148 Chapter 9: Sequence Graphing

09SEQUEN.DOC TI-89/TI-92 Plus: Sequence Graphing (English) Susan Gullord Revised: 02/23/01 10:59 AM Printed: 02/23/01 2:14 PM Page 148 of 14

1. On the Y= Editor (

¥ # ), define

u1(n) =

ë

.8u1(n

ì

1) + 3.6

. Set

initial value

ui1 =

ë

4

.

2. Set

Axes = TIME

.

3. On the Window Editor

(

¥ $ ), set the Window

variables.

nmin=1.

xmin=0.

ymin=

ë

10.

nmax=25.

xmax=25.

ymax=10.

plotstrt=1.

xscl=1.

yscl=1.

plotstep=1.

4. Graph the sequence

(

¥ %).

By default, a sequence uses
the

Square

display style.

5. On the Y= Editor, set

Axes = WEB

and

Build Web = AUTO

.

6. On the Window Editor, change

the Window variables.

nmin=1.

xmin=

ë

10. ymin=

ë

10.

nmax=25.

xmax=10.

ymax=10.

plotStrt=1.

xscl=1.

yscl=1.

plotStep=1.

7. Regraph the sequence.

Web plots are always shown
as lines, regardless of the
selected display style.

8. Press …. As you press B, the trace cursor follows the web. The

screen displays the cursor coordinates

nc

,

xc

, and

yc

(where

xc

and

yc

represent

u(n

ì

1)

and

u(n)

, respectively).

As you trace to larger values of

nc

, you can see

xc

and

yc

approach

the convergence point.

1. On the Y= Editor (

¥ # ), define

u1(n) = 3.2u1(n

м

1)

м

.8(u1(n

ì

1))

2

.

Set initial value

ui1 = 4.45

.

2. Set

Axes = TIME

.

3. On the Window Editor

(

¥ $ ), set the

Window variables.

nmin=0.

xmin=0.

ymin=

ë

75.

nmax=10.

xmax=10.

ymax=10.

plotStrt=1.

xscl=1.

yscl=1.

plotStep=1.

4. Graph the sequence

(

¥ % ).

Because the sequence
quickly diverges to large
negative values, only a few
points are plotted.

Example:
Convergence

Tip: During a trace, you can
move the cursor to a
specified n value by typing
the value and pressing

¸

.

Tip: When the nc value
changes, the cursor is on
the sequence. The next time
you press

B

, nc stays the

same but the cursor is now
on the y=x reference line.

Example:
