Ti 89 Enter the data APPS 6 (the data/matrix editor) 3 (New) Name it cubic In C1 enter 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 move over and up In C2 enter 90, 99, 100, 102, 107, 128 while still in the data editor F5 (this is called the calculate window make the type CubicReg > 3 make x c1 make y c2 store regEQ to y1(x) enter a dialog with the answers y = a x^3 + b x^2 + c x + d a = 1.166667 b = -42.392857 c = 513.22619 d = -1969.714286 ... appears this is the best cubic fit. enter green diamond F1 (y= key) will show the equatin in the y1(x)= go up and highlight plot1 ^ enter plot type scatter make x c1 make y c2 green diamond F2 (window key) xmin = 10 xmax = 15 ymin = 90 ymax = 130 green diamond F3 (graph) You should see the data and cubic fit in the graph window Nice fit isn't it. Another check is to repeat this for #23 section 3.3 the answers match the ones in the back of the text with slight differences in the least significant decimal places.
