Short manual for the ti 84 plus silver
TI-84 Plus refers to the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition. The full name TI-84 Plus Silver Edition is used to distinguish it from the TI-84 Plus.
All the instructions also work for the TI-84 Plus. All the
functions of the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition and the TI-84 Plus are the same. The two
graphing calculators differ only in available RAM memory, interchangeable faceplates, and Flash application ROM memory.
Batteries
The TI-84 Plus uses five batteries: four AAA alkaline batteries and one SR44SW or 303 silver oxide backup battery. The silver oxide battery provides auxiliary power to retain memory while you replace the AAA batteries. To replace batteries without losing any information stored in memory, follow the steps in Appendix C.
Graphing
You can store, graph, and analyze up to 10 functions, up to six parametric functions, up to six polar functions, and up to three sequences. You can use DRAW instructions to annotate graphs. The graphing chapters appear in this order: Function, Parametric, Polar, Sequence, and DRAW.
Tables
You can create function evaluation tables to analyze many functions simultaneously.
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.
Inferential Statistics You can perform 16 hypothesis tests and confidence intervals and 15 distribution functions. You can display hypothesis test results graphically or numerically.

calculator.
CATALOG
The CATALOG is a convenient, alphabetical list of all functions and instructions on the TI-84 Plus. You can paste any function or instruction from the CATALOG to the current cursor location.
Programming
You can enter and store programs that include extensive control and input/output
instructions.
Archiving
Archiving allows you to store data, programs, or other variables to user data archive
where they cannot be edited or deleted inadvertently. Archiving also allows you to free up RAM for variables that may require additional memory.
Archived variables are indicated by asterisks (ä) to the
left of the variable names.
Error Conditions
When the TI-84 Plus detects an error, it returns an error message as a menu title, such
as ERR:SYNTAX or ERR:DOMAIN. This table contains each error type, possible causes,
and suggestions for correction. The error types listed in this table are each preceded by
BAD ADDRESS You have attempted to send or receive an application
and an error (e.g. electrical interference) has occurred
in the transmission.
DIVIDE BY 0 • You attempted to divide by zero. This error is not
returned during graphing. The TI-84 Plus allows for
undefined values on a graph.
• You attempted a linear regression with a vertical line.
DUPLICATE You attempted to create a duplicate group name.
Duplicate Name A variable you attempted to transmit cannot be
transmitted because a variable with that name already
exists in the receiving unit.
ID NOT FOUND This error occurs when the SendID command is
executed but the proper graphing calculator ID cannot
be found.
ILLEGAL NEST • You attempted to use an invalid function in an
argument to a function, such as seq( within expression
for seq(.
