Both will result in the same final result, it is up to you which you would like to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Option One: Download the Program and Send to your Calculator<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Alright, let&#8217;s get started! Here is what you need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>A TI-84 Plus CE or TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition Calculator<\/li><li>Calculator charging cable<\/li><li>TI Connect CE Installed (<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/ti84calcwiz.com\/\/resources\" target=\"_blank\">Download Here<\/a>)<\/li><li>Quadratic Formula Program (<a href=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/ti84calcwiz-plusce-math\/QUADSOLV.8xp\">Download Here<\/a>)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Grab your calculator charging cable, plug your calculator into your computer, and open TI Connect CE. Make sure your calculator is turned on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Click on the &#8220;Calculator Explorer&#8221; tab on the sidebar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ti84calcwiz.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/520902_0959520367d64f8db3819d01ccf9abb3_mv2-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1182\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>You should now see a list of all the files on your calculator. Time to add another one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply drag the Quadratic Formula Program you downloaded above into the list, and click the &#8220;SEND&#8221; button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Option Two: Program it Manually on Your&nbsp;Calculator<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ti84calcwiz.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/520902_5ced5aad5bdf49b09db18500435dc1d6_mv2.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1183\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Behold, the source code! If you are looking at this and have no idea how to put it on your calculator, here is a good video to help you out:\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/z1jqegsr7dM\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/z1jqegsr7dM.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Using the Program<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting from your calculator home screen, press the [PRGM] button. Select the Quadratic Formula Program from the list, and press the [ENTER] button to run it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The program will prompt you to enter the coefficients a, b, and c. After providing these to the program, it will display the solutions on the screen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if we have -X^2 +X+2, our coefficients are A=-1, B=1, and C=2. The X^2 coefficient is A, the X coefficient is B, and the final constant is C. If any of these terms are not present, just type in 0 as the coefficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you would like your calculator to provide you with imaginary solutions, be sure to enter a+bi mode by pressing the [Mode] button and selecting a+bi mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to share this article with your classmates! I promise that they will love you for it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Memorizing the quadratic formula is a problem that can usually be solved with the help of a few&nbsp;helpful songs.
