It's only $10, but you can do stuff like this on it in one shot:

269-3(5*4-6)^2-6/8

It's a lot easier than having to do this on a regular calculator

269-3(5x4-6)^2-6/8
269-(15x12-18)^2-6/8
269-(162)^2-6/8
269-26244-6/8
269-26244-.75

=-25975.75

I think I have it right

My Baby
Edit: Now I think I have it right

I'm getting -319.75 :confused:
.


Same here. It's all about PEMDAS.

We call it BEDMAS at my school... I'm positive I did that right...
Then you should be positive you suck at the math.

You can do boobies on it too :p

I can write, "Codegen sucks at the math" on mine.


Proper: "Codegen sucks at math"

I'm positive you're wrong. Thanks.

It's PEMDAS, tell your teacher that (s)he's a dumbass.

I am getting -1279/4 too

I have a Ti92, it's too clunky for me. I prefer my Ti89.

Why is he distributing the 3 before doing the operations inside the parentheses and the exponent? Did I miss something?
Public school prematurely advances students. I say that there should be mandatory tests to enter each grade.

At my school, we called it PANDAS. Cuddly pandas.

If he's screwing up fourth grade math, what will happen in Calculus? :D

I usually get the fraction thing right. Lack of sleep + splitting headache + Fumes from the fresh paint all around the school kinda fvcks you up a bit.

That sucks. I was in the middle of a half a page integral test for series convergence, I was off by a constant because I sucked at the deriving :(

What fraction thing?

= 3 (5*4-6)^2
= 3 (20 - 6)^2
= 3 (14)^2
= 3 (196)
= 588

You did it this way:
= 3 (5*4-6)^2
= (15*12-18)^2
= (162)^2
= 26244

Just picked up a TI-89 Titanium a few weeks ago. The TI-89 Titanium is actually the replacement/upgrade for the TI-92, since they phased it out of production.

Note to self/all: Don't try to be a smartass when you can't be smart.

I'm getting the damn algebra confused with normal crap.

The 3/4 thing is what I was talking about.

People, please tell me.

WHERE THE HELL ARE WE GONNA USE ALL OF THIS CRAP? (Some I can understand, but I fail to see the day where I'm going to have to go 3(3*4)+6(5*7) )

Which equals 246, right?

TI-89 rocks. Does everything the 92 does, with no qwerty keyboard, so its allowed in many places that dont let you use a 92.
