HP 50g manual Plotting an expression of the form y = fx, = 1 exp− x

Plotting an expression of the form y = f(x)

As an example, let's plot the function,

f (x) = 1 exp(− x 2 )

2π 2

•First, enter the PLOT SETUP environment by pressing, „ô. Make sure that the option Function is selected as the TYPE, and that ‘X’ is selected as the independent variable (INDEP). Press L@@@OK@@@ to return to normal calculator display. The PLOT SET UP window should look similar to this:

•Enter the PLOT environment by pressing „ñ(press them simultaneously if in RPN mode). Press @ADD to get you into the equation writer. You will be prompted to fill the right-hand side of an equation Y1(x) = ￿. Type the function to be plotted so that the Equation Writer shows the following:
