ODE

Draws the solution of the differential equation y'=f(t,y) that

crosses the point (t0,y0), where the first argument is the

expression f(t,y), the second argument is the vector of

variables (abscissa must be listed first), and the third argument

is (t0,y0).

App menu

Press

D

to open the

Toolbox menus (one of which
is the App menu). App
functions are used in HP
apps to perform common
calculations. For example, in
the Function app, the Plot
view Fcn menu has a
function called SLOPE that calculates the slope of a given

function at a given point. The SLOPE function can also be

used from the Home view or a program to give the same
results. The app functions described in this section are
grouped by app.

Function app functions

The Function app functions provide the same functionality
found in the Function app's Plot view under the FCN menu. All
these operations work on functions. The functions may be
expressions in X or the names of the Function app variable F0
through F9.

AREA

Area under a curve or between curves. Finds the signed area
under a function or between two functions. Finds the area
under the function Fn or below Fn and above the function Fm,
from lower X-value to upper X-value.

AREA(Fn,[Fm,]lower,upper)

Example:

AREA(-X,X

2

-2,-2,1) returns 4.5
