Question

isn't there any good websites that will teach me tricks and how to be faster at the SAT math test?//

Answer 1

There's a calculator that will help you a lot in those tests (as long as you are allowed to use one!)

Answer 2

You could get daily sat questions sent to your email..as for speed..you'd have to time your self..

Answer 3

what is the calculators name

Answer 4

the TI-89

Answer 5

thanks

Answer 6

do you know where they sell it

Answer 7

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ti_89

Get the new model: the TI-89 titanium

They may sell it in decent bookstores (or anywhere where they may sell calculators... sometimes you may only find Casio models)

Answer 8

thanxxxx

Answer 9

My bookstore ripped me off, though. It cost me $300 :-( more than an iPod touch (for hardware iwth a 30MHz processor, tiny screen, and no color :-P).

Answer 10

ti-89 can graph with respects to y??

Answer 11

you mean graph f(y)?

Answer 12

yeah, like x=y^3-2y

Answer 13

I don't think it can by default, but you can program your own functions in the calculator that will enable you to do it automatically.

For something like x=y^3-2y, you might be able to use the solve() default function with a parameter for y (so y ends up at the left hand side) and then graph the resultant equation.

Answer 14

hmm, cause if it could, it would be nice to help check answers to questions about areas in between curves, especially in respects to y

Answer 15

It has a great standard 'catalog' of functions. It solves equations symbolically, including indefinite integrals/derivatives.

Answer 16

okay thanks

Answer 17

The standard documentation that comes with the calculator is also much better than whatever CASIO includes :-(

Answer 18

i have ti-84 silver plus edition

Answer 19

I have that model sitting somewhere at home. I haven't used it as much as the TI-89 Titanium, but I think the TI-89 can do much more.

Answer 20

yeah, its not as fancy as a ti-89, but it does the job.....for now

Answer 21

Besides, I think you can program 'higher-level' functions like writing a matrix into row echelon form in the ti-84. Not sure about CAS though.

Answer 22

The ti-89 is not allowed on the SAT I do believe. The TI-84 is allowed. They do not allow the TI-89 I think because it it has a CAS so best get used to a TI-84 or something like it.
