What Is a Table?

A table displays coordinate pair (

X

,

Y

) solutions for a defined

function. One column displays independent variable values

(

X

), and all others display corresponding dependent variable

values (

Y

).

On the TIN73, functions can be displayed in one of three ways,

as shown here with the function,

Y
