Defining and Selecting Functions

in the Y= Editor &

To create a table of values for a function, you first must define

the function in the Y= editor. Press & to display the Y= editor;

then define up to four functions,

Y

1

,

Y

2

,

Y

3

, and

Y

4

, in terms of

the independent variable,

X

.

For every selected function in the Y= editor, the calculator

automatically creates a column of

Y

n

values. Because the

Y= editor holds up to four functions, the TIN73 can create up

to four

Y

n

columns in a table, one for each function.

When you first enter a function, it is selected automatically. To

select or deselect a function, highlight the

=

with the cursor,

and then press b.
For more details on entering functions, see Chapter 9:

Function Graphing.
