Appendix A: Functions and Instructions

DrwCtour

CATALOG

DrwCtour

expression

DrwCtour

list

Draws contours on the current 3D graph at the z
values specified by

expression

or

list

. The 3D

graphing mode must already be set.

DrwCtour

automatically sets the graph format style to

CONTOUR LEVELS

.

By default, the graph automatically contains the
number of equally spaced contours specified by
the

ncontour

Window variable.

DrwCtour

draws contours in addition to the defaults.

To turn off the default contours, set

ncontour

to

zero, either by using the Window screen or by
storing 0 to the

ncontour

system variable.

In 3D graphing mode:

Use the cursor to change the viewing angle.
Press 0 (zero) to return to the original view.

To toggle between different graph format styles,
press ¥ Í

Press X, Y, or Z to look down the
corresponding axis.

key

mantissa

E

exponent

Enters a number in scientific notation. The
number is interpreted as

mantissa

× 10

exponent

.

Hint: If you want to enter a power of 10 without
causing a decimal value result, use 10^

integer

expression

Returns

e

raised to the

expression1

power.

Note: On the TI-89 Titanium, pressing ¥ s to
display e^( is different from pressing j

[E ] .

On the Voyage 200, pressing

2s to display

e^ is different from accessing the character e
from the QWERTY keyboard.

You can enter a complex number in

r

e

i

q

polar

form. However, use this form in Radian angle
mode only; it causes a

Domain error

in Degree or

Gradian angle mode.

^(

squareMatrix1

)

squareMatrix

Returns the matrix exponential of

squareMatrix1

.

This is

not

the same as calculating

e

raised to the

power of each element. For information about the
calculation method, refer to

cos()

.

squareMatrix1

must be diagonalizable. The result

always contains floating-point numbers.
