HP 9g Graphing manual Multi-statement functions, Built-in Function Graphs, User-generated Graphs

1.Position your cursor where you want the constant inserted.

2.Press [ 2nd ] [ CONST ] to display the physics constants menu.

3.Scroll through the menu until the constant you want is underlined.

4.Press []. (See Example 34.)

Multi-statement functions

Multi-statement functions are formed by connecting a number of individual statements for sequential execution. You can use multi-statements in manual calculations and in the program calculations.

When execution reaches the end of a statement that is followed by the display result command symbol (), execution stops and the result up to that point appears on the display. You can resume execution by pressing

[]. See Example 35.

Built-in Function Graphs

You can produce graphs of the following functions: sin, cos, tan, sin -1, cos -1,

tan -1, sinh, cosh, tanh, sinh -1, cosh -1, tanh -1,, , x 2 , x 3 , log, ln, 10 x, e x, x –1.

When you generate a built-in graph, any previously generated graph is cleared. The display range is automatically set to the optimum. See Example 36.

User-generated Graphs

You can also specify your own single-variable functions to graph (for example, y = x 3 + 3x 2 – 6x – 8). Unlike built-in functions (see above), you must set the display range when creating a user generated graph.

Press the [ Range ] key to access the range parameters for each axis: minimum value, maximum value, and scale (that is, the distance between the tick marks along an axis).
