TRANSCRIPT
Each Line is a Function The function entry section of the Quick Entry screen allows for
multiple lines. Each line will be graphed as a separate function.
Points Of Interest FX Graph finds points of interest automatically. As you move the
mouse around, FX Graph will show you any points of interest near the cursor.
Right Click Menus 1 Many features are accessed by right-clicking on the graphs
A. Right-clicking at point A will open the Quick Entry screen - the one we have been using to enter our functions.
B. Right-clicking at point B will open the Scales screen which will allow you to set the scales you use for the function.
C. Right-clicking at point C will offer a right click menu (providing FX Graph has found the function and displayed it for you).
Cartesian / Inverse Cartesian Functions
FX Graph never needs to be "told" what type of graph to draw - it automatically determines the graph type by what you type. To draw a Cartesian function, just use x's – to draw Inverse Cartesian functions, use y’s.
3x2 + 2x - 4
y = 3x2 + 2x - 4
f(x) = 3x2 + 2x - 4
3x2 + 2x - 4 - y = 0
3y - 4/y
x = 2y2 + 3y - 4
f(y) = 3y + 4
Using the Function Entry System 1
The function has no y = but FX Graph will interpret it as a Cartesian function anyway.
We have not had to do anything to get FX Graph to interpret x2 as x squared. Most of the time, FX Graph will find powers automatically.
We have used the / sign to represent division. We have wrapped the numerator and
denominator of the fraction in brackets - not too tricky as most mathematicians realize that the fraction line is a de-facto bracket.
We have used sqrt to represent square roots. We could have used sr instead.
