TI86 Programming...
I purchased a cable to link my calculator to my PC. I have also been
writing small programs to help me with my physics class. So far they have
been pretty successful. I have never programmed anything besides my VCR,
so this is an accomplishment so far. My questions are:
1. I have created screens that describe formulas, but I seem to be limited
to the seven lines. I also seem to be limited to a certain width. Is
there any way to pan around after I call a screen up?
2. I have used the solver feature in the calculator and like how an
equation can be entered and then solve for a variable without manipulating
the equation. I have entered equations in my programs and have the program
prompt for input. But they only solve for what the equation specifically
asks for. Is there a way to program an equation and have it solve for a
variable that is not entered? Pythagorean's theorem would be a good
example. Using the solver without being in a program would look like:
Pyth=C=sqrt((A^2)+(B^2)). When RCL is used from the SOLVER to recall Pyth,
the SOLVER prompts for C;A;B. You can leave one value out and use SOLVE,
the program will fill in the rest and establish a range. How can I do that
in a program?
Any and all help would be appreciated.
Thank you
