fMax()

MATH/Calculus menu

fMax(

expression, var

)

Boolean expression

Returns a Boolean expression specifying
candidate values of

var

that maximize

expression

or locate its least upper bound.

fMax(1ì (xì a)^2ì (xì b)^2,x)

¸

x

=

a+b

2

fMax(.5x^3ì xì 2,x)

¸

x

=

ˆ

Use the “|” operator to restrict the solution
interval and/or specify the sign of other undefined
variables.

For the

APPROX

setting of the

Exact/Approx

mode,

fMax()

iteratively searches for one

approximate local maximum. This is often faster,
particularly if you use the “|” operator to
constrain the search to a relatively small interval
that contains exactly one local maximum.

Note: See also

fMin()

and

max()

.

fMin()

MATH/Calculus menu

fMin(

expression, var

)

Boolean expression

Returns a Boolean expression specifying
candidate values of

var

that minimize

expression

or

locate its greatest lower bound.

Use the “|” operator to restrict the solution
interval and/or specify the sign of other undefined
variables.

For the

APPROX

setting of the

Exact/Approx

mode,

fMin()

iteratively searches for one

approximate local minimum. This is often faster,
particularly if you use the “|” operator to
constrain the search to a relatively small interval
that contains exactly one local minimum.

FnOff

CATALOG

FnOff

Deselects all Y= functions for the current
graphing mode.

In split-screen, two-graph mode,

FnOff

only

applies to the active graph.

FnOff [1] [, 2] ... [,99]

Deselects the specified Y= functions for the
current graphing mode.

In function graphing mode:

FnOff 1,3

¸

deselects

y1(x)

and

y3(x)

.

In parametric graphing mode:

FnOff 1,3

¸

deselects

xt1(t)

yt1(t)

,

xt3(t)

, and

yt3(t)

.
