columns 1 through 6 when you reset memory.  
Creating a List  
Name on the  
Home Screen  
To create a list name on the home screen, follow these steps.  
1. Press y [ { ], enter one or more list elements, and then  
press y [ } ]. Separate list elements with commas. List  
elements can be real numbers, complex numbers, or  
expressions.  
2. Press ¿.  
3. Press ƒ [letter from A to Z or q] to enter the first  
letter of the name.  
4. Enter zero to four letters, q, or numbers to complete the  
name.  
5. Press Í. The list is displayed on the next line. The  
list name and its elements are stored in memory. The  
list name becomes an item on the LIST NAMES menu.  
Note: If you want to view a user-created list in the stat list editor,  
you must store it in the stat list editor (Chapter 12).  
You also can create a list name in these four places.  
At the Name= prompt in the stat list editor  
At an Xlist:, Ylist:, or Data List: prompt in the stat plot  
editor  
At a List:, List1:, List2:, Freq:, Freq1:, Freq2:, XList:, or

Entering List Names  
Using the  
LIST NAMES  
Menu  
To display the LIST NAMES menu, press y [LIST]. Each  
item is a user-created list name. LIST NAMES menu items are  
sorted automatically in alphanumerical order. Only the first  
10 items are labeled, using 1 through 9, then 0. To jump to  
the first list name that begins with a particular alpha  
character or q, press ƒ [letter from A to Z or q].  
Tip: From the top of a menu, press } to move to the bottom. From the  
bottom, press to move to the top.  
Note: The LIST NAMES menu omits list names L1 through L6. Enter  
L1 through L6 directly from the keyboard (page 11.3).  
When you select a list name from the LIST NAMES menu,  
the list name is pasted to the current cursor location.  
The list name symbol Ù precedes a list name when the  
name is pasted where non-list name data also is valid,  
such as the home screen.  
The Ù symbol does not precede a list name when the  
name is pasted where a list name is the only valid input,  
such as the stat list editor’s Name= prompt or the stat  
plot editor’s XList: and YList: prompts.  
Entering a User-  
Created List  
Name Directly  
To enter an existing list name directly, follow these steps.  
1. Press y [LIST] ~ to display the LIST OPS menu.  
2. Select B:Ù, which pastes Ù to the current cursor location.  
Ù is not always necessary (page 11.16).

Attaching Formulas to List Names  
Attaching a  
You can attach a formula to a list name so that each list  
Formula to a List element is a result of the formula. When executed, the  
Name  
attached formula must resolve to a list.  
When anything in the attached formula changes, the list to  
which the formula is attached is updated automatically.  
When you edit an element of a list that is referenced in  
the formula, the corresponding element in the list to  
which the formula is attached is updated.  
When you edit the formula itself, all elements in the list  
to which the formula is attached are updated.  
For example, the first screen below shows that elements  
are stored to L3, and the formula L3+10 is attached to the  
list name ÙADD10. The quotation marks designate the  
formula to be attached to ÙADD10. Each element of ÙADD10  
is the sum of an element in L3 and 10.  
The next screen shows another list, L4. The elements of L4  
are the sum of the same formula that is attached to L3.  
However, quotation marks are not entered, so the formula  
is not attached to L4.  
On the next line, L6!L3(1):L3 changes the first element in L3  
to L6, and then redisplays L3.  
The last screen shows that editing L3 updated ÙADD10, but  
did not change L4. This is because the formula L3+10 is  
attached to ÙADD10, but it is not attached to L4.  
Note: To view a formula that is attached to a list name, use the stat list  
editor (Chapter 12).

on the Home  
Screen or in a  
Program  
1. Press ƒ [ã], enter the formula (which must resolve to  
a list), and press ƒ [ã] again.  
Note: When you include more than one list name in a formula,  
each list must have the same dimension.  
2. Press ¿.  
3. Enter the name of the list to which you want to attach  
the formula.  
Press y, and then enter a TI-83 list name L1  
through L6.  
Press y [LIST] and select a user.created list name  
from the LIST NAMES menu.  
Enter a user.created list name directly using Ù (page  
11.16).  
4. Press Í.  
Note: The stat list editor displays a formula-lock symbol next to  
each list name that has an attached formula. Chapter 12 describes  
how to use the stat list editor to attach formulas to lists, edit  
attached formulas, and detach formulas from lists.  
Detaching a  
Formula from a  
List  
You can detach (clear) an attached formula from a list in  
any of three ways.  
Enter ""!listname on the home screen.  
Edit any element of a list to which a formula is  
attached.  
Use the stat list editor (Chapter 12).  
Note: You also can use ClrList or ClrAllList to detach a formula  
from a list (Chapter 18).

Using Lists in Expressions  
Using a List in an You can use lists in an expression in any of three ways.  
Expression  
When you press Í, any expression is evaluated for  
each list element, and a list is displayed.  
Use L1L6 or any user-created list name in an expression.  
Enter the list elements directly (step 1 on page 11.3).  
Use y [RCL] to recall the contents of the list into an  
expression at the cursor location (Chapter 1).  
&
Note: You must paste user-created list names to the Rcl prompt by  
selecting them from the LIST NAMES menu. You cannot enter them  
directly using Ù.  
Using Lists with  
Math Functions  
You can use a list to input several values for some math  
functions. Other chapters and Appendix A specify whether  
a list is valid. The function is evaluated for each list  
element, and a list is displayed.  
When you use a list with a function, the function must  
be valid for every element in the list. In graphing, an  
invalid element, such as L1 in ({1,0,L1}), is ignored.  
This returns an error.  
This graphs Xä(1) and Xä(0),  
but skips Xä(L1).  
When you use two lists with a two-argument function,  
the dimension of each list must be the same. The  
function is evaluated for corresponding elements.  
When you use a list and a value with a two-argument  
function, the value is used with each element in the list.

