For example:
1. Define

to draw the
function on the Graph
screen.
You cannot trace, zoom, or
perform a math operation on
a drawn function.
Execute
DrawInv
from the Home screen or a program. You cannot
draw an inverse function interactively from the Graph screen.

For example, use the graph of
y1(x)=.1x

The inverse is plotted as
(
y,x
) instead of (
x,y
).
Drawing a Function or Inverse on a Graph
For comparison purposes, you may want to draw a function
over your current graph. Typically, the drawn function is some
variation of the graph. You can also draw the inverse of a
function. (These operations are not available for 3D graphs.)
