• In the function
f
(x)
, only X can be used as a variable in expressions. Other
variables (A through Z,
r
,
θ) are treated as constants, and the value currently
assigned to that variable is applied during the calculation.
• Input of A
x
and the closing parenthesis can be omitted. If you omit A
x
, the
calculator automatically uses a value for A
x
that is appropriate for the deriva-
tive value you are trying to determine.
• Discontinuous points or sections with drastic fluctuation can adversely affect
precision or even cause an error.
