Graphing trig functions

Is it somehow preventing you from graphing, or are you simply not getting the graph you expect?

Most likely you have the angular mode set wrong. You probably want it set to radians. Press MODE, move to the third line, highlight RADIAN, press ENTER, then 2ND [QUIT].

If it's not the angular mode, please reply to this post and give an example or two.

See if your setting are on degree or radian settings.

1. To graph a function, Press [Y=] to enter the function editor.
2. Type in a legitimate function.
3. Press ENTER to validate the function.
4. Press the GRAPH key to draw the graph.
5. Play with the window dimensions or use the ZOOM feature
to see more of the graph (or less).

Try your settings by drawing the function y= x
If you have problem with Invalid Dimension or other errors, turn the
Statistical Plots OFF.
To do so, press [SHIFT] [Y=] to open the Stat Plots.
Type in the number to the left of the Option PlotsOff. Then press ENTER.

You're probably trying to graph a function that does not involve stat plot features. You can correct this by turning off the stat plot features. Press "2ND" "STAT PLOT" and then select 4:PlotsOff.

Press MODE and change "Connected" to "Dot".

Alternatively, you can change the style for individual graphs. In the Y= screen, move to the line then press left-arrow to move past the = sign, then press ENTER repeatedly to cycle through the different graph styles.

In order to select additional graphs, the Transformation Graphing Application will need to be uninstalled from the TI-83 Plus Family and TI-84 Plus Family.

Are you in degrees instead of radians? I get two small bars at either end of the screen when in degrees and a more readable graph when in radians.

Press the 2nd button, then the plus button, the 7, then 1, then 2. This will reset your calculator.
