144x - 12x²

12x(12-x)

I totally forgot about the product rule for derivatives.
Actually you did it exactly like how I did it

Voyager/92 are considered computers because of the qwerty

I think the speed/memory of the calc goes something like:

89 titanium>92+>89-HW2>92>89-HW1>voyager

been a while but I think thats the order
Yeah you could be right, I only chose TI-92+ for the qwerty -- no more catalog searching for functions

Plus i got it on egay for $45
