One of the many secret weapons of calculator masters is now available for you to use!

You have two options here: You can either download a pre-written program to send to your calculator, or you can write the program directly on your calculator. Both will result in the same final result, it is up to you which you would like to use.

Option One: Download the Program and Send to your Calculator

Alright, let’s get started! Here is what you need:

  • A TI-84 Plus CE or TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition Calculator
  • Calculator charging cable
  • TI Connect CE Installed (Download Here)
  • Quadratic Formula Program (Download Here)

Grab your calculator charging cable, plug your calculator into your computer, and open TI Connect CE. Make sure your calculator is turned on!

Click on the “Calculator Explorer” tab on the sidebar.

You should now see a list of all the files on your calculator. Time to add another one!

Simply drag the Quadratic Formula Program you downloaded above into the list, and click the “SEND” button.

Option Two: Program it Manually on YourCalculator

Behold, the source code! If you are looking at this and have no idea how to put it on your calculator, here is a good video to help you out:https://youtu.be/z1jqegsr7dM.

Using the Program

Starting from your calculator home screen, press the [PRGM] button. Select the Quadratic Formula Program from the list, and press the [ENTER] button to run it.

The program will prompt you to enter the coefficients a, b, and c. After providing these to the program, it will display the solutions on the screen!

For example, if we have -X^2 +X+2, our coefficients are A=-1, B=1, and C=2. The X^2 coefficient is A, the X coefficient is B, and the final constant is C. If any of these terms are not present, just type in 0 as the coefficient.

If you would like your calculator to provide you with imaginary solutions, be sure to enter a+bi mode by pressing the [Mode] button and selecting a+bi mode.

Be sure to share this article with your classmates! I promise that they will love you for it.

Can you program a TI-84 CE? ›

Introduction to TI-Basic on your TI-84 Plus CE

You can create a program that will calculate a desired output or control an experience, such as a game.

What is the quadratic formula when graphing? ›

The graph of a quadratic function is a parabola. The general form of a quadratic function is f(x)=ax2+bx+c with real number parameters a, b, and c and a≠0. The standard form or vertex form of a quadratic function is f(x)=a(x−h)2+k with real number parameters a, h, and k and a≠0.

What is the quadratic model equation? ›

Quick Reference. A mathematical model represented by a quadratic equation such as Y = aX2 + bX + c, or by a system of quadratic equations. The relationship between the variables in a quadratic equation is a parabola when plotted on a graph.

Can you use the quadratic formula without a calculator? ›

You factorise it. First, you find a common factor between a, b and c. Then, you find the 2 numbers that multiplied give you c and added give you b.

How to find roots on TI-84? ›

To find the nth root of a number, use the nth root command (x√). To input the nth root command, press [MATH] [5]. Example: Find the 5th root of 16807. Press [5].

How to find the best fitting quadratic model? ›

To determine which model fits the data better, compare the y-values given by each model with the actual y-values. The model whose y-values are closest to the actual values is the better fit.

How do you find a function for a quadratic model from a table? ›

If you know the function is a quadratic and the table has at least three points, you can write ax^2 + bx + c = y and plug in the x and y values giving you a system of three linear equations in a, b, and c . Solve for a, b, c. If the table has less than three values you are out of luck.
