TI-36X Pro: Using f(x) in Calculus
The TI-36X Pro Calculator has a table function where you can store a function in the form f(x) and use it for build a short table. But did you know the function can be used in outside calculations like calculating the derivative and the integral?
It's fairly easy to do.
1. Press the [ table ] key and select 2: Edit Function
2. Enter f(x). Use the variables key [ x ytzabcd ] to enter x.
3. Press [ enter ], [ 2nd ] [ mode ] (quit)
To recall f(x):
1. Press the [ table ] key and select 1: 1(.
2. The function call f( is inserted. You can use this to make calculations on the home screen.
Below are screen shots of an example, with f(x) set as 3x^2 + 3.
