Hi. I have come across an issue with my Ti-84 Plus CE.
I have made a program, that when run, finds the y-intercept/slope of two points given. When one of the points has an extravagant decimal place, this might run an issue. When the calculator calculates the y-intercept OR slope, it displays it with the Disp command. When there is a run-on of random numbers in the decimal place, though, it won't show all decimals; it will only show a select few(I haven't counted, but it's a decent amount: maybe 16??). This sparks a problem because if I have more decimal places that won't show, I can't be precise in my calculations. I have run the program backwards, (it finds the linear equation: y=mx+b) by taking an X from one of the points and putting it in the equation. If the y was 366, the non-full-showing decimals make it around 365.999999988.. etc.
In other words, my program won't show all the decimals in a number. The answer won't be precise. I need precise. If there is a fix for solving this issue so it shows ALL the decimals, Please tell me ASAP. I have tried to turn it into fractions, and sometimes they can't be turned into fractions. PLEASE HELP
