Function app
The Function app enables you to explore up to 10 real-
valued, rectangular functions of y in terms of x; for
example,
and
.
Once you have defined a function you can:
•
create graphs to find roots, intercepts, slope, signed
area, and extrema, and
•
create tables that show how functions are evaluated
at particular values.
This chapter demonstrates the basic functionality of the
Function app by stepping you through an example. More-
complex functionality is described in chapter 5, “An
introduction to HP apps”, beginning on page 69.
Getting started with the Function app
The Function app uses the customary app views: Symbolic,
Plot and Numeric described in chapter 5.
For a description of the menu buttons available in this
app, see:
•
“Symbolic view: Summary of menu buttons” on
page 86
•
“Plot view: Summary of menu buttons” on page 96,
and
•
“Numeric view: Summary of menu buttons” on
page 104.
Throughout this chapter, we will explore the linear function
and the quadratic function
