Simultaneously Modifying Multiple Graphs by Changing Common
Variables (Dynamic Modify)
Use the procedure below to change the values of up to two common variables used in
multiple functions to simultaneously modify the graphs.
u
To modify multiple graphs simultaneously
Example: To graph the functions
y
= a
x
2
–
b
and
y
= a
x
+
b
, and then find out how a change
in variable
a
from 1 to 4 and a change in variable
b
from –2 to 2 affect the shape
and position of each graph

Step: 1
Specifies a variable whose value is changed when you press the left
or right cursor key, or tap the left or right graph controller arrow.
These items specify the upper limit (End) and lower limit (Start) of
the range of change of the Dynamic ]' value.
Use this setting to specify the increment of change in the Dynamic
]' value when you press the left or right cursor key, or tap the left
or right graph controller arrow.
Specifies another variable whose value is changed when you press
the up or down cursor key, or tap the up or down graph controller
arrow.
These items specify the upper limit (End) and lower limit (Start) of
the range of change of the Dynamic `$ value.
Use this setting to specify the increment of change in the Dynamic
`$ value when you press the up or down cursor key, or tap the up
or down graph controller arrow.
