<p>Does any1 know any good tips.programs for the ti 89 for ap calc ab exam</p>
<p>Bump dis beat</p>
<p>i know how to get a derivative, get the anti derivative, find where lines intersect, etc. but im assuming you know how to do that?</p>
<p>here are some apps: [TI-89</a> BASIC Math Programs (Calculus) - ticalc.org](<a href=“http://www.ticalc.org/pub/89/basic/math/calculus/]TI-89”>TI-89 BASIC Math Programs (Calculus) - ticalc.org)</p>
<p>are you even allowed to use a ti89 for calc ab ap exam? you might want to check and make sure if thats allowed…</p>
<p>I have a TI-89 and I don’t use it as much as I think I would when taking practice AP exams. </p>
<p>Be aware that it has a great computer algebra system. One of the things I love is that it can do things like finding indefinite integrals, unlike lesser calculators. If you come up with a problem that you think will take more than 10 seconds by hand and it is in a calculator section don’t bother trying to solve it analytically and risk a simple mistake. Of course you should know how to do this without a calculator as those types of questions come up more often on the non calculator sections.</p>
<p>As far as I know it can find find the derivative of a function/value at a point, definite/indefinite integrals, limits, implicit differentiation, graph slope fields. However the College Board seems to be well aware of this and at least in practice exams and released exams I haven’t found these capabilities very useful (however it is great when checking solutions to homework problems). </p>
<p>This teacher has a great tutorial on using the TI-89:
[TI-89</a> “How To’ Index](<a href=“http://www.batesville.k12.in.us/physics/CalcNet/Calculator/ti_89/index.html]TI-89”>TI-89 “How To’ Index)
This is great as well:

<p>The best way to do well on the exam however is to simply know calculus well. However having a good calculator doesn’t hurt, especially when you get annoying things to solve by hand like Riemann sums.</p>
