Using G-Solve to Analyze a Conics Graph
4-5 Using G-Solve to Analyze a Conics Graph
The G-Solve menu includes commands that let you perform a variety of different analytical
processes on a graph drawn on the Conics Graph window.
Displaying the G-Solve Menu
While there is a graph on the Conics Graph window, tap [Analysis] and then [G-Solve]. You
can then use the [G-Solve] menu that appears to perform one of the operations described
below.
Tip
Some commands are available only for certain types of graphs. Any command that is not
available for the graph currently displayed on the Conics Graph window has a line through it. A
parabola, for example, does not have a center, radius or asymptotes, so there are lines through
the [Center], [Radius], and [Asymptotes] commands of the [G-Solve] menu when there is a
parabola on the Conics Graph window.
Focus of a parabola, ellipse, or hyperbola
Vertex of a parabola, ellipse, or hyperbola
