Inputting Equations

u To input an equation using a Conics Form

Example: To use a Conics Form to input the equation for a parabola with a horizontal axis

(principal axis parallel with

x

-axis)

(1) On the application menu, tap C to start the Conics application.
(2) On the Conics Editor window, tap q, or tap [Form] and then [Insert Conics Form].

• This displays the Select Conics Form dialog box.

(3) Select the Conics Form of the type of equation you

want to graph, and then tap [OK].

• Since we want to graph a parabola with a horizontal

axis in this example, select “X = A(Y – K)

2

+ H”. Tap

[OK] to close the Select Conics Form dialog box, and
display the selected equation in the Conics Editor
window.

(4) Modify the equation on the Conics Editor window as

required.

• Here, we will change the coefficients of the equation

as follows: A = 2, K = 1, H = –2.

(5) Tap ^ to graph the equation.
