Does the conics application for the TI-83 Plus provide the same graphing capability as the graphing functions that are built into the calculator?
Not exactly. The conics application is more like a draw function than a graph function. The [TABLE], [CALC], [WINDOW], and other functions will not work with the conics app. The [TRACE] will work, however, and you can use that to get values off your graph in case you’re required to put it on paper. If you’re wondering about whether to get it, I recommend you get it. It’s free, and it’s better than solving for “y” and entering two equations in most cases.
