Log to the Base (a) on TI-89 | Every Step Calculus Video

Raw Transcript

This is the video on log to the base whatever and it’s pretty easy if you’re always into it but it’s complicated if you look at it each each time and say what the heck’s going on there. So it’s best to have it programmed and just forget it put the stuff in and forget it. Um, turn the calculator on here, I’m gonna get out of this program here by pressing ON,
ESCAPE and HOME and I’m gonna clear the entry line there. And I want to clear the screen up here too so I’ll press F1, 8 on that Get used to those they are always necessary and all very useful, you have to enter index eight in here to get the main menu so I’ll press second alpha second here Alpha makes it dark show your showing your entering letters i_n_d_e_x and then you have to go Alpha again to get in numbers again in parentheses and other functions for numbers, ok so you press Enter and your into my menu. This one’s on logs, were going to scroll up here… many things go to get quotient rule quadratic formula whatever you need in here limits, path of an object, that’s a beautiful program shows you everything possible, I give you a sheet that shows you the whole outline what’s on the calculator so you can really look at it on one 8×10 sheet see exactly what youre going after here such a small screen on the titanium anyways we’re gonna go.. it’s all alphabetical. So we got natural log here and we got log of x you know log of base a different base we’re going to scroll down to there there’s a number before it or letter, there’s numbers up here there’s letters here if you want to go to if you want to do a quick and you knew the letter you can just pull Alpha find the letter on here and you would go to that that particular program and so we’re gonna go log problems here and we have to put in logs and again we have to go second and Alpha notice there’s no darkness here so we’re not doing it yet. We’re not into the letters now we are and we need to push, put it in l_o_g and then we need to put the base in there so lets go to base 8 and then we have to go. I have parentheses so that we’re going to put in we’re gonna solve for 5 times x minus one and closed parentheses and we have to make it equal, if you didn’t put any didn’t make any mistakes up here for instance let’s try to enter it now with um.. it says must be an equation with an equal sign so then it goes back now to the program and then you can um you can Press the right cursor here goes to the right side of the program you can put the equal sign in there notice it didn’t put the equal sign in so I have to press Alpha again and then the equal sign, keep track of that and let’s say it equals to 3 okay then press Enter here, notice here we have the log of 8 f of x which equals three and we say that’s what we entered, cool give you the choice of finding x or the exponential form if you went to the exponential form right now it wouldn’t find it because of x and it tells you that you you can’t you must solve for x first so were gonna solve for x here first or sometimes in tests that’s to only thing your doing here’s the answer…8 to the radical 3 equals the inside 5x-1 5x minus 1, equals 512, x equals 513 over 5, that’s the correct answer if you want to get an approximate answer you divide 5 into 513 but this is the exact answer pretty neat huh? Go to my website EveryStepCaluclus.com. Enjoy my programs.

You are an angel sent from above TOM!!! Thank you so much for being patient with me. I got the programs to work and I am very confident I am going to pass this class once and for all. The Double and Triple Integrals programs are a life saver! Thank You Thank You Thank You!

-Cotto

Tom-    I showed my ex, who is a calculus professor, and he was waaaaaaay impressed. And he is an arrogant ass, who never helped me ever...I could tell he wanted to hate on it, but he couldnt.

Tom...I think that I’m finally done with Calculus II. In the prior test I got 78 and yesterday I finished all the problem on the test. I think I should be able to remain around the same grade. Thank you so much for your help; your programs really made the difference. They didn’t just solve the problems for you, in my case, they gave me the confidence and security I had lost with those stupid professors and the way they teach. To be honest, studying the programs on my calculator taught  me how to solve problems that I couldn’t do before due to the way they were presented. I felt confident and secure yesterday, and it only possible because either I remember  how to do the problems or the calculator would. Thanks one more time for time, dedication and quick responses. There is no other person in the whole world that would do what you do for us , college students being  killed  with freaking calculus classes.      John

Tom-     Got it to work with that link you sent me!  Just wanted to say thanks for all the great work you do, and for helping me pass this calculus class.  I'm going to tell everyone about this and make them pay the $30 dollars because you have done a splendid job programming my friend.  Let me know if you have any new programs for derivatives or integrals and Ill let you know if I need any more help!  Much thanks,                -Eric

I basically just needed to say that you're an amazing man. Basically saved my life during my emag theory course    

-DoubtingThomas  (Youtube vectors review here)

oh my god I figured it out. You're the freaking best!      -Sarah

Thanks Tom. I appreciate you taking the time to break down and explain these to me. :0)     -Nelson

 Tommy,     Great talking with you last night. I already liked you for developing this “most excellent program” but after our conversation I concluded you to be a great guy. I’ve been playing with this program most of the night, took in a few “z’s” and am back for more. This program really is superb. I did, however, notice that for some unknown reason when I attempt to do Relative Extrema’s and Trajectories that both programs came up as “Program not Found”. I’m not sure if I will be encountering the Trajectory stuff in this semester of Calculus but I do have a test this Thursday that includes Relative Extrema. Any suggestion, oh Master of this great creation?! I’m going to be gone most the day but should be home late afternoon if you got time to call. Same number (843-xxx-xxxx). That’s Myrtle Beach, 3 hours ahead of you and more golf courses than you can shake a stick at. Thanks    -Joe

Wow! Awesome! These are great, so great, thank you!            -Kristen

Tom is the man! His program is helping me pass my calculus class. He was willing to help me immediately when I couldn't get one of the programs working! This application is in my opinion a STEAL! I've never met Tom in person but I'll owe passing this class to every step calculus.