Getting Started: Pendulum Lengths and Periods  
Getting Started is a fast-paced introduction. Read the chapter for details.  
A group of students is attempting to determine the mathematical relationship  
between the length of a pendulum and its period (one complete swing of a  
pendulum). The group makes a simple pendulum from string and washers and  
then suspends it from the ceiling. They record the pendulum’s period for each  
of 12 string lengths.*

When a list with a formula attached is displayed in the stat

each edit or entry than when no lists with formulas  
attached are in view.  
Tip: To speed editing time, scroll horizontally until no lists with

Handling Errors  
Resulting from

On the home screen, you can attach to a list a formula that  
references another list with dimension 0 (Chapter 11).  
However, you cannot display the formula-generated list in  
the stat list editor or on the home screen until you enter at  
least one element to the list that the formula references.  
Formulas  
All elements of a list referenced by an attached formula  
must be valid for the attached formula. For example, if  
Real number mode is set and the attached formula is  
log(L1), then each element of L1 must be greater than 0,  
since the logarithm of a negative number returns a  
complex result.  
Tip: If an error menu is returned when you attempt to display a  
formula-generated list in the stat list editor, you can select 2:Goto,  
write down the formula that is attached to the list, and then press  
‘ Í to detach (clear) the formula. You then can use the stat  
list editor to find the source of the error. After making the appropriate  
changes, you can reattach the formula to a list.  
If you do not want to clear the formula, you can select 1:Quit, display  
the referenced list on the home screen, and find and edit the source of  
the error. To edit an element of a list on the home screen, store the

display one or more listnames in the order that you  
specify. You can specify zero to 20 listnames.  
SetUpEditor [listname1,listname2,...,listname n]  
SetUpEditor with one to 20 listnames removes all list  
names from the stat list editor and then stores listnames in  
the stat list editor columns in the specified order,  
beginning in column 1.  
If you enter a listname that is not stored in memory  
already, then listname is created and stored in memory; it  
becomes an item on the LIST NAMES menu.  
Restoring L1  
SetUpEditor with no listnames removes all list names from  
through L6 to the the stat list editor and restores list names L1 through L6 in  
Stat List Editor  
the stat list editor columns 1 through 6.

Regression Model Features  
Regression  
Model Features  
STAT CALC menu items 3 through C are regression models  
(page 12.24). The automatic residual list and automatic  
regression equation features apply to all regression  
models. Diagnostics display mode applies to some  
regression models.  
Automatic  
Residual List  
When you execute a regression model, the automatic  
residual list feature computes and stores the residuals to  
the list name RESID. RESID becomes an item on the  
LIST NAMES menu (Chapter 11).  
The TI-83 uses the formula below to compute RESID list  
elements. The next section describes the variable RegEQ.  
RESID = Ylistname N RegEQ(Xlistname)  
Automatic  
Regression  
Equation  
Each regression model has an optional argument, regequ, for  
which you can specify a Y= variable such as Y1. Upon  
execution, the regression equation is stored automatically to  
the specified Y= variable and the Y= function is selected.  
Regardless of whether you specify a Y= variable for regequ,  
the regression equation always is stored to the TI-83  
variable RegEQ, which is item 1 on the VARS Statistics EQ  
secondary menu.  
Note: For the regression equation, you can use the fixed-decimal  
mode setting to control the number of digits stored after the decimal  
point (Chapter 1). However, limiting the number of digits to a small  
number could affect the accuracy of the fit.

Diagnostics  
Display Mode  
When you execute some regression models, the TI-83  
computes and stores diagnostics values for r (correlation  
2
2
coefficient) and r (coefficient of determination) or for R  
(coefficient of determination).

r and r are computed and stored for these regression  
models.

LinReg(a+bx)  
LnReg  
ExpReg  
PwrReg  
2
R is computed and stored for these regression models.  
QuadReg  
CubicReg  
QuartReg  
2
The r and r that are computed for LnReg, ExpReg, and  
PwrReg are based on the linearly transformed data. For  
2
example, for ExpReg (y=ab^x), r and r are computed on  
ln y=ln a+x(ln b).  
By default, these values are not displayed with the results  
of a regression model when you execute it. However, you  
can set the diagnostics display mode by executing the  
DiagnosticOn or DiagnosticOff instruction. Each instruction  
is in the CATALOG (Chapter 15).  
Note: To set DiagnosticOn or DiagnosticOff from the home  
screen, press y [CATALOG], and then select the instruction for the  
mode you want. The instruction is pasted to the home screen. Press  
Í to set the mode.  
When DiagnosticOn is set, diagnostics are displayed with  
the results when you execute a regression model.  
When DiagnosticOff is set, diagnostics are not displayed  
with the results when you execute a regression model.

For each STAT CALC menu item, if neither Xlistname nor  
Ylistname is specified, then the default list names are L1  
and L2. If you do not specify freqlist, then the default is 1  
occurrence of each list element.  
Frequency of  
Occurrence for  
Data Points  
For most STAT CALC menu items, you can specify a list of  
data occurrences, or frequencies (freqlist).  
Each element in freqlist indicates how many times the  
corresponding data point or data pair occurs in the data set  
you are analyzing.  
For example, if L1={15,12,9,14} and ÙFREQ={1,4,1,3}, then  
the TI-83 interprets the instruction 1.Var Stats L1, ÙFREQ to  
mean that 15 occurs once, 12 occurs four times, 9 occurs  
once, and 14 occurs three times.  
Each element in freqlist must be 0, and at least one  
element must be > 0.  
Noninteger freqlist elements are valid. This is useful when  
entering frequencies expressed as percentages or parts  
that add up to 1. However, if freqlist contains noninteger  
frequencies, Sx and Sy are undefined; values are not  
displayed for Sx and Sy in the statistical results.

