A graphing calculator is a scientific calculator that is capable of graphing mathematical expressions, such as, functions in the Cartesian or polar coordinate systems.
In addition to functions, this graphing calculator is capable of graphing equations (including implicitly defined functions), parametric equations and point sets in the Cartesian or polar coordinate systems.
Syntax by Examples
- f(x) = x^2sin(x) + 2x + 1 (function)
- x^3-xy+2y^2 = 5x+2y+5 (equation)
- p(t) = [sin(t), cos(t)] (parametric)
- 1,2; -2, 2/3; sin(π/3), 2^3-1 (points)
In particular, you can use this graphing calculator to graph conic sections (in the standard and the general form ax^2 + bxy + cy^2 - dx + ey - f = 0, which can be a circle, ellipse, parabola, hyperbola or some degenerated graphs) and also graph level curves, which are in the form F(x,y) = c.
Unlike other graphing software, this graphing calculator can also graph in non-perpendicular (or non-orthogonal) Cartesian coordinate systems, where axes need not be horizontal or vertical and can intersect at any angle.
Another unique and tremendously useful feature of this graphing calculator is that it can animate polar graphs of functions. In addition, it is capable of animating the graph of parametric equations in both the Cartesian and polar coordinate systems. This way the graphing calculator shows how these types of graphs are constructed progressively from a starting value to an ending value on their specified domain (interval).
Furthermore, this graphing calculator can be used to solve equations in order to find x-intercepts (zeros or roots) of a given function.
Moreover, you can use this derivative graphing calculator to calculate derivatives of the 1st and 2nd order of a given function or parametric expression and graph their derivatives.
Note: to calculate the higher order derivatives and also partial derivatives of multi-variable functions you can use the partial derivative calculator.
