Available Worksheets
Worksheets are optional unless specified by your instructor. They are separated into three categories, review material, calculator, and class material worksheets.
It might help to use the Find function to find the worksheet you are looking for. Press the Control (Ctrl, lower left of keyboard) button and the F key to bring up the Find dialog box. Enter the subject you want a worksheet about and select the "Find Next" button repeatedly. Your computer will find all instances of that word on this page.
You must have Acrobat Reader to open these PDF documents. You can get this at www.adobe.com. To print, use the small print button inside the PDF document's window.

The calculator will calculate the exact points of
humps in the graph.
|
Finding maximums and minimums on your calculator | |
|
This is a good program to start with if you are
interested in programming your calculator. It calculates the distance
and midpoint between two given points.

|
This is the above program for the TI86 or TI85.
|
TI86 or TI85 Distance and midpoint program DIST2 | |
|
Program your calculator so that it will calculate
solutions to quadratic equations. It does not show you complex solutions.
Programming your calculator is an advanced task.
|
Quadratic formula program for the TI-83 (This also works on the TI-84.) | |
|
These are instructions for using the above program,
after you have input it into your calculator.
|
QUADFORM program instructions (for all calculators) | |
|
This is a more complicated quadratic formula program.
It will give you complex solutions if needed. It is long to put
in your calculator but you might find it interesting.
|
TI83 (or TI82 or TI84) Quadratic formula program QUADRATC | |
|
This is the same program as above but there are
some variations for the TI86 or TI85 calculators.
|
TI86 (or TI85) Quadratic formula program QUAD2 | |
|
This helps you use the program above once you enter
it.
|
Using the program QUAD2 (TI86 and TI85) or QUADRATC (TI82 or TI83) | |
