Problem with calculator (TI-84 Plus Texas Instrument... graph not appearing for as long as it should on screen?
I am trying to learn how to graph with a TI-84 Plus Texas Instruments calculator by entering an equation.I tried doing this by pressing y= and then in the first numbered line I put the equation. The calculator does a graph but only keeps it on the screen for about a second and then it shows ERR:SYNTAX below that there is 1: Quit and 2: Gotto. How can I keep the graph on the screen?

In the equation you entered in Y1, make sure you don't have any typos. For example, if you want to type in X−1, make sure you press the [−] button to enter the subtraction sign, and not [(-)], the negation button. If you press 2:Goto when you get the Err:Syntax message, it should go to where it encountered the error.

Click the go to button on the error screen and it will show you where your error is. it might be ur using negatives as subtraction signs or vice versa. But its probably that your window isn't set right. Set it correctly by inserting numbers that work with your equation. For example for Xmax (maximum for x) try 50 and Xmin: -50. Do the same for Ymax and Ymin. Then for Xscale (i thin thats the name) do 1 and the same for Y scale. If that doesnt work too bad.

you need to hit window(in the top gray buttons) and change xmin to -100 and the xmax to 100
then put the ymin at -100 and the ymax at 100 and see if that works
good luck!
