TI-NspireTM Technology – What’s new in Version 1.6?Overview of what is covered in this presentation:

TI-Nspire Technology Release 1.6 |

TI-Nspire Technology – Operating System Version 1.6

• Battery Life Extension!

• More battery indicator levels

• TI-Nspire handhelds go into a “deep sleep” mode after 4 days to save battery life when not in use. Operating system on handheld will reboot when the handheld is turned back on.

Approximately 70Days given 2 hours of

active use per day

TI-Nspire Technology – Help Menu Changes

• New help menu items• “Visit” options for web sites • Download Guidebook option• Register option

TI-Nspire Technology Release 1.6 |

Graphs & GeometryTI-Nspire Technology – Version 1.6 Updates

• Grab and move graphs of f(x) = ax2 + bx + c. The graphs have to be graphed initially in the form of f(x) above for them to be translated in this form.

Grab on to the vertex of a parabola and the graph can be moved up, down, left or right while the equations update in standard form.

Grab on to the sides of the parabola and the graph can be stretched or compressed vertically and the equation will update in standard form.

TI-Nspire Technology – Version 1.6 Updates

• New Point of Interest menu!• When you trace on a graph, you will now get a box in the upper left corner for

points of interest on the graph. Make sure that you go to trace settings and click the box for enable calc menu.

• The inflection point choice is only on TI-Nspire CAS and will not be identified by just moving the trace point along the graph. Only zeros, minimums, maximums and intersection points can be identified by moving the point along a graph.

Graphs & Geometry

TI-Nspire Technology Release 1.6 |

TI-Nspire Technology – Version 1.6 Updates

• New Point of Interest menu - Continued!• To use, click on the question mark, choose which choice you want,

move the shaded area to the interval you want the handheld to look at on the function and press enter. You can make the shaded area bigger or smaller by pressing the navigation pad up or down.
