Using operators
You can use the following operators in your calculations:
For Type this Example
Addition + 3 + 4
Subtraction 10 – 3
Multiplication * (or a space) 43 * 2
Division / 8/2
Absolute value || |x|
Factorial ! 36!
Power ^ 2^3
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 5
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)
6 Chapter 1
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)
Viewing the results
To see the results of your calculation, do one of the following:
m Tap Tools and then tap Evaluate. m Press Enter. m Press x-Return.

Using Functions and Variables
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 Tr igonometry 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.
11
To use any of the built-in functions, do one of the following: m Type the function name on the keyboard, or
1 Tap Tools, and then tap Functions.
The function slip appears. (Your slip may not look exactly like the illustration.)

4 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.
5 If desired, tap X to close the function slip.
6 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)
Using Functions and Variables 13
Using the math functions
The Math list contains the following functions:
Function Abbreviation Description
Square Root Sqrt(x) Returns the square root of x
Natural logarithm Ln(x) Returns the natural logarithm of x
Exponential Exp(x) Returns the exponential (inverse of the
natural logarithm) of x
Gamma Gamma(x) Returns the gamma of x (Factorial(x – 1) for
positive integers)
Logarithm Log(x) Returns the logarithm of x, base 10
Modulus Mod(x,y) Returns the modulus of x with respect to y
(that is, the remainder of x/y)
Remainder Remainder(x,y) Returns x – y * round(x/y)
Factorial Factorial(x) Returns the factorial of x
Using the Remainder function
14 Chapter 2
The Remainder function is not simply the remainder of x/y (the modulus function is). The Remainder function returns x – y * round(x/y). A different definition is x – remainder(x,y), which gives the closest value to x that is evenly divisible by y.
Examples
y(x) = 0.5*ln((1+x)/(1–x))
y(x) = 1/sqrt(4*x^2+1)
y(x) = exp(x)/(1–exp(2*x))
Using the trig functions
The Trig list contains the following functions:
Function Abbreviation Description
Cosine Cos(x) Returns the cosine of x
Sine Sin(x) Returns the sine of x
Tangent Tan(x) Returns the tangent of x
Arc cosine ArcCos(x) Returns the inverse cosine (arc cosine) of x
Arc sine ArcSin(x) Returns the inverse sine (arc sine) of x
Arc tangent ArcTan(x) Returns the inverse tangent (arc tangent) of x
Examples
5cos(.5)
y(x) = sin(x–/2)
Changing the measured angle
By default, trigonometric arguments are interpreted as radians. To use degrees or gradients, follow these steps:
1 Tap measured angle.
2 Tap the desired measurement from the list.
Graphs and tables are updated automatically when you change the angle. Results in the math window are not automatically updated.
Using Functions and Variables 15
Using the series functions
The Series functions perform operations on lists. The Series list contains the following functions:
Function Abbreviation Description
Summation Sum(list) Returns the sum of the entries in the list
Minimum Min(list) Returns the smallest value in the list
Maximum Max(list) Returns the largest value in the list
Mean Mean(list) Returns the arithmetic mean
Median Median(list) Returns the median
Mode Mode(list) Returns the value that occurs most
frequently in the list, or multiple values if they occur with equal frequency
Variance Variance(list) Returns the mean of the squared deviations
Standard deviation StDev(list) Returns the positive square root of the
variance
Sort Sort(list) Sorts the entries in the list from smallest
to largest
16 Chapter 2
Size Size(list) Returns the number of elements in the list
Element Element(list,index) Returns the
Note: index starts with 0 for the first entry
i
n
d
e
th

entry in the list
For more information on lists, see Chapter 4, “Creating and Using Lists.”
Examples
y(x) = Sum([3,sin(x),trunc(x/2)])
element([1,2,3,4,5,6],2) -> 3
mean([0,1,2,3,4,5,6])

