Final answer:
To show asymptotes on a TI-84 Plus, enter your equation using the Y= button, then graph it. Asymptotes won't be directly shown, but can be inferred by examining the graph's behavior and adjusting the view with the WINDOW button if necessary.
Step-by-step explanation:
You asked how to show asymptotes on a TI-84 Plus calculator. The correct method is to first press the Y= button to enter your equation into the graph function. After entering your equation, you can use the GRAPH button to view the graph of your equation. Asymptotes will not be explicitly shown on the calculator but you can infer them by examining the behavior of the graph near the points where the function tends to infinity.
An asymptote is a line that the graph of a function approaches but never touches. Typically, showing an asymptote involves finding where the function is undefined, which is usually due to division by zero in rational functions.
To better see where the graph behaves like it is approaching an asymptote, you might want to adjust your viewing window by pressing the WINDOW button and setting appropriate values for Xmin, Xmax, Ymin, and Ymax. This won't show the asymptotes directly but will help you determine where they are by observing the graph's behavior.
