What is the primary purpose of using the TI Inspire Touchpad Calculator in Algebra 1 EOC tests?

• To check answers and improve test scores

• To graph functions only

• To replace all manual calculations

• To solve complex calculus problems

When graphing a function, what is crucial to remember about entering negative signs?

• Negative and minus signs are interchangeable

• Use the minus sign for subtraction only

• Use the negative sign for negative numbers

• The calculator automatically corrects the sign

What feature allows you to ask the calculator for the dependent value given an independent value?

• Ask feature

• Table settings

• Graph feature

• Scratch pad

Why is it important to correctly use negative and minus signs in equations?

• Because the calculator uses them interchangeably

• To ensure the calculator performs operations correctly

• To avoid syntax errors only

• To speed up the calculation process

What is the significance of the 'Ask feature' in table settings?

• It saves previous answers for future reference

• It creates a new graph for each query

• It allows manual entry of x-values to find y-values

• It automatically solves equations

How do you adjust the view of a graph to see all important points?

• Restart the calculator

• Manually adjust the window settings

• Change the equation

• Use the zoom fit feature

Why is it important to label columns when using the data and statistics feature?

• To enable the use of color in graphs

• To prevent the calculator from erasing data

• To allow the calculator to perform calculations faster

• To differentiate between dependent and independent variables

How can you determine the correct graph of an inequality?

• By the equation format

• By the slope of the line only

• By the direction of the shading

• By the type of line (dotted or solid) only

What does a linear regression analysis help you find?

• The vertex of a parabola

• An equation to predict values

• The exact solution to an inequality

• The highest point on a graph

What indicates that a function is linear when analyzing changes in x and y values?

• The values form a parabola

• The values increase at a constant rate

• The x-values are squared

• The y-values decrease over time
