(1)On the application menu, tap T.

(2)In line y1 of the Graph Editor window, input and save y = 3x2 – 2.

(3)Tap 8. This displays the Table Input dialog box.

(4)Input the following values for the x-values of your table, and then tap [OK].

(5)Tap #.

• This generates the number table and displays the result on the Table window.

• The derivative is also included in the number table when the Graph Format “Derivative/ Slope” check box is selected.

•The above operation is possible only when “Table Input” (which is the initial default) is selected for the Basic Format dialog box [Table Variable] item.

•You can specify the width of table cells using the [Cell Width Pattern] on the Basic Format dialog box (page 14-3-3).
