Even then, it is typically not a symbolic calculator so if your answer is a closed form function of variables, you're SOL with a TI-84.

Maybe we went to radically different schools but I certainly had to calculate by hand using the quadratic formula countless times where calculators were not allowed to be used.
Anyway it distracts from the point so it's not relevant.
