Tip: You don't need to type the multiplication symbol (*) before an expression. A
number before a symbol or a space between symbols is interpreted as multiplication.
For example:

3sin(x) is interpreted as 3 multiplied by the sine of x.

Introduction

x y z is interpreted as x multiplied by y, then that product multiplied by z.

Use parentheses to avoid ambiguity about the order of calculations. The expressions
in parentheses are solved first.

For example, if you type:

3*(4+6)

then the calculation 4 + 6 will be performed first.

For more information, see "Order of Evaluation," next.

Order of evaluation

The graphing calculator evaluates calculations in the following order:

m Calculations inside parentheses. For example, in the expression 3 * (4 + 6), 4 + 6

is evaluated first and the result (10) is multiplied by 3.

m Functions, such as sin or log
m Factorials (evaluated left to right)
m Exponent operator (evaluated right to left)
m Unary minus (for example, �a)
m Multiplication and division (evaluated left to right). For example, in the expression

2 + 3 * 6, 3 * 6 is evaluated first.

m Addition and subtraction (evaluated left to right)

Introduction

This symbol represents

calculation documents.

This chapter describes how to use the built-in functions of the graphing calculator
and how to create your own functions and variables.

Using the built-in functions

The graphing calculator has several built-in functions that you can use with your
calculations. These functions are grouped as follows:

m Integer
m Math
m Trigonometry
m Series
m Hyperbolic
m Financial

You can enter functions by typing function names on the keyboard or by selecting the
functions from a list.

Using Functions and Variables

To use any of the built-in functions, do one of the following:
m Type the function name on the keyboard, or

Tap Tools, and then tap Functions.

The function slip appears. ( Your slip may not look exactly like the illustration.)

Tap the diamond

u at the top of the slip.

In the list that appears, tap the type of function you want (Integer, Math, Trig, Series,
Hyperbolic, Advanced, or Financial).

Functions of that type are shown.

Chapter 2

Tap the function category you want.

Functions appear in this area.

Tap the function that you want to use in your calculation, then tap Insert.

The function appears and the caret is placed between the parentheses.

If desired, tap

X to close the function slip.

Enter the arguments for the function.

Using the integer functions

The Integer list contains the following functions:

Function

Abbreviation

Description

Ceiling

Ceiling(x)

Returns the smallest integer greater than x

Floor

Floor(x)

Returns the largest integer less than x

Round

Round(x)

Returns the nearest integer to x (rounds to even
integers on x.5 values)

Truncate

Trunc(x)

Returns the numbers to the left of the
decimal point of x

Examples

y(x) = Ceiling(2.3x+3.6)

y(x) = Round(3*x/4)

mymodulus(x,y) = x�y*Trunc(x/y)

Creating your own functions

You can create functions and use functions that you define. Functions must have a
function name followed by the argument names in parentheses on the left side of the
equals sign and an expression on the right.

Note: You must enter a function name for each expression.

The following are examples of valid functions:

y(x)=sin(x�0.5*pi)

z(x)=sqrt(16�x^2)

r(t)=8cos(t)

p(t)=[4cos(t),3sin(t)]

qrts(a,b,c)=[(�b+sqrt(b^2�4a*c))/(2a),(�b�sqrt(b^2�

4a*c))/(2a)]

Chapter 2

x and t in the above examples are the function parameters. You specify the values
for these parameters when you use the function in a calculation. For example,
to evaluate the function

z(x)=sqrt(16�x^2)

with x = 2, type

z(2)

and

press Enter.

To create a function:
m Enter the function and press Enter.

If no errors are found, a checkmark appears to the right of your function and your
function is added to the Your Functions list. Functions are saved automatically. There
is no save command or button.

Using Functions and Variables

Creating parametric functions

An example of a parametric function is shown below:

x=t2, y=t�3

To enter parametric equations into the Newton Works graphing calculator, you can
use the following format:

x(t)=f(t)

y(t)=g(t)

p(t)=[x(t),y(t)]

p(t)=[f(t),g(t)]

For example, using the above parametric equation, you can enter:

x(t)=t^2

y(t)=t�3

p(t)=[x(t),y(t)]

p(t)=[t^2,t�3]

You can graph parametric functions or view the results in tabular format, just like any
other function.

