• Press L to recover the menu. Press L@)PICT to recover the original

graphics menu.

• When we observed the graph being plotted, you'll notice that the graph

is not very smooth. That is because the plotter is using a time step that is
too large. To refine the graph and make it smoother, use a step of 0.1.
Try the following keystrokes:

@CANCL ˜˜˜.1@@@OK@@@ @ERASE @DRAW.

The plot will take longer to be completed, but the shape is definitely
smoother than before.

• Press @EDIT L @LABEL @MENU, to see axes labels and range. Notice that

the labels for the axes are shown as 0 (horizontal) and 1 (vertical). These
are the definitions for the axes as given in the PLOT WINDOW screen
(see above), i.e.,

H-VAR (t): 0

, and

V-VAR(x): 1

.

• Press LL@)PICT to recover menu and return to PICT environment.
• Press (X,Y) to determine coordinates of any point on the graph. Use

™ and š to move the cursor in the plot area. At the bottom of the
screen you will see the coordinates of the cursor as (X,Y). The calculator
uses X and Y as the default names for the horizontal and vertical axes,
respectively.

• Press L@)CANCL to return to the PLOT WINDOW environment. Then,

press

$ to return to normal calculator display.


More details on using graphical solutions of differential equations are
