Change graph mode setting

Select the Mode Settings icon , or press the j key.

You can change among Function, Parametric, Polar, and Sequence modes.

Graphing modes define the graphing parameters.

The graph icon changes depending on the Graph Type Mode Setting.

 FUNCTION: graphing mode plots functions, where Y is a function of X.

 PARAMETRIC: graphing mode plots relations, where X and Y are functions of T.

 POLAR: graphing mode plots functions, where r is a function of θ.

 SEQ: (SEQUENCE) graphing mode plots sequences. Three sequences are available: u, v, and w, with an option of the independent variables of n, n+1, and n+2.

Change to Graph Table view (split screen)

When a function is entered in the Y= editor, you can view a table of values by pressing a Ä.

Note: The table setup, a Ä, determines how table values are displayed. Check the table setup values if the table results are not in expected format of fraction. Using a mix of decimal and fractions will not retain fractions.

Change to Horizontal View (horizontal split screen)

In horizontal mode, the bottom zone can be the Function Editor, List Editor, the table, or the calculator. The top area is always the graph screen. Change the bottom view by selecting the desired application using the icons on the home screen or the appropriate key.
