Mode Settings App Features
TI-84 Evo Mode Settings controls how numbers and graphs are displayed. Settings are retained when you turn off the calculator.
From the Home Screen select the Mode Settings icon 
or from the keyboard, press j to access the mode setting screen.
Press the down arrow ≥ or the up arrow ≤ to navigate between different setting options, press right arrow › and the left arrow ‹ to move the cursor to the settings you want, and press =.
For a view of different settings included Mode Settings App, see the examples below.
Change graph mode setting
Select Mode Settings icon 
or press the j key.
- Change among Function, Parametric, Polar and Sequence modes.
Graphing modes define the graphing parameters.
Graph Icon changes depending on the Graph Type Mode Setting:
FUNCTION: graphing mode plots functions, where Y is a function of X.
PARAMETRIC: graphing mode plots relations, where X and Y are functions of T.
POLAR: graphing mode plots functions, where r is a function of θ.
SEQ: (SEQUENCE) graphing mode plots sequences. Three sequences are available: u, v, and w, with an option of the independent variables of n, n+1, and n+2.
Change to Graph Table view (split screen)
When a function is entered in the Y= editor, you can view a table of values by pressing a Ä.
Note: The table setup, a Ä, determines how table values are displayed. Check the table setup values if the table results are not in expected format of fraction. Using a mix of decimal and fractions will not retain fractions.
Change to Horizontal View (horizontal split screen)
In horizontal mode, the bottom zone can be the function editor, list editor, the table, or the calculator. The top area is always the graph screen. Change the bottom view by selecting the desired application using the icons on the home screen or the appropriate key.
