Re: TI92Plus questions

Brian,
    I don't have a TI-92 Plus, but I think I can answer some of your
questions:

 I'm not too sure about this question, because I don't really understand
what you're asking.  Do you mean the window setup, or just the function?
I'd like to use a lifeline, Regis... Ask Brian

This can be very frustrating at times, but there are ways to change such a
complicated equation into a normal "Y=".  If you remember how to simplify
equations algebraically, you can get rid of everything but one Y on one side
of the equal sign. For example, with the equation you made up, you must
subtract three from both sides of the equation and then divide 7y by 7 to
get y by itself.  From there you can figure out how to input that into your
calculator.  I hope that in future TI models, you will be able to type in
equations without first simplifying them.

I'm not sure about the TI-92+, but on the TI-83+, there is a program-like
feature under the Math menu.  There is something called "Solver..." at the
bottom of the list that enables you to work with trig equations, but it's
kind of hard to understand.  This feature is probably also on the 92+.

Well, there's www.ticalc.org, but I don't know if they post engineering
programs there, just thousands of other programs and apps.  They are under
the File Archive at ticalc.org.  Otherwise, I'm not too sure of any sites
that specify in engineering programs (in fact, I don't really even know what
they are in the first place... are they the same idea as ASM on the 83 and
83+?).

If there is a "Memory" or "Mem" button on the 92+, you can go there and
select "Manage/Delete..." from the menu, and there should be a list of all
your programs, apps, variables, etc.  At least, this is how you do it on
TI-83+.
