My calculator only graphs one of my functions at a time and I need it to do all of them at once so I can calculate intersections and such. I have the TI-84 Plus. Thanks!

The following should help draw several graphs.
When you enter a function you should press [ENTER] to validate. At the same time, the cursor moves to the next line. Verify that the = sign on the equation already entered is still highlighted.
If for some reason the = sign of an equation is no longer highlighted, use arrow keys to move cursor on the = sign and press [ENTER].

If only one = sign remains highlighted and all others are not, then in all probability the application Transfrm has been executed before and is still lingering in RAM. When in RAM, it takes over the graphing capabilities of the native OS. This prevents you from drawing more than one graph.You must unload it from memory.

  1. Press the [APPS] key.
  2. Scroll down to the line that shows Transfrm.
  3. Highlight it and press [ENTER].
  4. In following screen you are invited to Uninstall or continue.
  5. Press the number to the left of Uninstall. Validate if need be.
  6. Return to the Y= editor to type in functions to graph.

Solve equations

To have any meaning, the x variable must be in radians.
To find the solutions of this equation you can graph the functions
y_1=x*sin(x)
y_2=0.1
Graph the two functions and find the intersection points of the two.
Because the two functions are even F(-x)=F(x), it suffices to consider their intersections on the interval [0, + infinity[
There are many solutions (an infinite number of them)
See some screen captures below.
After the graphs are drawn, use the G-Solve feature to find the intersections.

Is it possible to find the intersection of two graphs on a casio fx-500ES ?

In theory yes. If you have a function y=f(x) and another y=g(x), an intersection point of the graphs of the two functions, if it exists, is a point (x_i,y_i) such that f(x_i)=g(x_i).
Graphically this means that (x_i, f(x_i))=(x_i, g(x_i)): The two curves pass through the same point in the Cartesian plane.
Now consider f(x_i)=g(x_i). That is an equation in x_i, or lest us just drop the _i to shorten and write f(x)=g(x), or f(x)-g(x)=0.
If you can feed it to the SOLVER in EQN, the equation mode, and the calculator gives you the roots of the equation, then for each root x_i found you have an intersection point (x_i, f(x_i)), or (x_i, g(x_i)). You can use either function to calculate the y-value since the two functions are supposed to be equal at the root x_i.
However it is much simpler to do with a graphing calculator.

Help with Ti Inspire Cx calculator. It rounds up the coordinates when graphing

Draw the graphs of the functions you are interested in. While the graphs are displayed Press the Menu key. In the drop down window locate the sub menu Settings (number 8 or 9) depending on your calculator
The following screen is displayed with at the top the setting Float.

How do I graph y = 5(x-10) and y = 3x on the same graph where x min = 0

Just open the Y= editor, and type in the two functions, one on each line. Make sure that the = signs remain highlighted when you move cursor on some other lines (Y3, or Y4).
Then open the Window utility and set Xmin=0
After graphs are drawn you can use the CALC utility to find the Intersection of the two lines.

When I graph system of linear equations and try to find an intersection point it says no sign change why?

The solve( function was not able to find the intersection point because it lies outside the graph range. The window dimensions are too narrow to contain that point. I suggest you restrict the graph to the quadrant where you suspect the solution to be (example first quadrant if appropriate) : take Xmin=0, Ymin =0 and choose Xmax and Ymax large enough to enclose the intersection point.

How do you find the point intersection of ln x=-7x

Graph both lnx and -7x and then go to the graph. Once there, press 2nd then calc and scroll down to where it says "Intersect", select that, select a point on each line, and press enter and it should give you the intersection point.

I have a TI-Nspire Graphic Calculator (Not the CAS.) I had a couple of questions about the calculator. First off, how do I limit the domain on a function that I am graphing. For example, I am graphing y=x...

simply divide the function by the domain you wish.

In your example, you wanted to graph y=x for x>=0.
You should graph the function f1=(x)/(x>0)

To find out when y=900, graph the function in f1, and then graph the equation y=900 (which will be a horizontal line) and use the intersect function to find where they cross. The x-coordinate of the intersection is the solution you are seeking.

Please help plotting graphs on TI-83 plus

I believe I already showed you with a profusion of details how to graph functions on the calculator. It would very kind of you to refer to the post that answered your question, so as not to make us answer it all over again. Much appreciated.

Read the following to use the intersection function.
  1. You draw two or more graphs.
  2. After the graphs are displayed, press [2nd][TRACE] to access the (CALC)ulate menu.
  3. Select [5:Interesct]
  4. You will be prompted for a first curve: the equation of the curve will be displayed at the top left corner of the screen. If it is one the intersecting curves, press [ENTER]
  5. You will be prompted for the second curve. (You can move from one curve to another by pressing the UpArrow or DownArrow).
  6. After two curves are selected, you will be prompted for a guess for the X-value of an intersection point: you can use the keypad to enter a guess or use the left or right arrow to move the cursor towards a point of your choosing (if there are more than one point).
  7. After a short while the calculator gives you a solution.
  8. If it fails, you must make a better guess.

Here are some screen captures
