To display the current graph format settings, press y
[
FORMAT]. Chapter 3 describes the format settings in detail. The
other graphing modes share these format settings.
When you press s, the TI-82 STATS plots the selected
polar equations. It evaluates
R for each value of q (from qmin to
qmax in intervals of qstep) and then plots each point. The
window variables define the viewing window.
As the graph is plotted,
X, Y, R, and q are updated.
Smart Graph applies to polar graphs (Chapter 3).
You can perform these actions from the home screen or a
program.
• Access functions by using the name of the equation as a
variable.
• Store polar equations.
• Select or deselect polar equations.
• Store values directly to window variables.
