How to Program Equation Solvers on All Ti Graphing Calculators

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Turn on the calculator.

   Press Enter., Press the right arrow once and under option #3, there will be "Disp".
   
   This stands for Display.
   
   It should go back to the main programming menu., Afterwards, type "Volume" by pressing "2ND" and then "ALPHA" to lock typing mode.
   
   Then put another quotation mark after that.
   
   Hit Enter.
   
   The screen should look like this:
   PROGRAM:
   EXAMPLE  :
   Disp "Volume"
   
   Put another quotation mark and then type "1 CYLINDER".
   
   It should be the same as the example above, only with ":
   Disp "1 CYLINDER"" below that., If more formulas are needed, follow the same steps just put the objects name instead of cylinder and put the numbers in order.
   
   Press Enter.
   
   Push the "PRGM" key at the menu to bring up another menu.
   
   Scroll down to #9 and select it. #9 should be Lbl.
   
   After that is done, type in K so that line should look like this: ":
   Lbl K".
   
   Press Enter., Scroll down and select #1 which should be "Input".
   
   Then put "W" after the space in between "Input" and "W".
   
   Press Enter.,), and then hit enter, which will select "If".
   
   Type "W=1" after "If" to get "If W=1".
   
   Press Enter and find "Then" in the CTL menu section of the "PRGM" key.
   
   Yet again, press Enter., Press Enter.
   
   Put in "Disp "Radius"".
   
   Press Enter.
   
   Then select "Input" and type "R" after it to look like "Input R".
   
   Press Enter.
   
   Select "Disp" and type in "Height".
   
   Press Enter.
   
   Find "Input" again, and type "H" so it will look like this: "Input H".
   
   Press Enter yet again.,, In this last line, find "End" in the "PRGM" button menu and it is #7 in the first section which is "CTL".
   
   Then press "2ND" and then "MODE" right next to it to exit., On there should be the name of the program that was just created.
   
   Highlight it and press enter.
   
   You should go back to the very first calculator screen and it should say "prgmEXAMPLE(obviously the name of the program, not Example)".
   
   Press enter again and watch the program unfold!, at the bottom of the screen, and it will show a menu that asks for the radius, put it in, then it will ask for the height, put it in, and it will give the answer.
   
   Congratulations, the program is now finished!

   Step 2: Press the "PRGM" button.

3. 3

   Step 3: Press the right arrow twice and select the "Create New" option.

4. 4

   Step 4: Create a name for the program "Volume" For the entire example

5. 5

   Step 5: some geometric volume formulas will be used as examples.

6. 6

   Step 6: Press "PRGM" again

7. 7

   Step 7: and a menu should come up.

8. 8

   Step 8: Press "ALPHA" and then "+" to get a quotation mark.

9. 9

   Step 9: Put another "Disp" by following the directions that are two steps above this current step.

10. 10

    Step 10: Let's move on to the equation.

11. 11

    Step 11: Press the "PRGM" key again and press right once to get to the I/O menu.

12. 12

    Step 12: Hit "PRGM" (just push this key until told otherwise

13. 13

    Step 13: but afterwards

14. 14

    Step 14: go back to using the "PRGM" key to get your items needed.

15. 15

    Step 15: Find the "I/0" section and select "ClrHome".

16. 16

    Step 16: Put in the formula "Pi symbol*R"squared"*H store to A"

17. 17

    Step 17: Finally

18. 18

    Step 18: type in "Disp A" and press enter.
