8 Getting Started
The table feature of the TI.80 provides numeric information about a function.
Use a table of values from the previously defined function to estimate an answer
to the problem.
1. Press y # (above p) to display the
TABLE SETUP screen.
2. Press Í to accept TBLMIN=0.
3. Press .5 Í to define the table increment @TBL=.5.
4. Press y & (above s) to display the table.
Note that the maximum value is around 1.5, between
1 and 2.
5. Press and hold to scroll the table until the sign
change appears. Note that the maximum length of X
for this problem occurs where the sign of Y1
(volume) becomes negative.
6. Press y #. Note that TBLMIN has changed to
reflect the first line of the table you last displayed.
