Solution 34777: Graphing a Non-Recursive Sequence Using the TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition.
How can I graph a non-recursive sequence using the TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition?
The example below shows how to graph a non-recursive sequence using the TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition. A non-recursive sequence is a sequence in which the nth term is a function of the independent variable n and each term is independent of all the other terms.NOTE: For this example, the handheld's mode settings will need to be changed.
• Press [MODE].
• Scroll down and over to SEQ and press [ENTER] to change to SEQ mode.
• Press [CLEAR] to return to the home screen.
Example: Graph the sequence function u(n)=2n+1.
• Press [Y=] to access the Y= editor.
• Press the up arrow key then press [1] [ENTER] to set the nMin value equal to 1.
NOTE: nMin is smallest value of n the sequence will evaluate. To input the n variable, press [X,T,q,n].
• Press [2] [X,T,q,N] [+] [1] to set u(n) equal to 2n+1.
• For the u(nMin), leave it blank.
• For the u(nMin), leave it blank.
• Press [GRAPH] to display the graph.
