Hey, everyone! While writing a polynomial differentiation program, I've come across a problem that I can't figure out. Say I have "4AX^3" set to Str1, and A = 3. How can I set the string to "12X^3" with TI-BASIC?
Here is the beginning of my program:
Code:
Next, the program stitches these strings together to create an equation. This is bulky, so I didn't write out the code in this post. Ultimately, some variant of "AX^4+BX^3+CX^2+DX+E" is set to Str6 and then to y1. (If any of the coefficients equal 0, then the term is removed from the string.)
Here is why I used strings. Next, I want the program to calculate the derivative of the equation using the Power Rule. So here is what follows:
Code:
I run the string stitching part of the program again, and ultimately, some variant of "4AX^3+3BX^2+2CX+D" is set to Str6 and then to y2.
Notice that the variables stay in y1 and y2, and I want the values of these variables in there rather than the letters.
If I try
Code:
then string 1 is literally "4AX^3".
If I try
Code:
then there is a data type mismatch error.
I've also looked at the commands expr, inString, but they also give me data type mismatches when I try to set them to a string. My final plan was to edit some lists, run a cubic regression, set RegEQ to y1, and use Equ►String to set it to a string. However, [RegEQ] is only available on the Cemetech SourceCoder 3, and when it's evaluated, it gives me something like "0.3rr0207," where r is the radian sign. I have a TI-84 Plus Silver Edition.
Any ideas?
Here is the beginning of my program:
Code:
:Disp "X^4 COEFFICIENT:"
:Input A
:Disp "X^3 COEFFICIENT:"
:Input B
:Disp "X^2 COEFFICIENT:"
:Input C
:Disp "X COEFFICIENT:"
:Input D
:Disp "Y-INTERCEPT:"
:Input E
:
:"AX^4"→Str1
:"BX^3"→Str2
:"CX^2"→Str3
:"DX"→Str4
:"E"→Str5
