The TI-92 program, FCN, below defines the same population multiplier function as in the Java applet in this module. By modifying this program -- that is, the numbers stored in
-- which correspond to the values of the population multiplier function at the points
you can work with the same kinds of functions that you can work with using the Java applet. You can load this program into your TI-92 in any of the usual ways -- by downloading it from thiscomputer if you have a Graph Link cable, by linking from another TI-92 that already has the program, or, as a last resort, by typing it in.
There have been numerous problems downloading programs for TI graphing calculators using the method above. If that method works, it is very clean. Sometimes, however, it doesn't work. In that case we can fall back on an older method, uuencoding, that is less user-friendly but more reliable. Click here for more information about this method. Then click here for a uuencoded (text file).
You may want to look at the TI-92 help modules on Making Tables for Sequences and Graphing Sequences for help on making tables of values for sequences and making graphs of sequences defined by models like the models in this module. You may also want to look at the TI-92 file for the previous module for help with cobweb diagrams.
For this module it is best to set up the Y= screen as shown below.