SinReg (sinusoidal regression) fits the model equation  
y=a sin(bx+c)+d to the data using an iterative least-squares  
fit. It displays values for a, b, c, and d. At least four data  
points are required. At least two data points per cycle are  
required in order to avoid aliased frequency estimates.  
SinReg [iterations,Xlistname,Ylistname,period,regequ]  
iterations is the maximum number of times the algorithm  
will iterate to find a solution. The value for iterations can  
be an integer 1 and  16; if not specified, the default is 3.  
The algorithm may find a solution before iterations is  
reached. Typically, larger values for iterations result in  
longer execution times and better accuracy for SinReg, and  
vice versa.  
A period guess is optional. If you do not specify period, the  
difference between time values in Xlistname must be equal  
and the time values must be ordered in ascending  
sequential order. If you specify period, the algorithm may  
find a solution more quickly, or it may find a solution when  
it would not have found one if you had omitted a value for  
period. If you specify period, the differences between time  
values in Xlistname can be unequal.  
Note: The output of SinReg is always in radians, regardless of the  
Radian/Degree mode setting.  
A SinReg example is shown on the next page.

1 period  
With noisy data, you will achieve better convergence  
results when you specify an accurate estimate for period.  
You can obtain a period guess in either of two ways.  
Plot the data and trace to determine the x-distance  
between the beginning and end of one complete period,  
or cycle. The illustration above and to the right  
graphically depicts a complete period, or cycle.  
Plot the data and trace to determine the x-distance  
between the beginning and end of N complete periods,  
or cycles. Then divide the total distance by N.  
After your first attempt to use SinReg and the default value  
for iterations to fit the data, you may find the fit to be  
approximately correct, but not optimal. For an optimal fit,  
execute SinReg 16,Xlistname,Ylistname,2p / b where b is  
the value obtained from the previous SinReg execution.

Statistical Plotting  
Steps for Plotting You can plot statistical data that is stored in lists. The six  
Statistical Data in types of plots available are scatter plot, xyLine, histogram,  
Lists  
modified box plot, regular box plot, and normal probability  
plot. You can define up to three plots.  
To plot statistical data in lists, follow these steps.  
1. Store the stat data in one or more lists.  
2. Select or deselect Y= functions as appropriate.  
3. Define the stat plot.  
4. Turn on the plots you want to display.  
5. Define the viewing window.  
6. Display and explore the graph.  
"
(Scatter)  
Scatter plots plot the data points from Xlist and Ylist as  
coordinate pairs, showing each point as a box ( ), cross  
( + ), or dot ( ¦ ). Xlist and Ylist must be the same length.  
You can use the same list for Xlist and Ylist.  
Ó
(xyLine)  
xyLine is a scatter plot in which the data points are plotted  
and connected in order of appearance in Xlist and Ylist.  
You may want to use SortA( or SortD( to sort the lists  
before you plot them (page 12.20).

Ò
(Histogram)  
Histogram plots one-variable data. The Xscl window variable  
value determines the width of each bar, beginning at Xmin.  
ZoomStat adjusts Xmin, Xmax, Ymin, and Ymax to include all  
values, and also adjusts Xscl. The inequality  
(Xmax N Xmin) à Xscl  47 must be true. A value that occurs  
on the edge of a bar is counted in the bar to the right.  
Õ
(ModBoxplot)  
ModBoxplot (modified box plot) plots one-variable data,  
like the regular box plot, except points that are 1.5 ä  
Interquartile Range beyond the quartiles. (The Interquartile  
Range is defined as the difference between the third  
quartile Q3 and the first quartile Q1.) These points are  
plotted individually beyond the whisker, using the Mark  
(or + or ¦) you select. You can trace these points, which  
are called outliers.  
The prompt for outlier points is x=, except when the outlier  
is the maximum point (maxX) or the minimum point  
(minX). When outliers exist, the end of each whisker will  
display x=. When no outliers exist, minX and maxX are the  
prompts for the end of each whisker. Q1, Med (median),  
and Q3 define the box (page 12.29).  
Box plots are plotted with respect to Xmin and Xmax, but  
ignore Ymin and Ymax. When two box plots are plotted, the  
first one plots at the top of the screen and the second plots  
in the middle. When three are plotted, the first one plots at  
the top, the second in the middle, and the third at the  
bottom.

(Boxplot)  
Boxplot (regular box plot) plots one-variable data. The  
whiskers on the plot extend from the minimum data point  
in the set (minX) to the first quartile (Q1) and from the third  
quartile (Q3) to the maximum point (maxX). The box is  
defined by Q1, Med (median), and Q3 (page 12.29).  
Box plots are plotted with respect to Xmin and Xmax, but  
ignore Ymin and Ymax. When two box plots are plotted, the  
first one plots at the top of the screen and the second plots

the top, the second in the middle, and the third at the  
bottom.  
Ô
(NormProbPlot)  
NormProbPlot (normal probability plot) plots each  
observation X in Data List versus the corresponding  
quantile z of the standard normal distribution. If the plotted  
points lie close to a straight line, then the plot indicates  
that the data are normal.  
Enter a valid list name in the Data List field. Select X or Y  
for the Data Axis setting.  
If you select X, the TI-83 plots the data on the x-axis and  
the z-values on the y-axis.  
If you select Y, the TI-83 plots the data on the y-axis and  
the z-values on the x-axis.

Getting Started: Mean Height of a Population  
Getting Started is a fast-paced introduction. Read the chapter for details.  
Suppose you want to estimate the mean height of a population of women given  
the random sample below. Because heights among a biological population tend  
to be normally distributed, a t distribution confidence interval can be used  
when estimating the mean. The 10 height values below are the first 10 of 90  
values, randomly generated from a normally distributed population with an  
assumed mean of 165.1 cm. and a standard deviation of 6.35 cm.  
(randNorm(165.1,6.35,90) with a seed of 789).  
Height (in cm.) of Each of 10 Women  
169.43 168.33 159.55 169.97 159.79 181.42 171.17 162.04 167.15 159.53

The first line, (159.74,173.94), shows that the 99 percent confidence interval for  
the population mean is between about 159.74 cm. and 173.94 cm. This is about  
a 14.2 cm. spread.  
The .99 confidence level indicates that in a very large number of samples, we  
expect 99 percent of the intervals calculated to contain the population mean.  
The actual mean of the population sampled is 165.1 cm. (introduction; page  
13.2), which is in the calculated interval.  
The second line gives the mean height of the sample þ used to compute this  
interval. The third line gives the sample standard deviation Sx. The bottom line  
gives the sample size n.

