TI-92 CAS Window
From Three Dimensions to Two and Back

You may want to look at the help modules below for this module.

The screens below show how the TI-92 may be used to find the location of the shadow produced by an object located at the point

P = (2, 1, 1)

illuminated by a light source located at the point

S = (1, -2, 8)

Missing TI-92 screen

The screen above finds the value of t that solves the equation

S + t (P - S) = (x, y, 0)

Because we want to use this value of t to determine x and y we save it as shown in the screen below.

Missing TI-92 screen

and now we compute x and y as shown in the screen below.
