Texas Instruments TI NSPIRE CX Software Calculator

Overview

The TI-Nspire CX CAS provides algebraic capability to symbolically solve equations, factor and expand variable expressions, complete the square, find antiderivatives, computer limits and exact solutions in irrational forms, making it a robust hands-learning tool that satisfies math and science curriculum needs from middle school through college.

Built-in Functionality

• Computer Algebra System (CAS) capabilities
• Function, parametric, polar, sequence, and 3D graphing
• Multiple graphing functions can be defined, saved, graphed and analyzed at one time
• User-defined list names in Lists & Spreadsheet
• Eleven interactive zoom features
• Numeric evaluations in table format for all graphing modes
• Interactive analysis of function values, roots, maximums, minimums, integrals and derivatives
• Six different graph styles and 15 colors to select from for differentiating the look of each graph drawn
• List-based one- and two-variable statistical analysis, including logistic, sinusoidal, median-median, linear, logarithmic, exponential, power, quadratic polynomial, cubic polynomial, and quartic polynomial regression models
• Three statistical plot definitions for scatter plots, xy-line plots, histograms, regular and modified box-and-whisker plots, and normal probability plots
• Advanced statistics analysis, including 10 hypothesis testing functions, seven confidence interval functions and one-way analysis of variance
• Eighteen probability distributions functions, including the cumulative distribution function (CDF), probability density function (PDF) and inverse probability distribution function for normal, chi-squared, t-, and F- distributions and the CDF and PDF for binomial, geometric and Poisson distributions
• Built-in interactive geometry capabilities
• Quick alpha keys
• Simple drop-down menus – emulate the intuitive operation of familiar computer features
• TI-Nspire Documents (.tns files) — compatible with TI-Nspire Software, TI-Nspire handhelds and TI-Nspire Apps for iPad — can be created, edited, saved and reviewed
• Use images (.jpeg, .jpg, .bmp, .png formats) that can be overlaid with graphical elements
• Explore mathematical expressions in symbolic form, see patterns and understand the math behind the formulas
• Visualize of multiple representations of a single problem algebraic, graphical, geometric, numeric and written
• Chem Box feature allows easy input chemical formulas and equations
• Manipulate linked representations of properties to instantly update the others and show meaningful connections without switching screens (e.g.. grab a graphed function and move it to see the effect on corresponding equations and data lists)
