Function aplet 3-11
Plotting a piecewise defined function example
Suppose you wanted to graph the following piecewise defined
function.
1. Open the Function aplet.
>$3/(7@ Select
Function
2. Highlight the line you want to use, and enter the
expression. (You can press >'(/@ to delete an existing
line, or >6+,)7@CLEAR to clear all lines.)
>@
>@ 2 >@ >j@
>@
>6+,)7@ CHARS ≤
>@ 1 >@>(17(5@
>[@
>j@>@
>6+,)7@
CHARS > >@1
>6+,)7@
AND
>6+,)7@CHARS ≤ 1 >@ >(17(5@
>@4 >@
>@>j@>@
>6+,)7@
CHARS > 1 >@>(17(5@
Note: You can use the
menu key to assist in the
entry of equations. It has
the same effect as
pressing >;75@.
