User questions & answers

Question:	will this calculator fit the needs for all math? (calc, algebra, geometry, etc
Answer:	is this good for high school geometry
Question:	Is this allowed for sat/act tests
Answer:	This is allowed on both the SAT and ACT tests as well as AP exams.
Question:	Can this be used for Algebra through Calculus in high school
Answer:	Yes it can. Many of my customers are high school / college students. They mainly use it for calculus and statistics all throughout their school career.
Question:	COMPARE WITH I
Answer:	It's a lot easier to use. The TI-83 requires the user to remember a lot more. It uses parentheticals to enter data, so the user must enter the required data in the required order, but there is no prompt. The TI-84 gives prompts for required data points such as mean, median, z-scores, critical values, etc. It also has more data packages than the 83, so less work has to be done manually. I'm kind of glad my 83 crapped out so I had to replace it! :-P Hope that helps.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this work easily for algebra polynomials
Answer:	or polynomials with multiple variable instances, the Poly Root Finder and Simultaneous Equation Solver must be used instead. Access this tool by pressing the APPS button and scrolling down through the menu to find the entry labeled ":PolySmlt" in the menu. As there are only hotkeys for the first 10 entries (numbered "1" through "0"), you'll have to navigate the menu manually; it takes 30 presses of the DOWN ARROW to reach the correct entry. Press the ENTER key to launch the app, pressing a key when prompted and selecting the first entry labeled "1:Poly Root Finder." Enter the highest numbered exponent when prompted for the degree of the poly, press ENTER and enter the values of the coefficients for each term in the polynomial. Press the GRAPH key (located under "SOLVE" on the screen) to begin processing the polynomial; after a moment, the calculator will display every value of x that it calculated and will display "NONREAL" for other options that did not return valid solutions.
Question:	There is no light indicator on the calculator
Answer:	No
Question:	Does it do fractions
Answer:	yes. Press the green alpha button, then the y= button and select the type of fraction you want. Use the arrows to get to the boxes and type :)
Question:	Has anyone bought the Standard Packaging version recently? If so, was it the same black calculator displayed in the pictures
Answer:	What I am selling is a used calculator so therefore it does not come with the original/standard packaging. It looks and is exactly the same calculator as the one in the picture. I place it in a protective bubble envelope for safe shipment.

User questions & answers

Question:	Did it come with computer software
Answer:	I agree with the Al's comment. HP 10BII+ is really tailored for finance use only while the TI BAII+ has similar functions of a scientific calculator.
Question:	Does it solve indefinite integrals
Answer:	I think the main difference is one is meant exclusively for a finance class. It should have the software or programming to calculate finance problems.
Question:	Would be possible to solve simultaneous equations with complex numbers? Would be possible to calculate the square root of a complex number
Answer:	yes it does have commas in between themThanks
Question:	Is it good for geometry exam
Answer:	A much more extensive, 187-page manual is available for download on the HP website. It offers a lot more information on how to solve for various equations than the user guide that comes with the calculator:http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.BINARYPORTLET/public/kb/docDisplay/resource.process/?spf_p.tpst=kbDocDisplay_ws_BI&spf_p.rid_kbDocDisplay=docDisplayResURL&javax.portlet.begCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&spf_p.rst_kbDocDisplay=wsrp-resourceState%3DdocId%253Demr_na-c02989763-1%257CdocLocale%253Den_US&javax.portlet.endCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetokenI also recommend buying the Kaplan Schweser book "Understanding Your Financial Calculator," which contains step-by-step instructions for 10bII+ users to solve various financial equations.

User questions & answers

Question:	People that have had it for a while, whats your biggest gripe about it
Answer:	x10^n key instead of EE I have to hit shift to get to the asin, acos, and atan functions sto is not intuitive as it should be sto is under a shift layer instead of on top the tool box icon and x,n,t keys are a little confusing as to what they do yellow letters on white background is stupid, they should offer a black or dark grey version of this calc. keyboard feel isnt the greatest, my TI89 and Nspire have better feel desperately needs a qwerty key board for writing scripts
Question:	Is it approved to use it during exams
Answer:	The Numworks web site claims it is approved for SAT and ACT. Of course, since the calculator is open-source, what actually runs on the calculator can be arbitrarily changed by the owner, if sufficient programming skills are available.
Question:	What python packages are installed? Can other/additional packages be installed
Answer:	The web site lists all of the packages in the microPython library built into the calculator.
Question:	Can i use python to build applications for this calculator
Answer:	I'm pretty sure you cannot write an app. The documentation seems to indicate you can write microPython programs as a learning exercise but only as stand alone programs that don't have access to the calculator functionality. The only output seems to be printing. Dissapointing.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this calculator come with an owners manual
Answer:	There is also an app manual:https://www.amazon.com/Graphing-Calculator-Manual-TI-84-Plus/dp/B01MYF33Q4Maybe this is also interesting for you. Also available on Google Play and iOS.
Question:	What is the battery life before needing recharged? How long to recharge
Answer:	I conducted a test where I left the calculator running on max brightness non-stop until it died. It took over 30 hours before the battery was completely drained. Since no one runs their calculator non stop for 30 hours straight, this equates to a month of normal use at max brightness. If you want to extend it to two months or more, be sure to keep the brightness turned down. It takes 1-2 hours to charge from a dead battery.
Question:	Does it come with a cover? (like previous TI-84s
Answer:	Yes. I got the black model,and it came a light grayish colored cover.
Question:	My daughter's math teacher recommends to buy ti-84 plus graphing caculator. is this ti-84 plus ce graphing calculator will do same
Answer:	Good evening. This is the new TI-84 Plus CE model that replaces the Ti 84 Plus and comes with new functions and in different colors. I have pink, purple, gray, blue and black.
