linear/series formula using ti-84+?
I'll try to be short with this....
I want to know how to make a growing series but for the life of me cannot remember if it can be done on a TI-84+ and if so what the formula would be:
The idea was to take a value, multiply by .05 then add the value plus the result of .05*value to get my Y value
In short:
L1 = X
L2 = 1.05X (?) [Maybe x+(x*.05)?]
Now, this is the part that is driving me nuts...
Can you take L2 results and then have that become the NEW value of x THEN multiply that new value by 5% and so forth and so on....
Example X =60
X 60 Y 63
X 63 Y 66.15
X 66.15 Y etc...
I wish to use this for the TI-84+
Thanks if you can help....
Reason: I was curious one night about how average income in US would have to grow if inflation went up 5% per year... Probably wrong way to figure inflation but oh well

So, basically want a recursive sequence. So for your example, you would have:
{ s[0] = 60
{ s[n] = 0.05*s[n−1] + s[n−1], for integer n ≥ 1
There are two ways to solve this: (1) Write s[n] in explicit form, or (2) Use your calculator.
(1) Explicit forms
Note that s[n] can be written as s[n] = 1.05s[n−1]. In other words, for each increase of 1 in n, there is an increase of 1.05 times in s[n]. Since we know that the first term s[0] = 60, that means 60 will increase by 1.05 times for every 1 increase in n.
We can thus write s[n] explicitly: s[n] = 60*1.05^n, for integer n ≥ 0.
Now you can use this as you would any power series; if you wanted to know the value of s[10], you would just compute s[10] = 60*1.05^(10) ≈ 97.734
(2) Using the calculator
You can use recursive sequences by changing your graphing mode to Seq mode via the [Mode] menu.
Press [Y=]. For your example, this is what you should fill in:
nMin = 0
u(n) = 0.05u(n−1)+u(n−1)
u(nMin) = 60
You can type in n by pressing the [X,T,θ,n] button. You can type in u by pressing [2nd][7].
Once you have that, exit back to the home screen. If you want to compute u(10), then you would just type in u(10), and you should get the same answer as above.
