I was trying to graph this equation, but it seems that on the TI-83, none of the graphing modes can support this. How would I go about this?

PS: I wasn't sure whether-or-not to put this on Math.Stackexchange, or to put it here. If it should go under Math.stackexchange, please let me know.

If you're just trying to graph the equation, use something like Desmos or Wolfram|Alpha. These sort of general-purpose tools are much more powerful than graphing calculators, and can graph almost anything you can think of, including implicit equations.

If you want to graph on the TI-83+ specifically, you'll need to do some easy math:

x² + (y-x^(2/3))² = 1

(y - x^(2/3))² = 1 - x²

y - x^(2/3) = ±√(1 - x²)

y = x^(2/3) ± √(1 - x²)

Now you have Y in terms of X. The TI-83+ series doesn't have a ± sign, though, so you'll need to graph the two equations as a list. Type this in in Y= mode:

X^(2/3)+{1,-1}√(1-X²)
