dxDer1
† mode screen
dxDer1
Sets der1 as the current differentiation type. der1
differentiates exactly and calculates the value for each
function in an expression. It is more accurate than
dxNDer , but more restrictive in that only certain
functions are valid in the expression.
The current differentiation type is used by the
arc( and TanLn( functions, as well as
interactive graphing operations dy/dx , dr/d q ,
dy/dt , dx/dt , ARC , TanLn , and INFLC .
dxNDer
† mode screen
dxNDer
Sets nDer as the current differentiation type. nDer
differentiates numerically and calculates the value for
an expression. It is less accurate than
dxDer1 , but less
restrictive in the functions that are valid in the
expression.
The current differentiation type is used by the
arc( and TanLn( functions, as well as
interactive graphing operations dy/dx , dr/d q ,
dy/dt , dx/dt , ARC , TanLn , and INFLC .
e^
- ‚
e^ power or e^( expression )
Returns e raised to power or expression. The argument
can be real or complex.
