HP 39g Graphing Calculator - Manual (Page 26)

Trig Explorer The Trig Explorer aplet is used to investigate the behaviour
aplet of the graph of >> = as,m(bx + c) + d as the values of a, h, c
and d change, both by manipulating the equation and seeing
the change in the graph, or by manipulating the graph and
seeing the change in the equation.

In this mode, the graph
controls the equation. Pressing
the 0 0 and Q [►] keys
transforms the graph, with
these transformations reflected
in the equation.
The button labelled IMIEID is a
toggle between M<tlrC3 and
When is
chosen, the ‘point of control’ is
at the origin (0,0) and the
fT] frl and 0 0 keys
control vertical and horizontal
transformations. When aai.il3 lBGE3l$EB0aBa^^lEHaHll
is chosen the ‘point of control’ is on the first extremum of the
graph (i.e. for the sine graph at (n/2,1).
The arrow keys change the
amplitude and frequency of the
graph. This is most easily seen
by experimenting.
Pressing |SYMB| displays the

screen. The equation is

Q and Q keys moves from
parameter to parameter.
Pressing the or Q key changes the parameter’s values.
The default angle setting for this aplet is radians. The angle
setting can be changed to degrees by pressing I ¡TIM.
