3-8 Analyzing a Function Used to Draw a Graph

Your ClassPad includes a G-Solve feature that lets you perform a variety of different analytical processes on an existing graph.

G-Solve Menu Overview

To access the [G-Solve] menu, tap [Analysis] and then [G-Solve]. The following describes the commands that are available on the [G-Solve] menu.

To obtain this for the graph:

Select this G-Solve menu command:

Root (the x-intercept)

Root

Maximum value

Max

Minimum value

Min

Maximum value in the range displayed on the

f Max

Graph window

 

 

Minimum value in the range displayed on the

f Min

Graph window

 

 

 

y-intercept

y-Intercept

Point of intersection for two graphs

Intersect

y-coordinate for a given x-coordinate

y-Cal

x-coordinate for a given y-coordinate

x-Cal

Definite integral for a particular range

∫ dx

Point of inflection

Inflection

Distance between two points

Distance

Volume of a solid of revolution

π ∫ ( f(x))2dx

Tip

•See page α-9-1 of the Appendix for information about graph types and executable G-Solve functions.
