physicsgal said:according to my calculator (just started using it a few days ago), it's a parabola (sp?) and the vertex is about x = -1.7, y = -1. that's just with me using the trace function (i don't know how to get the vertex the normal way). hope this helps.

(4+3x)(6+3x)=24
thanks :shy:
There are a few potential reasons for this. It could be a faulty battery, a software malfunction, or physical damage to the device. It's also possible that the calculator simply ran out of power and needs to be charged.
It depends on the extent of the damage and whether or not it is still under warranty. If the issue is a simple fix, such as replacing the battery, then it can likely be repaired. However, if the damage is more severe, it may be more cost-effective to purchase a new calculator.
This can vary depending on the brand and model of the calculator, as well as how frequently it is used. On average, a graphing calculator can last anywhere from 5-10 years before needing to be replaced.
To extend the lifespan of your graphing calculator, it's important to properly care for it. This includes keeping it away from extreme temperatures, not dropping it or subjecting it to physical damage, and regularly cleaning the buttons and screen. It's also a good idea to use a protective case to prevent damage.
Yes, it is possible to recycle a graphing calculator. Many electronics recycling centers will accept them, or you can check with the manufacturer for any recycling programs they offer. It's important to properly dispose of electronic devices to prevent harm to the environment.
