Chapter 6: Advanced Graphing Features — Advanced Keyboard

The calculator can accept up to three sequential equation entries. We will use the v set, since the u set already has an entry. Move the cursor down to the v(n) entry area, and press

C.

4.Enter 2 ⋅ 0.9n-1, then press

E.

The cursor will be set to the fourth entry row v(nMin=).

5.Press C, then enter 1.

6.Press the Gkey to draw the graph, then zoom the graph so that it be comes visible (Z, 1 Auto).

7.Use the Ufunction to

trace the graph. Press the 'key to trace the plotted graph values.

When w, the third sequential equation set is entered, it can also be compared with the two other equations; simply set the TYPE under the FORMAT menu to either 4 uw to compare the first set with the third, or 5 vw to compare the second and the third.

Note: Comparing a sequence with an empty set will result in an error. If the v set is to be used, then the equation entry rows will need to have appropriate entries.

Example 3: n-1-based Graphing (Web)

• Compare the u(n–1)value against the u(n) value of u(n-1) + 100.

This particular graph equation requires an index to the previous term (un-1).

1.Press @fto enter the FORMAT menu, then press Gto select G TYPE.

2.Select 1 Web by pressing