The TVM Solver displays the time-value-of-money (TVM)  
variables. Given four variable values, the TVM Solver solves  
for the fifth variable.  
The FINANCE VARS menu section (page 14.14) describes  
the five TVM variables (Ú, æ, PV, PMT, and FV) and P/Y and  
C/Y.  
PMT: END BEGIN in the TVM Solver corresponds to the

of each period) and Pmt_Bgn (payment at the beginning of  
each period).  
To solve for an unknown TVM variable, follow these steps.  
1. Press y [FINANCE] Í to display the TVM Solver. The  
screen below shows the default values with the fixed-  
decimal mode set to two decimal places.  
2. Enter the known values for four TVM variables.

same value for C/Y; if P/Y ƒ C/Y, enter a unique value for  
C/Y.  
4. Select END or BEGIN to specify the payment method.  
5. Place the cursor on the TVM variable for which you  
want to solve.  
6. Press ƒ [SOLVE]. The answer is computed,

Calculating Time Use time-value-of-money (TVM) functions (menu items 2  
Value of Money  
through 6) to analyze financial instruments such as  
annuities, loans, mortgages, leases, and savings.  
Each TVM function takes zero to six arguments, which  
must be real numbers. The values that you specify as  
arguments for these functions are not stored to the TVM  
variables (page 14.14).  
Note: To store a value to a TVM variable, use the TVM Solver (page  
14.4) or use ¿ and any TVM variable on the FINANCE VARS  
menu (page 14.14).  
If you enter less than six arguments, the TI-83 substitutes a  
previously stored TVM variable value for each unspecified  
argument.  
If you enter any arguments with a TVM function, you must  
place the argument or arguments in parentheses.  
tvm_Pmt  
tvm_Pmt computes the amount of each payment.  
tvm_Pmt[(Ú,æ,PV,FV,P/Y,C/Y)]  
Note: In the example above, the values are stored to the TVM  
variables in the TVM Solver. Then the payment (tvm_Pmt) is  
computed on the home screen using the values in the TVM Solver.  
Next, the interest rate is changed to 9.5 to illustrate the effect on the

Calculating Cash Flows  
Calculating a  
Cash Flow  
Use the cash flow functions (menu items 7 and 8) to  
analyze the value of money over equal time periods. You  
can enter unequal cash flows, which can be cash inflows or  
outflows. The syntax descriptions for npv( and irr( use  
these arguments.  
interest rate is the rate by which to discount the cash  
flows (the cost of money) over one period.  
CF0 is the initial cash flow at time 0; it must be a real  
number.  
CFList is a list of cash flow amounts after the initial  
cash flow CF0.  
CFFreq is a list in which each element specifies the  
frequency of occurrence for a grouped (consecutive)  
cash flow amount, which is the corresponding element  
of CFList. The default is 1; if you enter values, they  
must be positive integers < 10,000.  
For example, express this uneven cash flow in lists.

Use the date function dbd( (menu item D) to calculate the  
number of days between two dates using the actual-day-  
count method. date1 and date2 can be numbers or lists of  
numbers within the range of the dates on the standard  
calendar.  
Note: Dates must be between the years 1950 through 2049.  
dbd(date1,date2)  
You can enter date1 and date2 in either of two formats.  
MM.DDYY (United States)  
DDMM.YY (Europe)  
The decimal placement differentiates the date formats.

Payment Method transaction as an ordinary annuity or an annuity due. When  
you execute either command, the TVM Solver is updated.  
Pmt_End  
Pmt_End (payment end) specifies an ordinary annuity,  
where payments occur at the end of each payment period.  
Most loans are in this category. Pmt_End is the default.  
Pmt_End  
On the TVM Solver’s PMT:END BEGIN line, select END to set  
PMT to ordinary annuity.  
Pmt_Bgn  
Pmt_Bgn (payment beginning) specifies an annuity due,

Ú, æ, PV, PMT,  
FV  
Ú, æ, PV, PMT, and FV are the five TVM variables. They  
represent the elements of common financial transactions,  
as described in the table above. æ is an annual interest rate  
that is converted to a per-period rate based on the values  
of P/Y and C/Y.  
P/Y and C/Y  
P/Y is the number of payment periods per year in a  
financial transaction.  
C/Y is the number of compounding periods per year in the  
same transaction.  
When you store a value to P/Y, the value for C/Y  
automatically changes to the same value. To store a unique  
value to C/Y, you must store the value to C/Y after you have  
stored a value to P/Y.

While  
While performs a group of commands while condition is  
true. condition is frequently a relational test (Chapter 2).  
condition is tested when While is encountered. If  
condition is true (nonzero), the program executes a group  
of commands. End signifies the end of the group. When  
condition is false (zero), the program executes each  
command following End. While instructions can be nested.

Repeat  
Repeat repeats a group of commands until condition is  
true (nonzero). It is similar to While, but condition is tested  
when End is encountered; therefore, the group of  
commands is always executed at least once. Repeat  
instructions can be nested.

Comparing Test Results Using Box Plots  
Problem  
An experiment found a significant difference between boys  
and girls pertaining to their ability to identify objects held  
in their left hands, which are controlled by the right side of  
their brains, versus their right hands, which are controlled  
by the left side of their brains. The TI Graphics team  
conducted a similar test for adult men and women.  
The test involved 30 small objects, which participants were  
not allowed to see. First, they held 15 of the objects one by  
one in their left hands and guessed what they were. Then  
they held the other 15 objects one by one in their right hands  
and guessed what they were. Use box plots to compare  
visually the correct-guess data from this table.

either hand. This is not what our box plots show for  
adults. Do you think that this is because adults have  
learned to adapt or because our sample was not large  
enough?

