u To start a graph/curve trace
1. Draw a solution curve (pages 123 through 124) or function graph (page 127).
2. Tap = or [Analysis] - [Trace].
5-4 Graphing an Expression or Value by Dropping It into
the Differential Equation Graph Window
You can use the procedures in this section to graph an expression or value by dragging it from the eActivity
application window or the Main application window, and dropping it into the Differential Equation Graph window.
To draw this type of graph:
Slope field
Solution curve(s) of a 1st-
order differential equation
Solution curve(s) of an
order differential equation
f
(
x
) type function graph

To drag the 1st-order differential equation
the eActivity application window to the Differential Equation Graph window, and graph the applicable
slope field and solution curve

To drag the

[0, 2, 0]] from the eActivity application window to the Differential Equation Graph window, and graph the
applicable solution curves

• Note that the Slope field should already be graphed on the Differential
Equation Graph window before the matrix is dropped in. If it isn't, dropping
in the matrix will simply plot points at the coordinates indicated by each (
y
) pair.
• Regardless of whether or not the Slope field is already graphed, values
in the dropped in matrix will be registered to the [IC] tab of the Differential
Equation Editor.
