Graphing
Calculator
Objectives:
The student will be able to:
- Solve
an inequality using the graphing calculator
- Solve
an equation using a graphing calculator
- Solve
a system of equations using a graphing calculator
- Find
the local or absolute minimum or maximum of an equation using a
graphing calculator
- Determine
the intervals on which a function is increasing, decreasing, or
constant using a graphing calculator (for precalculus)
- Determine
an appropriate viewing rectangle for the graph of an equation
- Match
an equation to its graph
- Graph
an equation on the graphing calculator which requires more than one
function to produce the graph
Examples:
- Solve
the following inequality.
- Use a
graphing calculator to approximate to two decimal places the real
solutions ot the equation
,
- Use a
graphing calculator to approximate to two decimal places the values of x
where the graphs intersect.
- Use a
graphing calculator to approximate to three decimal places the
coordinates of the minimum point of the function.
- Use a graphing
calculator to approximate to three decimal places the interval(s) where
the function is decreasing. Use open interval notation

- Use a graphing
calculator to decide which viewing rectangle produces the most
appropriate graph of the equation

A. [-16,16] by [-2, 6]
B. [0, 16] by [-2, 6]
C. [-16, 16] by [0, 3]
D. [-10, 10] by [-10, 10]
- Consider
. Once must consider the circle as being
described the graphs of two equations. Give the two equations for
the circle.
