Well this is kinda weird/funny/bad...

My calculator, a TI 83 plus, is messed up.  All it's trigonomotry is messed up.  Apparently the sine of 90 is .8939966636... it's actually 1.

Discuss.

Doesn't work, I tried resetting it 3 different ways including taking out all the batteries and backup battery.  I think it's perminate, but I'm taking it to my math teacher tomorrow.

Sometimes on tests I really do think that my calculator gives out the wrong answer.

Find someone post count. Click posts under username. Find number of pages. Times that by 40 for min and 60 for max and you have a rough estimate of post count.

Lol, but this is completely messed up, all the trig functions are.

Isn't that the calculator someone wrote a port of Doom for?

Re: Well this is kinda weird/funny/bad...

I hope you haven't been using this calculator for long if you haven't figured out how to use the modes properly yet or else all of your trigonometric equations could be wrong. You see a button labeled 'Mode'? You have to set your calculator to DEG as in degrees to use trigonometry. You have it on RAD which is for calculating radians. There's nothing wrong with it though, luckily  smile
