Entering Expressions and Instructions
What is an Expression?
An expression is a group of num ers, varia les, or functions and
their arguments, or a com ination of these elements. An expression
evaluates to a single answer. For example, ()
2is an expression. On the
TI-84 Plus Silver Edition, you enter an expression in the same order as
you would write it on paper. You can enter an
expression on the home screen to calculate
an answer.
Entering an Expression
To create an expression, you enter num ers, varia les, and functions
from the key oard and menus on your TI-84 Plus Silver Edition. An
expression is completed when you press Õ, regardless of the
cursor location. The entire expression is evaluated according to
Equation Operating System (EOS™) rules (see General Math page),
and the answer is displayed. When an entry is
executed on the home screen, the answer is
displayed on the right side of the next line.
The mode settings control the way the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition interprets
expressions and displays answers. If an answer, such as a list or matrix,
is too long to display entirely on one line, an
ellipsis (...) is displayed to the right or left.
Press ~or |to display the rest of the answer.

y = mx + b Slope-intercept form — graph using mand (0,b)
y – y1= m(x – x1)Point-slope form — graph using mand (x1, y1)
Standard form example
Given 3x + 2y = 6, find intercepts:
3(0) + 2y = 6 3x + 2(0) = 6 xy
2y = 6 3x = 6 03
y = 3 x = 2 20
Point-slope form example
Given m=3 and (2,-3)
Equation y – (-3) = 3(x-2)
y + 3 = 3x – 6
y = 3x – 9

Definition of Slope
This section uses the Topics in Algebra 1 App for the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition
to help define slope.
m = vertical change = rise =y2– y1
horizontal change run x2– x1
Quadratic Functions
This section features the Conic Graphing App for the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition.
Equation of a circle: (x – H)2+ (y – k)2= R2
Values are entered for the center and the radius. The Conic Graphing App
produces a circle you can now trace.
Equation of a para ola: (x – H)2= P(y – k)
Values are entered for the vertex (H, K) and the distance (P) etween
the directrix and the vertex. The Conic Graphing App produces a
para ola you can now trace.
The Transformation Graphing App allows you to see what happens to a
graph as you change its coefficient(s).
The Distance Formula
The Distance Formula is used to calculate the distance etween two points.
d(P1, P2) = √ (x2– x1)2+ (y2– y1)2
Example: Find the distances etween the points P1(2, 5) and P2(-3, 1).
d(P1, P2) = √ (-3 – 2)2+ (1 – 5)2= √ (-5)2+ (- )2
= √ 25 + 16 = √ 1 ≈6. 03
