Key Sequence |
Screens |
1. Input Function, Piecewise-Defined Function, or Parametric Equation. |
Press DIAMOND key, then F1 key (for Y=) |
|
|
Type the function |
|
2. Graph |
Press DIAMOND key, then F3 key |
|
3. Find Tangent Line |
Press F5 |
|
|
Press ALPHA, then = key (for Tangent) |
|
|
Type in value for x or trace function until you reach the value for x |
|
Note: In this case, we are finding tangent line to curve at x = 3. |
Note: For parametric equations, type in value for t or trace function until you reach the value for t. |
|
Press ENTER |
|
Note: In this case, the equation of the tangent line to curve at x = 3 is
y = –6x + 14. |
