Refer to the examples. d() can be used for calculating first and second order derivative at a point numerically, using auto differentiation methods. Order, if included, must be=1 or 2. The default is 1. Note: You can insert this function from the keyboard by typing derivative(...). Note: See also First derivative, here or Second derivative, here.
Note: The d() algorithm has a limitation: it works recursively through the unsimplified expression, computing the numeric value of the first derivative (and second, if applicable) and the evaluation of each subexpression, which may lead to an unexpected result. Consider the example on the right. The first derivative of x•(x^2+x)^(1/3) at x=0 is equal to 0. However, because the first derivative of the subexpression (x^2+x)^(1/3) is undefined at x=0, and this value is used to calculate the derivative of the total expression, d() reports the result as undefined and displays a warning message. If you encounter this limitation, verify the solution graphically. You can also try using centralDiff().

10^()	Catalog >
10^ (Value1) ⇒ value 10^ (List1) ⇒ list Returns 10 raised to the power of the argument. For a list, returns 10 raised to the power of the elements in List1.
10^(squareMatrix1) ⇒ squareMatrix Returns 10 raised to the power of squareMatrix1. This is not the same as calculating 10 raised to the power of each element. For information about the calculation method, refer to cos(). squareMatrix1 must be diagonalizable. The result always contains floating-point numbers.

Returns 10 raised to the power of the argument.

For a list, returns 10 raised to the power of the elements in List1.

10^(squareMatrix1) ⇒ squareMatrix

Returns 10 raised to the power of squareMatrix1. This is not the same as calculating 10 raised to the power of each element. For information about the calculation method, refer to cos().

squareMatrix1 must be diagonalizable. The result always contains floating-point numbers.

| (constraint operator)

/k keys

Expr | BooleanExpr1[and BooleanExpr2]...

Expr | BooleanExpr1[ orBooleanExpr2]...

The constraint (“|”) symbol serves as a binary operator. The operand to the left of | is an expression. The operand to the right of | specifies one or more relations that are intended to affect the simplification of the expression. Multiple relations after | must be joined by logical “and” or “or” operators.

The constraint operator provides three basic types of functionality:

•

Substitutions

•

Interval constraints

•

Exclusions

Substitutions are in the form of an equality, such as x=3 or y=sin(x). To be most effective, the left side should be a simple variable. Expr | Variable = value will substitute value for every occurrence of Variable in Expr.

Interval constraints take the form of one or more inequalities joined by logical “and” or “or” operators. Interval constraints also permit simplification that otherwise might be invalid or not computable.

Exclusions use the “not equals” (/= or ≠) relational operator to exclude a specific value from consideration.

→ (store)

/h key

Value → Var

List → Var

Matrix → Var

Expr → Function(Param1,...)

List → Function(Param1,...)

Matrix → Function(Param1,...)

If the variable Var does not exist, creates it and initializes it to Value, List, or Matrix.

If the variable Var already exists and is not locked or protected, replaces its contents with Value, List, or Matrix.

Note: You can insert this operator from the keyboard by typing =: as a shortcut. For example, type pi/4 =: myvar.

:= (assign)

/t keys

Var := Value

Var := List

Var := Matrix

Function(Param1,...) := Expr

Function(Param1,...) := List

Function(Param1,...) := Matrix

If variable Var does not exist, creates Var and initializes it to Value, List, or Matrix.

If Var already exists and is not locked or protected, replaces its contents with Value, List, or Matrix.
