uTo 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.
