The function on a ti-89 that gives you the zeros of a quadratic equation is called just that "zeros". To access it from the home screen, press f2 and select the label called "zeros(" then type the function and define the variable. For example:

if you want the zeros of y=x^2+7x+12 you the display should read:

zeros(x^2+7x+12,x), press enter and it will give you the results in this case {-3, -4}.

We can check if it did it right by factoring this simple quadratic. 0=x^2+7x+12 factors as 0=(x+3)(x+4) set the factors equal to zero:

x+3=0 x=-3

x+4=0 x=-4

So we see that the calculator did it right! That is always a good thing. This will work for most polynomial functions.

Who uses TI BASIC and what is its purpose?

The purpose of TI BASIC is to create math-oriented programs. It is exactly the same as what you normally input to do math, only with the addition of loops and other programish things. A big favorite is the Quadratic formula program, in which you input A, B, and C and it gives you the answers. I use TI BASIC to make my calculator do my homework for me.

How do you factor on the ti 84 calculator?

You cant factor on the ti-84. however the ti-89 does do this but its almost easier to just do it in your head. Plus on the ti-89 the way you enter it in there is a very high risk for error.
