Sometimes, as in Chapter 19, the full name TI-84 Plus Silver Edition is used to 
distinguish it from the TI-84 Plus. 
All the instructions and examples in this guidebook also work for the TI-84 Plus. All the 
functions of the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition and the TI-84 Plus are the same. The two 
graphing calculators differ only in available RAM memory, interchangeable faceplates, 
and Flash application ROM memory.
