Function Analysis

Example

Graph the two functions shown below, and determine the point of

 

intersection between Y1 and Y2.

 

Y1 = x + 1, Y2 = x2

 

 

Use the following V-Window settings.

 

Xmin = –5,

Xmax = 5,

Xscale = 1

 

Ymin = –5,

Ymax = 5,

Yscale = 1

#In the case of two graphs, the point of intersection is calculated immediately after you press !55 in step 2.

#You can calculate the point of intersection for rectangular coordinate graphs and inequality graphs only.

#Either of the following can cause poor accuracy or even make it impossible to obtain solutions.