Graphing Piecewise Functions  
Problem  
The fine for speeding on a road with a speed limit of 45  
kilometers per hour (kph) is 50; plus 5 for each kph from  
46 to 55 kph; plus 10 for each kph from 56 to 65 kph; plus  
20 for each kph from 66 kph and above. Graph the  
piecewise function that describes the cost of the ticket.  
The fine (Y) as a function of kilometers per hour (X) is:  
Y = 0  
Y = 50 + 5 (X N 45)  
Y = 50 + 5 10 + 10 (X N 55)  
Y = 50 + 5 10 + 10 10 + 20 (X N 65)

Using Parametric Equations: Ferris Wheel Problem  
Problem  
Using two pairs of parametric equations, determine when  
two objects in motion are closest to each other in the same  
plane.  
A ferris wheel has a diameter (d) of 20 meters and is  
rotating counterclockwise at a rate (s) of one revolution  
every 12 seconds. The parametric equations below  
describe the location of a ferris wheel passenger at time T,  
where a is the angle of rotation, (0,0) is the bottom center  
of the ferris wheel, and (10,10) is the passenger’s location  
at the rightmost point, when T=0.  
X(T) = r cos a  
where a = 2pTs and r = dà2  
Y(T) = r + r sin a  
A person standing on the ground throws a ball to the ferris  
wheel passenger. The thrower’s arm is at the same height as  
the bottom of the ferris wheel, but 25 meters (b) to the right  
of the ferris wheel’s lowest point (25,0). The person throws  
the ball with velocity (v0) of 22 meters per second at an  
angle (q) of 66¡ from the horizontal. The parametric  
equations below describe the location of the ball at time T.  
X(T) = b N Tv0 cosq  
Y(T) = Tv0 sinq N (gà2) T2  
where g =  
9.8 m/sec2  
Procedure

TI-83 LINK  
TI-83 Link  
Capabilities  
The TI-83 has a port to connect and communicate with  
another TI-83, a TI-82, the Calculator-Based Laboratoryé  
(CBL 2é, CBLé) System, the Calculator-Based Rangeré  
(CBRé), or a personal computer. The unit-to-unit link  
cable is included with the TI-83. This chapter describes  
how to communicate with another calculator.  
Linking Two  
TI-83s  
You can transfer all variables and programs to another  
TI-83 or backup the entire memory of a TI-83. The  
software that enables this communication is built into the  
TI-83. To transmit from one TI-83 to another, follow the  
steps on pages 19.6 and 19.7.  
Linking a TI-82  
and a TI-83  
You can transfer from a TI-82 to a TI-83 all variables and  
programs. Also, you can transfer from a TI-83 to a TI-82 lists  
L1 through L6.  
The software that enables this communication is built into the  
TI-83. To transmit data from a TI-82 to a TI-83, follow the  
steps on pages 19.6 and 19.7.  
You cannot perform a memory backup from a TI-82 to a  
TI-83.  
The only data type you can transmit from a TI-83 to a  
TI-82 is list data stored in L1 through L6. Use the LINK  
SEND menu item 5:Lists to TI82 (page 19.8).  
Connecting Two 1. Insert either end of the cable into the port very firmly.

Transmitting from a TI-82 to a TI-83  
Resolved  
Differences  
Generally, you can transmit items to a TI-83 from a TI-82,  
but differences between the two products may affect some  
between the TI-82 transmitted data. This table shows differences for which  
and TI-83  
the software built into the TI-83 automatically adjusts  
when a TI-83 receives TI-82 data.  
TI.82  
TI.83  
nMin  
nStart  
Un  
PlotStart  
nMin  
u
Vn  
v
UnStart  
VnStart  
TblMin  
u(nMin)  
v(nMin)  
TblStart  
For example, if you transmit from a TI-82 to a TI-83 a  
program that contains nStart on a command line and then  
display the program on the receiving TI-83, you will see  
that nMin has automatically replaced nStart on the  
command line.  
Unresolved  
Differences  
The software built into the TI-83 cannot resolve some  
differences between the TI-82 and TI-83, which are  
between the TI-82 described below. You must edit the data on the TI-83 after  
and TI-83  
you transmit to account for these differences, or the TI-83  
will misinterpret the data.  
The TI-83 reinterprets TI-82 prefix functions to include  
open parentheses, which may add extraneous parentheses  
to transmitted expressions.  
For example, if you transmit sin X+5 from a TI-82 to a  
TI.83, the TI-83 reinterprets it as sin(X+5. Without a closing  
parenthesis after X, the TI-83 interprets this as sin(X+5), not  
the sum of 5 and sin(X).  
If a TI-82 instruction that the TI-83 cannot translate is  
transmitted, the ERR:INVALID menu is displayed when the  
TI-83 attempts to execute the instruction. For example, on  
the TI-82, the character group Un-1 is pasted to the cursor  
location when you press y [UnN1]. The TI-83 cannot  
directly translate Un-1 to the TI-83 syntax u(nN1), so the  
ERR:INVALID menu is displayed.  
Note: TI-83 implied multiplication rules differ from those of the TI.82.  
For example, the TI-83 evaluates 1à2X as (1à2)äX, while the TI-82  
evaluates 1à2X as 1à(2äX) (Chapter 2).

