Exploring the Graph
From the Graph screen, you can:
• Trace the equation.
•Use the „ Zoom toolbar menu to zoom in or out on a portion of the graph. Some of
the menu items are dimmed because they are not available for 3D graphs.
•Use the ‡ Math toolbar menu to evaluate the equation at a specified point. Only
1:Value is available for 3D graphs.
You can also evaluate z(x,y) while tracing. Type the x value and press ¸; then type
the y value and press ¸.
5. Change the graph format if necessary.
