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 70 Days given 2 hours of active
use per day

Graphs Geometry
TI-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 sides of the parabola and the
graph can be stretched or compressed vertically
and the equation will update in standard 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.

TI-Nspire Technology Version 1.6 Updates
Graphs Geometry

• 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.

TI-Nspire Technology Version 1.6 Updates
Graphs Geometry

• 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.
