Graphing Functions

1. In the Graphing view, tap Tools  and go to Graph Entry/Edit > Function.

2. Type an expression for the function.

3. Tap ENTER to graph the function.

Manipulating a Function by Dragging

 

Linear Function

To translate, grab near the middle of the graph, and then drag.
To rotate, grab near the ends of the graph, and then drag.

Quadratic Function

To translate, grab near the vertex of the graph, and then drag.
To stretch, grab away from the vertex of the graph, and then drag.

Sine or Cosine Function

To translate, grab near the axis of vertical symmetry of the graph, and then drag.
To stretch, grab away from the axis of vertical symmetry of the graph, and then drag.
Finding Points of Interest on a Function Graph

 

Create a point on the graph, and then drag the point to quickly identify maximums, minimums, and zeros.

Temporary signposts appear as you drag through the points of interest.

For other points of interest, tap Tools , select Analyze Graph, and select the type of analysis, such as Integral. The application prompts you to choose a graph and define the boundaries.
