One day, while bored in AP chemistry, I decided to just start randomly graphing things.

I started with the function f(x)=x^(sin(x)), now this graphs pretty normally on the 83/84, but on the nspire, it goes crazy while in 2D graphing mode


So I graphed i in 3d mode to see what would happen, and it comes out as it should


Hmm, I wonder if any other functions cause this too happen, and I discovered another weird one with
f(x)=x^x^x^2

Change your window, and it should change too. I remember graphing sin(x)/x and finding that the graph would look like a sine function, and then changing the window size and it would be correct, even when only by less than a percent of the window size would recalculate it. I assumed that the calculator just graphed a number of points and found the best fit curve, and that is why these appear differently, but I don’t know for sure.

but I think it makes a taylor expansion to fit the function.

I thought almost all ti calculators use the CORDIC algorithm
