To draw a tangent in the RUN or PRGM Mode
The following is the command syntax for drawing a tangent in these modes.
Tangent <graph function>, < x -coordinate>
• Use the variable data (VARS) menu to specify the function to be graphed.
Example To draw a line that is tangent to point ( x = 2, y = 0) of y = x ( x + 2)
( x – 2)
1. Enter the RUN Mode, display the sketch menu, and then perform the following
input.
!4 (Sketch) 2 (Tang)
J4
(GRPH)
1 (Y) b,c
2. Press w to draw the tangent line.
w
k k k k k Line Normal to a Curve
With this function you can draw a line that is normal to the curve at a specific point.
• A line that is normal to the curve at a given point is one that is perpendicular to
the tangent line at that point.
uuuuu
To draw a line normal to a curve in the GRAPH or TABLE Mode
Example To draw a line that is normal to the curve at point ( x = 2, y = 0) of
y = x ( x + 2)( x – 2)
1. After graphing the function, display the sketch menu and press 3 (Norm).
!4 (Sketch) 3 (Norm)
