and calculator model and what you're trying to do with it

anonymous · Answer

you got a ti 84?

anonymous · Answer

yeah i got a Texas Instruments TI-84 Plus Silver Edition Graphics Calculator

anonymous · Answer

input x^2 -x as a graph then hit 2nd+graph

anonymous · Answer

but i wanted to see if it worked on a scientific calculator such as a Casio fx-115 PLUS or any type of model like that sort.

anonymous · Answer

sorry, unfamiliar with other models

you could just manually calculate the terms

anonymous · Answer

lol yeah i know how to do it manually :)

wait so how would you do with the ti 84 though?

anonymous · Answer

quickest way would just to hit y=
then type x^2 -x

then hit 2nd + graph

anonymous · Answer

oh okay thank you :)

anonymous · Answer
