Suppose you want to have a good graphical understanding of the function:
\[ f(x) = \frac{x^4 - x^2 + x - 1}{x^5 - 3x}. \]
f1(x)=
. Then, press
Tip 1: Make sure only the functions you are using are displayed. To deactivate/activate a function’s display,
select , go to the function you want to activate/deactivate,
and check/uncheck the square.
Xmin
, Xmax
, Ymin
, and
Ymax
. Choose an XScale
approximately twenty times smaller than the gap between Xmin
and
Xmax
. Usually, we set XScale
to powers of 10.
Ymin
and Ymax
to be slightly beyond the range of your desired y
-values.
If you do not know which y
-values to choose, press
f1(x)=
and f2(x)=
.
f3(x)=f1(x)+f2(x)
. Uncheck f1(x)
and f2(x)
. Press
The same procedure can be used for subtraction, multiplication, or division of two functions.