Chapter 2

Stopping value of the table

These names are not case-sensitive. You can use these system variables in
calculations. You can also change their values and store them.

Chapter 2

Additional examples

Find the range, mean, and standard deviation of these observations:

16,4,8,14,3,10,2,24,11,7,9

An object is released from rest and falls freely. Calculate its position and velocity after
1, 5, and 10 seconds. Take the origin 0 as the elevation of the starting point, the y-axis
vertical, and the upward direction as positive.

The initial coordinate and initial velocity are both negative. The acceleration is
downward, or �32 ft/s2

position = v0t + .5at

2 = �16t2

velocity = v0 + at = �32t

Using Functions and Variables

A 32-lb. weight is attached to the lower end of a coil spring suspended from the
ceiling. The weight comes to rest in its equilibrium position, stretching the spring
2 ft. The weight is then pulled down 5 in. below its equilibrium position and released
at t = 0. No external forces are present; but the resistance of the medium in pounds
is equal to 4(dx/dt), where dx/dt is the instantaneous velocity in feet per second. Plot
the damped oscillatory motion.

Using the above information with the basic differential equation for free,
damped motion:

m * d2x/dt2 + a * dx/dt + k * x = 0

Solving for the root and differentiating with respect to t, the solution is:

x = sqrt(3)/3 * e^(�2t) * cos(2sqrt(3) * t �

/6)

Chapter 2

Or polar coordinates:

To plot a function, follow these steps:

Create your function.

See "Creating Your Own Functions" in Chapter 2.

Position the cursor on the line of the function you want to graph.

Tap Tools, then tap Graph or Graph Polar.

A graph of your function appears.

If you change a graphed function in the math window, the graph is updated
automatically after you evaluate the function. If a function is dependent on a variable,
the graph is updated automatically when you change the value of that variable.

Chapter 3

Plotting multiple functions on a graph

You can plot multiple curves on a single graph. The graph icon next to the function
shows the line style used to draw the curve associated with that function.

Note: To plot multiple functions, make sure the functions have different names.

To plot multiple curves, follow these steps:

In the math window, move the caret to the function you want to add to the graph.

Tap Tools, and then tap Graph or Graph Polar, depending on the graph you already
have displayed.

Creating Graphs and Tables

This symbol shows the

line style used in the

graph window for this

function.

Changing the zoom factor

To change the level of detail in your graph, tap View and then tap Zoom In or
Zoom Out.

To zoom in to a particular section of a curve, draw a rectangle around that section.

Hold the pen where you want one corner of the rectangle, until you hear a beep.

Note: Make sure the volume on your eMate is turned up so that you can hear the
beep noise.

Drag the pen until the section of the graph you want to view is enclosed in
the rectangle.

The other View options are as follows:

m Tap Zoom Full to view the entire graph.
m Tap Zoom Default to set the x and y min and max values to �12 and +12,

respectively.

m Tap Constrain Aspect Ratio to make sure the graph is always square.
m You can also change the zoom factor with the Scale slip. See "Changing the Scale

of an Axis" next.

Chapter 3

This rectangle defines the area you
want to zoom in on.

Changing the scale of an axis

The Graph Variables define the scale of the axes for graphs.

You can change these scales by entering new graph variables in the math window or
the Scale slip.

Tap View, and then tap Scale.

The Scale slip appears.

Note: xMin must be less than xMax and yMin must be less than yMax.

You can enter expressions with e or

in the Scale slip. For example, you can set

Max = 2.

Creating Graphs and Tables

yMax

yMin

xMax

xMin

If xScl or yScl are set to values that would generate too few or too many tick marks on
the graph window, their default values are used.

For more information on these variables, see "Graph and Table Variables" in
the section "Using Variables" in Chapter 2.

Viewing a point on the graph

Tapping a curve marks that point with a box and displays the (x,y) values of that
point. Use the left and right arrow keys on your keyboard to move the box to the left
and right, respectively. The box will follow the curve of the graph.

To view the (x,y) values of a point that's not on a curve, tap the point. An X appears
and the (x,y) values of that point are displayed.

