That New Car Smell - Tales from the Darkside in Austin, Texas by Frank Bellucci
... Let’s do some simple math. You could go out and buy a 4-year old car and spend say, $15,000. Or you could buy the same car for $30,000+higher taxes+higher insurance.

Help, My TI-83 / Ti-84 Won't Graph by Samuel Mela
... If all you see is the following, then you need to add an expression: Plot1 Plot2 Plot3 Y1= Y2= Y3= Y4= Y5= Y6= If you want to try a really simple expression to make sure that the calculator can plot, use "Y1=X". This should plot a nice 45 degree line directly through the origin of the graph screen. Check that the Graph Function is Turned OnIt is possible that graphing of the function is not turned on in the Y= editor screen. This error is a little bit subtle.
