Introduction Our goal in this manual is to show you what you need to know to obtain the screens in the text and to do the Explorations, not to make you an expert in using graphing calculators. We want you spending your time and energy learning calculus, rather than learning how to use your graphing calculator! We believe you will discover that very little effort is needed to perform quite remarkable tasks on the graphing calculators.
Section 1.0 in Text • The Viewing Window • The Standard Viewing Window • TRACE • Dimensions of the Viewing Window • Scale Marks • ZOOM • Deleting a Function To enter Y 2, press the keys • The Step Size X,T,θ...
Change the Dimensions of the Viewing Window Graph y = x 2 using a window with di- mensions [ 5, 14] by [ 2500, 1000]. (This is the second part of Example 1 in the text). Solution. Press the WINDOW key and you see The TRACE Feature Find points on the graph of the previous example.
point. So take a screen with dimensions [ 10, 10] by [0, 20] and obtain the following (Screen 1.3 in the text). Now press the GRAPH key. You now see the fol- lowing (Screen 1.2 in the text). Using the ZOOM Feature ZOOM about the point (0, 10) in the last screen.
Now press the 5 key. The other inequality symbols Section 1.1 in Text are entered in a similar manner. Thus, to graph the • Piecewise Defined Functions and Dot Mode given function press the Y = key and type the follow- ing: •...
Section 1.2 in Text • The root Operation • The intersect Operation The root Operation Find where the function y1 = 0.95x 300, 000 is zero. Refer to Example 2 and Exploration 1 in the text. Solution. First graph y1 using a screen with dimen- sions [0, 400000] by [ 300000, 100000].
You are asked for an Upper bound. This means place Now press the keys 2nd CALC 5 and obtain the the cursor to the right of the zero. Press the key following. ENTER and obtain the following. The blinking cursor is on one of the curves and you are You are asked for a guess.
Now you are asked for a guess. Move the blinking cur- Place the blinking cursor over On and press ENTER . sor to a point near the intersection and press the key Make sure the other items are highlighted as shown in the previous screen.
Sections 2.2-2.7 in Text To obtain the best fitting quadratic follow all the in- structions found in STAT above except select QuadReg. That is, press the keys STAT £ 6 . Section 3.1 in Text • The TABLE Operation • The value Operation •...
At the bottom you see x =. Type 2.1 and press the .01 and press the ENTER key. You then see ENTER key. Then 2.1 appears on the first row under the x-column and 7.3 appears under the Y -column. x = .01 Y = .95499259 Repeat by inputting 2.01, 2.001, 1.999, 1.99, and 1.9.
Solution. Input Y . Use a window with dimen- Using the EVAL Program sions [.8, 2] by [0, 4]. Execute the SEC program. Use the EVAL program to create a table of values for The program requests a value for x. Press the keys the function f (x) = x .
Section 5.2 in Text • nDer2 • NDER2G nDer2 nDer2 gives a numerical second derivative. Find nDer2f (1) if f (x) = x Solution. To find nDer2f (1), input Y and ex- ecute the program NDER2. The program asks for c. Input 1 and press the ENTER key.
RECT. Use the program SUM to find the left and right- hand sums for dx when n = 50. Solution. First input Y . Execute the program SUM. A lower limit (of integration) is requested. Press the 0 key and the ENTER key. An upper limit (of integration) is requested.
The answer is 15. Section 7.3 in Text • The Program TRAP • The Program SIMP The Programs TRAP and SIMP Use the programs TRAP and SIMP to find the trapezoidal and Simpson approximation for dx = π for n = 100, 200, 400. Compare Press the GRAPH key and the graph will appear.
unfolds note carefully the y-coordinates. You obtain Screen 9.1. Repeat, if needed, and use T = .03 to step speed up the graphing. Section 10.3 in Text Reproduce Screen 10.12 Solution. Set your calculator on parametric and dot mode. Set x = t, y = (2t + 1)/t.

by executing RAND2. Follow the same procedure as for RAND. The program RAND2 pauses after displaying the number of heads and the relative frequency and also after displaying the graph. You must press the key ENTER for the program to continue. Histograms Reproduce the histogram in the following figure (Figure 11.1 in the text).
