Using the Action Menu

urangeAppoint

Function: Finds an expression or value that satisfies a condition in a specified range.

Syntax: rangeAppoint (Exp/Eq/List, start value, end value [ ) ]

When using an equation (Eq) for the first argument, input the equation using the syntax Var = Exp. Evaluation will not be possible if any other syntax is used.

Example: To find the expression(s) in the list {x = π, x = 2π, x = 3π} that belong(s) to the closed range 0 < x < 5

Menu Item: [Action][Calculation] [rangeAppoint]

Example: To find the “n” that satisfies the condition 0 < n ⋅ π < 5

Menu Item: [Action][Calculation][rangeAppoint]

umod

Function: Returns the remainder when one expression is divided by another expression.

Syntax: mod ({Exp/List} -1, {Exp/List} -2 [ ) ]

Example: To determine the remainder when 26 is divided by 3 (26mod3)

Menu Item: [Action][Calculation][mod]

utanLine

Function: Returns the right side of the equation for the tangent line (y = ‘expression’) to the curve at the specified point.

Syntax: tanLine (Exp/List, variable, variable value at point of tangency [ ) ]

Example: To determine the function of the line tangent to y = x3 at x = 2

Menu Item: [Action][Calculation][tanLine]

unormal

Function: Returns the right side of the equation for the line normal (y = ‘expression’) to the curve at the specified point.

Syntax: normal (Exp/List, variable, variable value at point of normal [ ) ]

Example: To determine the function of the line normal to y = x3 at x = 2

Menu Item: [Action][Calculation][normal]

uarcLen

Function: Returns the arc length of an expression from a start value to an end value with respect to a specified variable.

Syntax: arcLen (Exp/List, variable, start value, end value [ ) ]

3

Example: To determine the arc length for y = x 2 from x = 0 to x = 4
