Trig Explorer App - HP Prime Graphing Calculator Quick Start Manual

Test view is like equation mode in that you use the change keys to select and change the value of each parameter in the equation.
The goal is to try to match the graph that is shown.
The menu items in test view are:
• : within each level of equation (see

Trig Explorer App

The Trig Explorer app enables you to explore the behavior of the sinusoidal equations y = a . sin(bx + c) + d and y = a . cos(bx + c)
+ d as the values of a, b, c, and d change. You can change the equation and note the change in the graph, or change the graph
and note the change in the equation. A graph can be changed using the cursor keys. It can also be translated by tapping on it
and then dragging it. To open the Trig Explorer app, press
