    This document provides instructions for using slope functions on a TI-83 calculator to find the derivative of f(x)=x^2 and plot the results. The steps are: 1) Define f(x)=x^2 in the Y= editor. 2) Enter numbers 1 to 6 in list 1 and calculate the slope function at each point, storing results in list 2. 3) Create a scatter plot using list 1 for x-values and list 2 for y-values.

    SLOPE FUNCTIONS TI-83 INSTRUCTIONS

    To find f '( x) for f ( x) = x 2 using slope functions and modelling techniques: Step 1: Press and to display the Y= editor.

    This is where you define functions for tables and graphing. The key can be used to clear any functions.

    Step 2:

    Enter the slope function of y = x 2 by pressing for 8:nDeriv(

    , then 8

    . Move the cursor over the = sign and press to stop Y1 from graphing. Press when you are done. Step 3: Enter the numbers 1 to 6 into List 1 using the seq( command by pressing 5 0 6 1 .

    Step 4:

    Calculate the slope function at each point in List 1 and store the result in List 2 by pressing .

    To obtain a scatterplot: Step 1: Press and press 1 to select 1:Plot 1

    Step 2:

    Set Plot 1 to ON Select a scatterplot Specify Xlist: L1 (press Specify Ylist: L2 (press in the screen dump at right.

    ) ) as shown

    Step 3:

    Press and press 9 to select 9:ZoomStat to automatically scale the axes and plot the scatterplot.

    Step 4:

    Examine the scatterplot. Which of the possible models can be eliminated?

    To fit possible models: Step 1: Press DiagnosticOn. and use to select

    This will allow you to view the correlation coefficient.

    Step 2:

    Press

    Step 3:

    and use Press to select CALC. Press 4 to select 4:LinReg (ax+b) if you want to fit a linear model.

    Step 4:

    Press 2. This will store the regression equation in Y2.

    Step 5:

    Press

    to view the equation of the linear model.

    Step 6:

    Press scatterplot.

    to plot the regression equation over the

    Repeat Steps 3 to 6 above to fit other possible models, but choose QuadReg, ExpReg, PwrReg etc.
