Introduction to Topics in Algebra 1 Note to Teachers Welcome to the Topics in Algebra 1 software application for the TI-83 Plus and TI-73 graphing calculators. The application and Classroom Materials were designed to help students review and reinforce selected concepts taught at the Algebra 1 level. Topics in Algebra 1 is easy to use, even for inexperienced calculator users, and it encourages students to explore concepts on their own.
The screens shown in the ³ Try-It! activities are for the TI-83 Plus. Usually, the TI-73 display varies only slightly, and the students should have no problems following the instructions. However, in the cases where the two calculators vary, the ³...

Note: The ³ Try-It! activities are repeated for each of the two calculators—the TI-83 Plus and then the TI-73. The problems are the same, but they vary due to the differences in the two calculators. The Additional problems, which are identical, can be performed on either calculator.

Answers will vary. Student estimates using number sense should be close to the answer . They see that the two lines intersect at Note: See the TI-83 Plus Guidebook , for information on the TI-83 Plus automatic feature “Intersection,” which is not covered in this section. This feature is not on the TI-73.

Write out how you checked the solution. Remember: The TI-73 and the TI-83 Plus only use the variables X and Y for graphs and tables. If an equation uses letters other than X and Y, you have to change the variables in the problem to X and Y on the TI-73 and the TI-83 Plus. Use parentheses, if needed, when entering the equations in the Y= editor.
Page 137
Use y - and y 0 to locate the exact solution of the system of equations. • Note: Students will learn more about the calculator features intersect (TI-83 Plus) and Solver (TI-83 Plus and TI-73) in the ³ Try-It! section in Chapter 5: Linear Systems, Section 2: Using Algebra.

X solution. bound = {M1å å å å 99, 1å å å å 99} represents the real number line for the calculator. You can make the set smaller to find solutions in a particular interval. Then, use ƒ \ to find the calculator’s numerical solution. See the TI-83 Plus guidebook for more details about the Solver feature.
Page 151
Try-It! examples for the TI-83 Plus and the TI-73 are slightly different. They are printed on separate pages so that you can make copies of only the pages you need. Students can use either calculator to complete the problems in the Student Worksheet.
Page 157
Try-It! exercises cover different functionality available to solve a system of equations. The TI-83 Plus exercise uses the intersect feature that the TI-73 does not have. The TI-73 exercise uses the Solver to solve an independent system. The TI-83 Plus also has a Solver feature.
Page 158
• The intersect feature on the TI-83 Plus and the Solver feature on both the TI-83 Plus and the TI-73 are best used to find the solution to a system with one solution. Students should use their knowledge about the equations of lines to determine if lines are parallel or the same line before working the problem.