Hint: If you have problems tapping on a curve, tap above (or below) the curve, then
press the arrow keys on your keyboard to move the point in small increments to the
curve. When it reaches the curve, the X changes to a box.

If you have multiple graphs plotted, you can use the Tab key on your keyboard to
move the point between lines.

Chapter 3

Moving around a graph

After tapping a point on a curve (or any point on the graph), you can use the arrow
keys on your keyboard to move around the graph. Pressing the arrow keys while
holding down the Shift or

x key moves the box or X in larger increments.

Closing graphs

To close the graph window:
m Tap Graph, then tap Close Graph.

To remove a curve from the graph, follow these steps:

In the math window, tap the function you want to remove from the graph (or tap the
line in the graph window).

Tap Graph, then tap Ungraph.

Creating a table

You can display your function in a tabular format.

Create your function.

Tap Tools, and then tap Table.

A table appears showing the input and output values of your function. An example is
shown below.

Creating Graphs and Tables

You can display multiple functions in a table.
m In the math window, move the caret to the function you want to add to the table.

Tap Tools, and then tap Table.

Moving through the table

To scroll through a table, tap any entry in the table and press the Up or Down Arrow
keys on your keyboard. Pressing the arrow keys while holding down the

x key moves

in larger increments. Press the Left or Right Arrow keys to move from one function to
the next.

Chapter 3

Changing the table scale

The tblStart, tblStop, and tblDelta system variables define the initial table view. You
can change these variables in the math window. For example:

tblStart=10

tblStop=15

tblDelta=.25

Note: tblStop is used only in printing or copy-and-drag operations. You can scroll
beyond the tblStart and tblStop values in the table window.

Closing a table

To close the table window:
m Tap Tools, then tap Close Table.

To remove a function from the table, follow these steps:

In the math window, tap the function you want to remove from the table.

Tap Tools, then tap Untable.

Creating Graphs and Tables

You can use lists to provide values for function arguments and to store and
manipulate data. This chapter describes how to create and use lists in your
calculations and functions.

Creating lists

To create a list, type a series of numbers separated by commas and enclosed in
square brackets. You can enclose lists within lists and place functions in lists. The
following are examples of lists:

[1,2,3,4,5]

[1,2,[3,4]]

[1,2,x^2,sin(x)]

Creating and Using Lists

Performing operations on lists

You can perform any operation on a list of numbers. If multiple lists are used in an
operation, they must be the same length. The following are some examples of simple
operations done with lists:

Operation

Example

Result

Addition

[1,2] + 3

[4,5]

[1,2] + [3,4]

[4,6]

3 + [1,2,[3,4]]

[4,5,[6,7]]

Subtraction

[1,7,1] � [2,3,1]

[�1,4,0]

[6,7] � 3

[3,4]

Multiplication

3 * [4,5]

[20,25]

[1,2,[3,4]] * [4,5,6]

[4,10,[18,24]]

Division

[3,4,5]/2

[1.5,2,2.5]

[4,5,6]/[2,3,4]

[2,1.6667,1.5]

Simple functions

[2,3]^2

[4,9]

log([1,10])

[0,1]

The above functions perform operations on each element in the list. Other functions
perform operations on the entire list--for example sum([list]). For more information
on lists and functions, see Chapter 2, "Using Functions and Variables."

Using variables with lists

You can assign a list to a variable and perform operations on that variable.
For example:

a=[1,2,[3,4]]

3+a -> [4,5,[6,7]]

For more information on variables, see "Using Variables" in Chapter 2.

Chapter 4

Graphing lists

You can use lists to graph a family of curves. Use one of the following formats for
the list:

m [[x1,y1,x2,y2,x3,y3...]
m [[x1,y1],[x2,y2],[x3,y3],...]
m [[x1,x2,x3,...],[y1,y2,y3,...]]
An example is shown below:

An advantage of the format [[x1,x2,x3,...],[y1,y2,y3,...]] is that you can perform
operations on the x and y coordinates independently.

The following example shifts the graph to the right (shifts the x coordinates) by
10 units:

list1=[[0,1,2,3,4],[5,6,7,8,9]]

list2=list1+[10,0] -> [[10,11,12,13,14],[5,6,7,8,9]]
