Press b51 to choose the Graph Trace opon.
Press ¡ and ¢ to trace along the graph and see the coordinates
of current points in the lower right corner. For intricate
funcons progress can be slow along the curve but you
can change the Trace Sengs to increase the Trace Step:
press b53 and try a step of 0.5 or 1. To start tracing at
an integer value of x, in Graph Trace mode simply type the
integer and press ·.
Press £ or ¤ to move to the other graph. To trace through all
the visible funcons at once use  b52. Noce
that signicant points such as maxima, minima and zeros are
automacally idened.
To stop tracing you need to press d. Check to see that the

Here is the way to mark points of intersecon of two lines.
Press b73 to choose the Intersecon Point(s) opon.
Noce the icon has appeared in the top le corner.
Move the cursor to the graph of f1(x). With the graph
highlighted click x.
Move to the graph of f2(x). With the graph highlighted
click x.
Noce that the Intersecon Points icon is sll visible so you
can go on to mark more intersecons. For example you could
try marking where the two graphs cross the y-axis.
Now press d.
