Graphs Application

The Graphs application lets you:

• Graph and explore functions and other relations, such as inequalities, parametrics, polars, sequences, differential equation solutions, and conics.
• Animate points on objects or graphs and explore their behaviour.
• Link to data created by other applications.

Adding a Graphs Page

▶ To start a new document with a blank Graphs page:

From the main File menu, click New Document, and then click Add Graphs.

Handheld: Press c, and select Graphs .

▶ To add a Graphs page in the current problem of an existing document:

From the toolbar, click Insert > Graphs.

Handheld: Press ~ and select Insert > Graphs.

Graphs & Geometry menu. Contains tools for defining, viewing, and investigating relations.

Entry line. Lets you define the relations that you want to graph. The default graph type is Function, so the form f1(x)= is displayed initially. You can define multiple relations for each of several graph types.

Graphs Work Area

• Shows graphs of relations that you define on the entry line.
• Shows points, lines, and shapes that you create with geometry tools.
• Drag the area to pan (affects only those objects created in the Graphs application).
