This specifies point D (the one you selected in step 13) as the “trace point”.

15.Perform the following operation: 6(Animate) – 5:Go (once).

This should cause a parabola to be traced on the display. Note that line segment AB is the directrix and point C is the focus of the parabola.

Note

All of the points that are currently selected on the screen become trace points when you perform the following operation: 6(Animate) – 3:Trace. This operation also cancels Trace for any point that is currently configured as a trace point.

The calculator’s auto power off feature will turn off power if an animation is being performed. If calculator power is turned off (either by auto power off or manually) while an animation is being performed, the animation will be stopped.
