How To Make a Simple Program to Simplify Radicals on a TI 84

It can be hard to simplify radicals.It's difficult to remember the steps if you don't have a calculator.To simplify radicals, you can program your TI-84 calculator.Don't know how?You can learn how to make your own TI 84 program.

Step 1: You can create a new program.

Press the button and use the right-arrow to scroll to the new page.

Step 2: Press Enter if you want to enter a name for the program.

Something like "SIMPRAD" should suffice.Up to 8 characters can be used in your program name.Press to save it after entering the program name.

Step 3: Write Prompt N.

Go to the I/O tab and select Prompt after pressing PRGRM.Press the ENTER if you want to type the letter N.

Step 4: Store 1 is located in C.

Press STO>, then type C and hit enter.

Step 5: Store 2 is located in F.

Press STO>, then type F and hit ENTER.

Step 6: Write while F.

Select while to press.Press and then write the letter F.You can choose the symbol.Write (N) and hit it.

Step 7: Write while f Part(N/F2).

The line may be broken into two parts because it is wider than the screen.Select while to press.Press.Select fPART when you go to the tab.To hit, type >N/F2 and close the parentheses.Press and take a test.Enter equal to zero.

Step 8: There is a store in C.

Press and write C, then hit it.

Step 9: The store is in N.

Press and write N, then hit it.

To type, press.Next, type F and hit.

Step 14: Write out your last words.

Select End and then hit.

Step 15: Write Disp C.

Press.Select Disp from the I/O tab.Write N with type C and press.

Step 16: You can exit the program editor.

Press and then exit after you've created the program.Changes will be saved automatically.

Step 17: You can open the program.

Press the button on the calculator if you want to open your program.

Step 18: You can enter the number under the radical.

If you want to simplify (88), you would enter 88.

Step 19: Press enter.

The first and second numbers show the coefficients of the simplified radical.
