eActivity Overview
6. Graph the expression using the Graph strip.
1. While the “Graph draw” Graph strip you created in step 5 is selected, press w.
• This will display a graph screen.
2. Press !6(G↔T) to display the Graph Editor screen.
3. In line Y1, input the function (y = 2x
2
+ x – 3) you want to graph.
4. Press 6(DRAW) to graph the function.
• This will display a graph screen. Since the graph intersects the x-axis at –1.5 and 1,
we can conclude that the solution (x = 1) obtained in step 4 is valid. The –1.5 value
was not included as a solution because we specified a lower limit of 0.
• The graph drawn here is stored in the strip we created in step 5.
5. To return to the eActivity workspace screen, press !a(
'
).
7. Use G-SLV to extract the roots on the graph screen.
1. Select the Graph strip we created in step 5, and then press w.
• This will display the graph screen and draw the graph we drew in step 6.
2. Use G-SLV to extract the roots of y = 2x
2
+ x – 3.
!5(G-SLV) 1(ROOT) .. (Extracts first root.)
e ......................................... (Extracts next root.)
• For details about using G-SLV, see page 5-11-9.
3. To return to the eActivity workspace screen, press !a(

).
8. Save the eActivity file.
•Press 1(FILE)1(SAVE) to save the file. This will save the file you are editing by
replacing the currently stored version (if any).
