Using G-Solve to Analyze a Conics Graph

4-5 Using G-Solve to Analyze a Conics Graph

The G-Solve menu includes commands that let you perform a variety of different analytical processes on a graph drawn on the Conics Graph window.

Displaying the G-Solve Menu

While there is a graph on the Conics Graph window, tap [Analysis] and then [G-Solve]. You can then use the [G-Solve] menu that appears to perform one of the operations described below.

To obtain this:	Select this [G-Solve]
	menu item:
Focus of a parabola, ellipse, or hyperbola	Focus
Vertex of a parabola, ellipse, or hyperbola	Vertex
Directrix of a parabola	Directrix
Axis of symmetry of a parabola	Symmetry
Length of the latus rectum of a parabola	Latus Rectum Length
Center point of a circle, ellipse, or hyperbola	Center
Radius of a circle	Radius
Asymptotes of a hyperbola	Asymptotes
Eccentricity of a parabola, ellipse, or hyperbola	Eccentricity
x-intercept	x-Intercept
y-intercept	y-Intercept
x-coordinate for a given y-coordinate	x-Cal
y-coordinate for a given x-coordinate	y-Cal

Tip

•Some commands are available only for certain types of graphs. Any command that is not available for the graph currently displayed on the Conics Graph window has a line through it. A parabola, for example, does not have a center, radius or asymptotes, so there are lines through the [Center], [Radius], and [Asymptotes] commands of the [G-Solve] menu when there is a parabola on the Conics Graph window.
