Slide 10
Press 2 ND +712
Slide 11
Press the MODE button
Slide 12
Press WINDOW button Select Maximum and Minimum x- and y-
values
Slide 13
Press the Y= button Write functions to create pictures Use your
mathematical knowledge You can use up to 10 equations on the Y=
screen
Slide 14
Sometimes you may only require to graph a portion of the domain
E.g. The function is y=x 2 5 but it is only graphed for x1
Slide 15
Type in the function in the parentheses, and divide the
function by the restriction in the parentheses E.g. y=(x 2 5)/{x1}
The and symbols are found by hitting 2 nd + MATH Function

Slide 19
Find the equations & domains of ALL 4 curves and draw your
McDonalds sign To help you, here are the WINDOW setting:

MATH (TEST) Use your arrow key to move to LOGIC menu 1: and E.g.
-(X + 2) 2 + 8/(X0) and (X10)
Slide 30
To draw the Sun Equation of the circle: X 2 + Y 2 = r 2
Slide 31
Vertical lines cannot be graphed in function mode However, a
very steep line can be produced What is y=x? Now, what is
y=50x?
Slide 32
Try it on your own Set 2 domains Either use circle formula
(make y the subject) or use 2 quadratic curves Trigo Function Use a
large gradient (i.e. m>94) Use a large gradient (i.e.
m>94)

equation in GC?
Slide 35
To set your graphic calculator to Polar Coordinates Mode >
POL > [Enter]
Slide 36
You have now changed Cartesian coordinates to Polar
coordinates. Press and you will see that y is no longer the subject
but r. Explore the following curves using the GC

Slide 43
y=mx+c m=gradient, c=y-intercept vertical lines: use horizontal
lines with very steep gradients (y=ax, a>94) Lines y=ax 2 +bx+c
a determines how open the parabola should be and in which direction
b affects turning point c affects y-intercept y=a(x-h)2+k derive
from completing the square h & k are x & y coordinates of
vertex point Quadratic
Slide 44
y=px 3 +qx 2 +rx+c Cubic (x-a) 2 +(y-b) 2 =r 2 r = circle
radius the centres coordinates are (a,b) please make y the subject
of this formula first hint: you will get 2 formulas Circle
Slide 45
x 2 /a 2 + y 2 /b 2 = 1 if a>b majors along x-axis a =
x-intercept, b = y-intercept if b>a majors along y-axis a =
y-intercept, b = x-intercept Ellipse y = a sin(bx+ )+c y = a
cos(bx+ )+c y = a tan(bx+ )+c a affects amplitude b affects
period/frequency c affects y-intercept/height moves the graph
horizontally Trigonometry
