Re: Best graphing calculator?
It is a good calculator, I have used theTI-85 and the TI-92. HP makes a good calculator but they are horribly overpriced inasmuch if you have a laptop you can get much more computing power, better graphics, much more speed etc by loading it with a CAS like Sage, geogebra, Maxima. Mathematica and Maple have student editions for Windows or Linux that will be about that price and will be far superior.
If you are absolutely stuck with the calculator option ( do not want to carry the laptop ) then you will be satisfied with it.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

Do you have a smartphone? Just install the Geogebra app, that should be all.

The laptop will be much faster.

hi Linda90
Welcome to the forum.
I haven't used that particular model but I've always preferred the TI's to any other make. Texas have a lot of backup help for students.