Backing Up Memory  
Memory Backup  
To copy the exact contents of memory in the sending TI-83  
to the memory of the receiving TI-83, put the other unit in  
receive mode. Then, on the receiving unit, select C:Back Up  
from the LINK SEND menu.  
Warning: C:Back Up overwrites the memory in the  
receiving unit; all information in the memory of the  
receiving unit is lost.  
Note: If you do not want to do a backup, select 2:Quit to return to  
the LINK SEND menu.  
Select 1:Transmit to begin transmission.  
Receiving Unit  
As a safety check to prevent accidental loss of memory,  
the message WARNING . Backup is displayed when the  
receiving unit receives notice of a backup.  
To continue with the backup process, select 1:Continue.  
The backup transmission begins.  
To prevent the backup, select 2:Quit.  
Note: If a transmission error is returned during a backup, the receiving  
unit is reset.  
Memory Backup  
Complete  
When the backup is complete, both the sending calculator  
and receiving calculator display a confirmation screen.

Variables  
User Variables  
The TI.83 uses the variables listed below in various ways.  
Some variables are restricted to specific data types.  
The variables A through Z and q are defined as real or  
complex numbers. You may store to them. The TI.83 can  
update X, Y, R, q, and T during graphing, so you may want  
to avoid using these variables to store nongraphing data.  
The variables (list names) L1 through L6 are restricted to  
lists; you cannot store another type of data to them.  
The variables (matrix names) [A] through [J] are restricted  
to matrices; you cannot store another type of data to them.  
The variables Pic1 through Pic9 and Pic0 are restricted to  
pictures; you cannot store another type of data to them.  
The variables GDB1 through GDB9 and GDB0 are restricted  
to graph databases; you cannot store another type of data  
to them.  
The variables Str1 through Str9 and Str0 are restricted to  
strings; you cannot store another type of data to them.  
You can store any string of characters, functions,  
instructions, or variables to the functions Yn, (1 through 9,  
and 0), XnT/YnT (1 through 6), rn (1 through 6), u(n), v(n),  
and w(n) directly or through the Y= editor. The validity of the  
string is determined when the function is evaluated.  
System Variables The variables below must be real numbers. You may store  
to them. Since the TI.83 can update some of them, as the  
result of a ZOOM, for example, you may want to avoid  
using these variables to store nongraphing data.  
Xmin, Xmax, Xscl, @X, XFact, Tstep, PlotStart, nMin, and  
other window variables.  
ZXmin, ZXmax, ZXscl, ZTstep, ZPlotStart, Zu(nMin), and  
other ZOOM variables.  
The variables below are reserved for use by the TI.83. You  
cannot store to them.

Battery Information  
When to Replace The TI.83 uses five batteries: four AAA alkaline batteries  
the Batteries  
and one lithium battery. The lithium battery provides  
auxiliary power to retain memory while you replace the  
AAA batteries.  
When the battery voltage level drops below a usable level,  
the TI.83 displays this message when you turn on the unit.  
After this message is first displayed, you can expect the  
batteries to function for about one or two weeks,  
depending on usage. (This one-week to two-week period is  
based on tests with alkaline batteries; the performance of  
other kinds of batteries may vary.)  
The low-battery message continues to be displayed each  
time you turn on the unit until you replace the batteries. If  
you do not replace the batteries within about two weeks,  
the calculator may turn off by itself or fail to turn on until  
you install new batteries.  
Replace the lithium battery every three or four years.  
Effects of  
Replacing the  
Batteries  
Do not remove both types of batteries (AAA and lithium  
auxiliary) at the same time. Do not allow the batteries to  
lose power completely. If you follow these guidelines and  
the steps for replacing batteries on page B.3, you can  
replace either type of battery without losing any  
information in memory.  
Battery  
Precautions  
Take these precautions when replacing batteries.  
Do not mix new and used batteries. Do not mix brands  
(or types within brands) of batteries.  
Do not mix rechargeable and nonrechargeable  
batteries.  
Install batteries according to polarity (+ and N)  
diagrams.  
Do not place nonrechargeable batteries in a battery  
recharger.  
Properly dispose of used batteries immediately. Do not  
leave them within the reach of children.  
Do not incinerate batteries.

Replacing the  
Batteries  
To replace the batteries, follow these steps.  
1. Turn off the calculator. Replace the slide cover over the  
keyboard to avoid inadvertently turning on the  
calculator. Turn the back of the calculator toward you.  
2. Hold the calculator upright. Place your thumb on the  
oval indentation on the battery cover. Push down and  
toward you to slide the cover about ¼ inch (6 mm). Lift  
off the cover to expose the battery compartment.  
Note: To avoid loss of information stored in  
memory, you must turn off the calculator. Do not  
remove the AAA batteries and the lithium battery  
simultaneously.  
3. Replace all four AAA alkaline batteries at the same  
time. Or, replace the lithium battery.  
To replace the AAA alkaline batteries, remove all  
four discharged AAA batteries and install new ones  
according to the polarity (+ and N) diagrams in the  
battery compartment.  
To remove the lithium battery, place your index  
finger on the battery. Insert the tip of a ball-point pen  
(or similar instrument) under the battery at the small  
opening provided in the battery compartment.  
Carefully pry the battery upward, holding it with  
your thumb and finger. (There is a spring that pushes  
against the underside of the battery.)  
Install the new battery, + side up, by inserting the  
battery and gently snapping it in with your finger.  
Use a CR1616 or CR1620 (or equivalent) lithium  
battery.  
4. Replace the battery compartment cover. Turn the  
calculator on and adjust the display contrast, if  
necessary (step 1; page B.4).

