Introduction: Quadratic Formula on TI-83
Step 1: Stuff You May Need
1. A graphing calculator capable of programming (TI83, TI84, etc)
Step 2: Getting Started
First off we need to create a new program.
Turn on the calculator and press PGRM
Go to the NEW Menu
Select Create New.
Step 3: Cover Screen
This part of the Program is the cover screen of the program.
::ClrHome
:Disp "Quad Program
:Disp "
:Disp "
:Disp "Press enter to
:Disp "continue.
:Pause
:ClrHome may be accessed in Pgrm -> I/O -> 8
:Disp may be accessed in Pgrm -> I/O -> 3
:Pause may be accessed in Pgrm -> CTL -> 8
Step 4: Main Menu
This portion is the Main Menu part of the program. Used to select Types of numbers.
:Menu("Number Types?","Real",A,"Imaginary",B
:Lbl A
:Real
:Lbl B
:a+bi
:Menu( can be accessed in Pgrm -> CTL -> C
:Lbl can be accessedin Pgrm -> CTL -> 9
:Goto can be accessed in Pgrm -> CTL -> 0
:Real can be accessed via Catalog
:a+bi can be accessed via Catalog
Step 5: The Core
This is the Core of the program.
:Lbl X
:ClrHome
:Disp "AX²+BX+C
:Pause
Prompt A,B,C
:Disp "(-B+√B²-4ac))/(2a)
:Disp "(-B-√B²-4ac))/(2a)
:Pause
:Delvar A
:Delvar B
:Delvar C
:Prompt can be accessed in Pgrm -> I/O -> 2
:DelVar can be accessed in Pgrm -> CTL -> G
Step 6: Done
You're done! Just run it and you're good to go.
Last thing I forgot to mention. This program is MirageOS compatible due to the extra Colon at beginning. Your could run the program while its archived then.
