Manipulating a Function by Dragging

Linear

Function

• To translate, grab near the middle of the graph, and then drag.

• To rotate, grab near the ends of the graph, and then drag.

Quadratic

Function

• To translate, grab near the vertex of the graph, and then drag.

• To stretch, grab away from the vertex of the graph, and then drag.

Sine or

Cosine

Function

• To translate, grab near the axis of vertical symmetry of the graph, and

then drag.

• To stretch, grab away from the axis of vertical symmetry of the graph,

and then drag.

Finding Points of Interest on a Function Graph

▶ Create a point on the graph, and then drag the point to quickly identify maximums,

minimums, and zeros.

Temporary signposts appear as you drag through the points of interest.

▶ For other points of interest, tap Tools , select AnalyzeGraph, and select the type

of analysis, such as Integral. The application prompts you to choose a graph and

define the boundaries.

Graphing Linear and Conic Equations

1. In the Graphing view, tap Tools and go to GraphEntry/Edit > Equation.

2. Tap the type of equation (Line, Parabola, Circle, Ellipse, Hyperbola, or Conic).
