Calculator Tricks for AP Calculus

In this video, I show some calculator tricks for AP Calculus. I am using the TI-84 Plus CE calculator to demonstrate these various tricks for AP Calculus.
The tricks that I show in this video are timestamped below:
0:00 - 0:23 - Resetting the calculator
0:23 - 1:00 - Typing in fractions
1:00 - 2:08 - Making a custom table with rational/irrational x values
2:08 - 3:15 - Adjusting the xmin/xmax and ymin/ymax
3:15 - 4:47 - VARS function shortcut
4:47 - 5:36 - Derivative as a function of x
5:36 - 6:17 - Making graph invisible without deleting function
6:17 - 6:42 - Derivative at a point
6:42 - 8:08 - Evaluating definite integrals (two ways)
8:08 - 8:50 - Zoom box for better graphs
8:50 - 10:25 - Storing points of intersection
10:25 - 11:19 - Finding the area between two curves
Write any tricks that I missed in the COMMENT section below. Also, write any questions or topics you would like me to cover in the COMMENT section below.

    If you press alpha and then trace, you can also get to the functions (Y1, Y2, Y3, etc.) instead of going through vars.

    you can do the fraction trick on the ti-84 plus ce much quicker just by hitting ‘alpha’ then the ‘X, T, *theta*, n’ button

    if you press zoom and then 0, your calculator will automatically fit the window to the table values of your current function

    Hey! Does anyone know how I can "unstore" (sto command) the letters... meaning how do I revert it back to letters A,B,C.. etc. Just wondering if there is an easier way rather then resetting the ram on the calculator. :)

    iirc, the default value for x is already a number (either 0 or 1). There’s no resetting needed

    You can put that equation in the “y = “ thing then go back to Home Screen and in a fraction, type (y1(12)-y2(10))/(12-10), giving you the answer of -88

    This video is a misleading trap into leading desperate students into a way to cheat through their exams. Your procedures, which surely only work on your specific Ti-xx, are also completely useless. Uses of the calculator are and have been known for years, per their documentation. Stop this misinformation of there being some sort of shortcut to making algebraic calculus work in this calculator; it can’t be done when tests are based off of exact algebraic values. Shame on you.

    The TI-84 is one of the most common graphing calculators that people use I don't get why you act like this is some niche calculator that no one uses. And I also don't get what you are saying I've been studying calculus for a few years now and a calculator has always been useful tool for me and I'm sure for countless other people too. Just because an exam uses exact algebraic values doesn't mean a calculator can't be useful. You have no idea what you are talking about.
