Using the TI-15 Explorer™
• Locate the op1 key 
• This key operates like a function machine.
• To simulate a function machine that doubles
the numbers press  x2 .
• Enter 5 into your calculator press  .
The display should show 10.
Using the TI-15 Explorer™ 2
• Use the  key to create your own function
machine questions.
• Write your questions on the single function
machine worksheet.
• Remember to keep a copy of your
questions and answers.
• Give a copy of your question sheet to a
partner to solve.
Reverse Function Machine
What happens if the function machine is set in reverse?
1, 2, 3, 4 ….

Linking Forward and Reverse
• What do you notice happens to the
operation when a function machine is set
in reverse?
• Explore your ideas using the  key on your
TI-15 Explorer™ calculator
Forward and Reverse
• + and – are inverse operations
If the function machine adds 2, then when it
is put in reverse it would subtract 2
• X and ÷ inverse operations
If the function machine multiplies by 10,
then when it is put in reverse it will
divide by 10
