Getting Started: Graphing a Circle

Page 64 highlights

Getting Started: Graphing a Circle Getting Started is a fast-paced introduction. Read the chapter for details. Graph a circle of radius 10, centered on the origin in the standard viewing window. To graph a circle, you must enter separate formulas for the upper and lower portions of the circle. Then use ZOOM Square to adjust the display to make the functions appear as a circle. 1. In Func MODE, press o to display the Y= edit screen. Press y ã‡ä £ 100 to enter the expression to define the top half of the circle, Y1=‡(100-X2). The bottom half of the circle is defined by Y2=M‡(100-X2). However, on the TI.82 you can define one function in terms of another, so to define Y2=MY1, press Ì y ãY.VARSä (to display the Y= variables menu) 1 (to select Function...) 1 (to select Y1). 2. Press q and then select ZStandard. This is a quick way to reset the WINDOW variables to the standard values. It also graphs the functions; you do not need to press s. Notice that the functions appear as an ellipse in the standard viewing window. 3. To adjust the display so each "dot" represents an equal width and height, press q and then select ZSquare. The functions are replotted and now appear as a circle on the display. 4. To see the effect of ZSquare on the WINDOW variables, press p and notice the new values for Xmin, Xmax, Ymin, and Ymax. 3-2 Function Graphing

Getting Started: Graphing a Circle
Getting Started is a fast-paced introduction. Read the chapter for details.
Graph a circle of radius 10, centered on the origin in the standard viewing
window. To graph a circle, you must enter separate formulas for the upper and
lower portions of the circle. Then use ZOOM Square to adjust the display to make
the functions appear as a circle.

Press

and then select
ZStandard
. This is a
quick way to reset the

variables to the
standard values. It also graphs the functions; you
do not need to press

.
Notice that the functions appear as an ellipse in
the standard viewing window.
3.
To adjust the display so each “dot” represents an
equal width and height, press
q
and then
select
ZSquare
. The functions are replotted and
now appear as a circle on the display.
