Graph Tools on the TI-86
Chapter 5 describes how to use the GRAPH menu items y(x)= , WIND , GRAPH , and FORMT to
define and display the graph of a function in Func graphing mode. This chapter describes how
to use the other GRAPH menu items to apply preset graph screen dimensions, explore the
graph and trace specific functions, perform mathematical analyses, draw on graphs, and store
and recall graphs and drawings. You can use most graph tools in all four graphing modes.
The GRAPH Menu 6
y(x)= WIND ZOOM TRACE GRAPH 4 MATH DRAW FORMT STGDB RCGDB
4 EVAL STPIC RCPIC
ZOOM Displays the GRAPH ZOOM menu; use these items to apply preset graph screen dimensions
TRACE Activates the trace cursor; use this cursor to trace along graphs of specific functions
MATH Displays the GRAPH MATH menu; use this menu to explore graphs mathematically
DRAW Displays the GRAPH DRAW menu; use this menu to draw on graphs
STGDB Displays the Name= prompt and GDB menu; use this prompt to enter a GDB variable
RCGDB Displays the Name= prompt and GDB menu; use this menu to recall a GDB variable
EVAL Displays the Eval x= prompt; use this prompt to enter an x value for which you want to
solve the current function
STPIC Displays the Name= prompt and PIC menu; use this prompt to enter a PIC variable
RCPIC Displays the Name= prompt and PIC menu; use this menu to recall PIC variable
This is the GRAPH menu in
Func
graphing mode. The
GRAPH menu differs slightly
from graphing mode to
graphing mode.
