TI 89 Titanium help?

Question

Hey there!

I've got a TI 89 Titanium calculator, and everything seems to work fine except for the graphing function.

For some odd reason, it won't display the background axis.

For example, if I input ((x)^2)+2, it will give me a parabola a little off center with no x or y axis in the background. Its as if I drew a parabola on a blank sheet of paper.

Any help so I can get my axis and my sanity back?

Answer 1

Go to the equations list (Green diamond key then F1). Then press the Green Diamond key and the key to the right of the 7 key (looks like this: |  )

Once you do that, you should see a window pop up titled "GRAPH FORMATS", you can then select different options. The fourth one on the list is "Axes", go down it and and set it to "ON" then press Enget to save it and you should now see the axes.

Answer 2

Draw it with a marker on the screen.