1. If you cannot see anything on the screen, the contrast  
may need to be adjusted.  
To darken the screen, press and release y, and then  
press and hold } until the display is sufficiently dark.  
To lighten the screen, press and release y, and then  
press and hold until the display is sufficiently light.  
2. If an error menu is displayed, follow the steps in  
Chapter 1. Refer to pages B.5 through B.9 for details  
about specific errors, if necessary.  
3. If a checkerboard cursor ( # ) is displayed, then either  
you have entered the maximum number of characters in  
a prompt, or memory is full. If memory is full, press y  
[MEM] 2 to select 2:Delete, and then delete some items  
from memory (Chapter 18).  
4. If the busy indicator (dotted line) is displayed, a graph  
or program has been paused; the TI.83 is waiting for  
input. Press Í to continue or press É to break.  
5. If the calculator does not seem to work at all, be sure  
the batteries are fresh and that they are installed  
properly. Refer to battery information on pages B.2 and

Error Conditions  
When the TI.83 detects an error, it displays ERR:message and an error menu.  
Chapter 1 describes the general steps for correcting errors. This table contains  
each error type, possible causes, and suggestions for correction.  
Error Type  
Possible Causes and Suggested Remedies  
ARCHIVED VAR  
A function or instruction is archived and therefore cannot  
be executed or edited. Use the unarchive command to  
unarchive the variable before using it.  
ARGUMENT  
BAD GUESS  
A function or instruction does not have the correct number  
of arguments. See Appendix A and the appropriate chapter.  
¦
¦
¦
In a CALC operation, you specified a Guess that is not  
between Left Bound and Right Bound.  
For the solve( function or the equation solver, you  
specified a guess that is not between lower and upper.  
Your guess and several points around it are undefined.  
Examine a graph of the function. If the equation has a  
solution, change the bounds and/or the initial guess.  
BOUND  
¦
In a CALC operation or with Select(, you defined  
Left Bound > Right Bound.  
¦
In fMin(, fMax(, solve(, or the equation solver, you  
entered lower upper.  
BREAK  
You pressed the É key to break execution of a program,  
to halt a DRAW instruction, or to stop evaluation of an  
expression.  
DATA TYPE  
You entered a value or variable that is the wrong data type.  
¦
For a function (including implied multiplication) or an  
instruction, you entered an argument that is an invalid  
data type, such as a complex number where a real  
number is required. See Appendix A and the appropriate  
chapter.  
¦
¦
In an editor, you entered a type that is not allowed, such  
as a matrix entered as an element in the stat list editor.  
See the appropriate chapter.  
You attempted to store to an incorrect data type, such as  
a matrix, to a list.  
DIM MISMATCH  
DIVIDE BY 0  
You attempted to perform an operation that references  
more than one list or matrix, but the dimensions do not  
match.  
¦
You attempted to divide by zero. This error is not  
returned during graphing. The TI.83 allows for  
undefined values on a graph.  
¦
You attempted a linear regression with a vertical line.

Error Type  
Possible Causes and Suggested Remedies  
DOMAIN  
¦
You specified an argument to a function or instruction  
outside the valid range. This error is not returned during  
graphing. The TI.83 allows for undefined values on a  
graph. See Appendix A and the appropriate chapter.  
¦
¦
You attempted a logarithmic or power regression with a  
LX or an exponential or power regression with a LY.  
You attempted to compute GPrn( or GInt( with  
pmt2 < pmt1.  
Duplicate Name  
Error in Xmit  
A variable you attempted to transmit cannot be transmitted  
because a variable with that name already exists in the  
receiving unit.  
¦
The TI.83 was unable to transmit an item. Check to see  
that the cable is firmly connected to both units and that  
the receiving unit is in receive mode.  
¦
¦
You pressed É to break during transmission.  
You attempted to perform a backup from a TI.82 to a  
TI.83.  
¦
¦
You attempted to transfer data (other than L1 through  
L6) from a TI.83 to a TI.82.  
You attempted to transfer L1 through L6 from a TI.83 to  
a TI.82 without using 5:Lists to TI82 on the LINK SEND  
menu.  
ILLEGAL NEST  
INCREMENT  
You attempted to use an invalid function in an argument to  
a function, such as seq( within expression for seq(.  
¦
The increment in seq( is 0 or has the wrong sign. This  
error is not returned during graphing. The TI.83 allows  
for undefined values on a graph.  
¦
¦
The increment in a For( loop is 0.  
INVALID  
You attempted to reference a variable or use a function  
where it is not valid. For example, Yn cannot reference  
Y, Xmin, @X, or TblStart.  
¦
¦
You attempted to reference a variable or function that  
was transferred from the TI.82 and is not valid for the  
TI.83. For example, you may have transferred UnN1 to  
the TI.83 from the TI.82 and then tried to reference it.  
In Seq mode, you attempted to graph a phase plot  
without defining both equations of the phase plot.  
B-6 General Information