y(x) = x*arcsinh(2x)
Using Functions and Variables 17
Using the financial functions
The Financial list contains the following functions:
Function Abbreviation Description
Annuity Annuity(rate,periods) Returns the present value of an annuity
(1 – (1 + r)^n)/r
Compound Compound(rate,periods) Returns (1 + r)^n
Examples
Calculate your savings after two years if you deposited $3000 at 5.25% interest, compounded annually.
3000*compound(.0525,2) -> 3323.27
Calculate the current principal if you’ve made 12 payments of $320 at a rate of 8.5%.
320*annuity(.085,12)
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.
18 Chapter 2
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)]
x
andtin 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 19
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)]
or
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)]
or
20 Chapter 2
p(t)=[t^2,t–3]
You can graph parametric functions or view the results in tabular format, just like any other function.
Using your function
To use your function, do one of the following: m Type the function name on the keyboard, or
1 Tap Tools, and then tap Functions.
2 Tap the diamond u at the top of the slip, then tap User Functions.
3 Tap the function that you want to use in your calculation, then tap Insert.
The caret is placed between the parentheses.
4 Enter the arguments, if any, for the function.
Using constants
The graphing calculator has four constants defined:
m e m pi () m infinity m negative infinity
Tip:
Pressing Option-P is a shortcut for entering the pi symbol ().
Using Functions and Variables 21
To use these constants, do one of the following: m Type the function name from the keyboard, or
1 Tap Tools, and then tap Functions.
2 Tap the diamond u, then tap Constants.
3 In the list that appears, tap the constant that you want to use in your calculation.

To change the value of a variable, follow these steps:
1 Enter the variable name and its new value.
2 Tap Tools, then tap Evaluate (or press Enter or Return).
Graph and table variables
The graphing calculator has some predefined system variables that define the graph and table views.
Using Functions and Variables 23
The graph variables and their default values are:
Variable name Definition Default value
xMin Minimum x value to display –12
xMax Maximum x value to display 12
xScl Increment between tick marks on the x axis 1
yMin Minimum y value to display –12
yMax Maximum y value to display 12
yScl Increment between tick marks on the y axis 1
tMin Minimum value for t in parametric functions 0
tMax Maximum value for t in parametric functions 99
tStep Increment between t values 1
thetaMin Minimum value for
thetaMax Maximum value for in polar functions 2
thetaStep Increment between values /128
in polar functions 0
For more information on using these graph variables, see “Changing the Scale of an Axis” in Chapter 3.
The table variables and their default values are as follows:
Variable name Definition Default value
tblStart Starting value of the table 0
tblDelta Increment between values 0.1
tblStop Stopping value of the table 10
These names are not case-sensitive. You can use these system variables in calculations. You can also change their values and store them.
24 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/s
position = v0t + .5at2= –16t
2
2
velocity = v0+ at = –32t
Using Functions and Variables 25
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)

Creating Graphs and Tables
This chapter describes how to plot a function and view results in tabular format.
Creating graphs
You can create graphs in cartesian (x,y) coordinates:
Creating Graphs and Tables 2727
Or polar coordinates:
To plot a function, follow these steps:
1 Create your function.
See “Creating Your Own Functions” in Chapter 2.
2 Position the cursor on the line of the function you want to graph.
28 Chapter 3
3 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.
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:
1 In the math window, move the caret to the function you want to add to the graph.
2 Tap Tools, and then tap Graph or Graph Polar, depending on the graph you already
have displayed.

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.
1 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.
2 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.

You can change these scales by entering new graph variables in the math window or the Scale slip.
1 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 31
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.
32 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:
1 In the math window, tap the function you want to remove from the graph (or tap the
line in the graph window).
2 Tap Graph, then tap Ungraph.
Creating a table
You can display your function in a tabular format.
1 Create your function.
2 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 33
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.
34 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:
1 In the math window, tap the function you want to remove from the table.
2 Tap Tools, then tap Untable.

Creating and UsingLists
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)]
37
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]
38 Chapter 4
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.
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]]
