The graphing capabilities of this calculator makes it possible to draw complex graphs
using either rectangular coordinates (horizontal axis: x ; vertical axis: y) or polar
coordinates (angle:
θ
; distance from origin: r).
All of the following graphing examples are performed starting from the calculator setup
in effect immediately following a reset operation.
Example
1: To graph Y = X(X + 1)(X – 2)
1. Press
m.
2. Use defc to highlight
GRAPH, and then press w.
3. Input the formula.
v(v+b)
(v-c)w
4. Press 6(DRAW) or w to draw the graph.
Example
2: To determine the roots of Y = X(X + 1)(X – 2)
1. Press !5(G-SLV).
