Graphing
A collection of versatile graphing tools plus a large 79 × 47-dot
display makes it easy to draw a variety of function graphs quickly
and easily. This calculator is capable of drawing the following types
of graphs.
• Rectangular coordinate (Y =) graphs
• Parametric graphs
• Inequality graphs
• A selection of graph commands also makes it possible to incorpo-
rate graphing into programs.
