Chapter 3:
Graph & Table Application
The Graph & Table application allows you to input and graph rectangular coordinate equations (or inequalities),
polar coordinate equations, and parametric expressions. After you graph an expression, you can perform
various graph-based analytical operations, such as determining the points of intersection of two graphs, point of
inflection, and definite integral for a particular range of a parabola or other figure.
When you start up the Graph & Table application, two windows appear
on the display: 1 the Graph Editor window and 2 the Graph window.
• A Graph Editor sheet can contain up to 20 functions. You can have up
to 100 functions stored in the Graph Editor at one time. Functions stored
in the Graph Editor can be graphed on the Graph window.
• You can also use a function on the Graph Editor window to generate a
number table or a summary table. Number tables and summary tables
are displayed in a Table window.
• The Graph window and Table window have a message box along the
bottom that can display expressions and values, or they can be used for
input and editing.
