The TI-84 Plus CE supports four graphing modes, each designed for different types of mathematical expressions. You can graph up to 10 functions simultaneously in different colors.

Function (Y=) Mode

Plot rectangular functions y = f(x). Up to 10 functions at once.

Parametric Mode

Graph 6 parametric pairs x(t), y(t) simultaneously.

Polar Mode

Plot 6 polar equations r = f(θ) with adjustable angle range.

Sequence Mode

Graph 3 recursively defined sequences. Time series, cobweb, and phase plots.

TRACE Function

Move a cursor along a graph to read exact coordinate values.

ZOOM Controls

ZBox, Zoom In, Zoom Out, ZStandard, ZTrig, ZDecimal, and more.

Graph-Table Split

View graph and value table simultaneously in split-screen mode.

CALC Menu

Find zeros, intersections, min/max, derivatives, and integrals from the graph.

Color Graphing

14 line colors and multiple line styles for easy function differentiation.

Shading

Shade regions above, below, or between functions using the Shade( command.

Tip: Use 2nd + CALC from the graph screen to access the Calculate menu. Select zero, intersect, minimum, or maximum without typing any commands.