Error Type  
Possible Causes and Suggested Remedies  
INVALID (cont.)  
¦
In Seq mode, you attempted to graph a recursive  
sequence without having input the correct number of  
initial conditions.  
¦
¦
¦
¦
¦
¦
In Seq mode, you attempted to reference terms other  
than (nN1) or (nN2).  
You attempted to designate a graph style that is invalid  
within the current graph mode.  
You attempted to use Select( without having selected  
(turned on) at least one xyLine or scatter plot.  
INVALID DIM  
You specified dimensions for an argument that are not  
appropriate for the operation.  
You specified a list dimension as something other than  
an integer between 1 and 999.  
You specified a matrix dimension as something other  
than an integer between 1 and 99.  
¦
¦
You attempted to invert a matrix that is not square.  
ITERATIONS  
The solve( function or the equation solver has exceeded  
the maximum number of permitted iterations. Examine  
a graph of the function. If the equation has a solution,  
change the bounds, or the initial guess, or both.  
¦
¦
irr( has exceeded the maximum number of permitted  
iterations.  
When computing æ, the maximum number of iterations  
was exceeded.  
LABEL  
The label in the Goto instruction is not defined with a Lbl  
instruction in the program.  
MEMORY  
Memory is insufficient to perform the instruction or  
function. You must delete items from memory (Chapter 18)  
before executing the instruction or function.  
Recursive problems return this error; for example,  
graphing the equation Y1=Y1.  
Branching out of an If/Then, For(, While, or Repeat loop with  
a Goto also can return this error because the End statement  
that terminates the loop is never reached.  
General Information B-7  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Error Type  
Possible Causes and Suggested Remedies  
MemoryFull  
¦
You are unable to transmit an item because the receiving  
unit’s available memory is insufficient. You may skip the  
item or exit receive mode.  
¦
During a memory backup, the receiving unit’s available  
memory is insufficient to receive all items in the sending  
unit’s memory. A message indicates the number of bytes  
the sending unit must delete to do the memory backup.  
Delete items and try again.  
MODE  
You attempted to store to a window variable in another  
graphing mode or to perform an instruction while in the  
wrong mode; for example, DrawInv in a graphing mode  
other than Func.  
NO SIGN CHNG  
¦
¦
¦
The solve( function or the equation solver did not detect  
a sign change.  
You attempted to compute æ when FV, (ÚäPMT), and PV  
are all 0, or when FV, (ÚäPMT), and PV are all  0.  
You attempted to compute irr( when neither CFList nor  
CFO is > 0, or when neither CFList nor CFO is < 0.  
NONREAL ANS  
OVERFLOW  
In Real mode, the result of a calculation yielded a complex  
result. This error is not returned during graphing. The TI.83  
allows for undefined values on a graph.  
You attempted to enter, or you have calculated, a number  
that is beyond the range of the calculator. This error is not  
returned during graphing. The TI.83 allows for undefined  
values on a graph.  
RESERVED  
You attempted to use a system variable inappropriately.  
See Appendix A.  
SINGULAR MAT  
¦
A singular matrix (determinant = 0) is not valid as the  
L1  
argument for  
.
¦
The SinReg instruction or a polynomial regression  
generated a singular matrix (determinant = 0) because it  
could not find a solution, or a solution does not exist.  
This error is not returned during graphing. The TI.83  
allows for undefined values on a graph.  
B-8 General Information  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Error Type  
Possible Causes and Suggested Remedies  
SINGULARITY  
expression in the solve( function or the equation solver  
contains a singularity (a point at which the function is not  
defined). Examine a graph of the function. If the equation  
has a solution, change the bounds or the initial guess or  
both.  
STAT  
You attempted a stat calculation with lists that are not  
appropriate.  
¦
¦
Statistical analyses must have at least two data points.  
Med.Med must have at least three points in each  
partition.  
¦
¦
When you use a frequency list, its elements must be 0.  
(Xmax N Xmin) à Xscl must be  47 for a histogram.  
STAT PLOT  
SYNTAX  
You attempted to display a graph when a stat plot that uses  
an undefined list is turned on.  
The command contains a syntax error. Look for misplaced  
functions, arguments, parentheses, or commas. See  
Appendix A and the appropriate chapter.  
TOL NOT MET  
UNDEFINED  
You requested a tolerance to which the algorithm cannot  
return an accurate result.  
You referenced a variable that is not currently defined. For  
example, you referenced a stat variable when there is no  
current calculation because a list has been edited, or you  
referenced a variable when the variable is not valid for the  
current calculation, such as a after Med.Med.  
WINDOW RANGE  
A problem exists with the window variables.  
¦
¦
¦
¦
¦
You defined Xmax  Xmin or Ymax  Ymin.  
You defined qmax  qmin and qstep > 0 (or vice versa).  
You attempted to define Tstep=0.  
You defined Tmax  Tmin and Tstep > 0 (or vice versa).  
Window variables are too small or too large to graph  
correctly. You may have attempted to zoom in or zoom  
out to a point that exceeds the TI.83’s numerical range.  
ZOOM  
¦
¦
A point or a line, instead of a box, is defined in ZBox.  
A ZOOM operation returned a math error.

Accuracy Information  
Computational  
Accuracy  
To maximize accuracy, the TI.83 carries more digits  
internally than it displays. Values are stored in memory  
using up to 14 digits with a two-digit exponent.  
You can store a value in the window variables using up  
to 10 digits (12 for Xscl, Yscl, Tstep, and qstep).  
Displayed values are rounded as specified by the mode  
setting with a maximum of 10 digits and a two-digit  
exponent.  
RegEQ displays up to 14 digits in Float mode. Using a  
fixed-decimal setting other than Float causes RegEQ  
results to be rounded and stored with the specified  
number of decimal places.  
Graphing  
Accuracy  
Xmin is the center of the leftmost pixel, Xmax is the center  
of the next-to-the-rightmost pixel. (The rightmost pixel is  
reserved for the busy indicator.) @X is the distance  
between the centers of two adjacent pixels.  
In Full screen mode, @X is calculated as  
(Xmax N Xmin) à 94. In G.T split-screen mode, @X is  
calculated as (Xmax N Xmin) à 46.  
If you enter a value for @X from the home screen or a  
program in Full screen mode, Xmax is calculated as  
Xmin + @X 94. In G.T split-screen mode, Xmax is  
calculated as Xmin + @X 46.  
Ymin is the center of the next-to-the-bottom pixel; Ymax is  
the center of the top pixel. @Y is the distance between the  
centers of two adjacent pixels.  
In Full screen mode, @Y is calculated as  
(Ymax N Ymin) à 62. In Horiz split-screen mode, @Y is  
calculated as (Ymax N Ymin) à 30. In G.T split-screen  
mode, @Y is calculated as (Ymax N Ymin) à 50.  
If you enter a value for @Y from the home screen or a  
program in Full screen mode, Ymax is calculated as  
Ymin + @Y 62. In Horiz split-screen mode, Ymax is  
calculated as Ymin + @Y 30. In G.T split-screen mode,  
Ymax is calculated as Ymin + @Y 50.

Cursor coordinates are displayed as eight-character  
numbers (which may include a negative sign, decimal  
point, and exponent) when Float mode is selected. X and Y  
are updated with a maximum accuracy of eight digits.  
minimum and maximum on the CALCULATE menu are  
calculated with a tolerance of 1EL5; f(x)dx is calculated at  
1EL3. Therefore, the result displayed may not be accurate to  
all eight displayed digits. For most functions, at least five  
accurate digits exist. For fMin(, fMax(, and fnInt( on the  
MATH menu and solve( in the CATALOG, the tolerance can  
be specified.
