polygonplot

Used in the Geometry app Symbolic view. Given an n × m

matrix, draws and connects the points (xk, yk), where xk is the

element in row k and column 1, and yk is the element in row

k and column j (with j fixed for k=1 to n rows). Thus, each

column pairing generates its own figure, resulting in m–1

figures.

polygonplot(Matrix)

Example:

polygonplot

draws two figures, each with three

points connected by segments.

polygonscatterplot

Used in the Geometry app Symbolic view. Given an n × m matrix,

draws and connects the points (xk, yk), where xk is the element in

row k and column 1, and yk is the element in row k and column j

(with j fixed for k=1 to n rows). Thus, each column pairing

generates its own figure, resulting in m-– figures.

polygonscatterplot(Matrix)

Example:

polygonscatterplot

draws two figures, each

with three points connected by segments.

Given a set of points defined by two lists, and a positive

integer n, returns a vector containing the coefficients (a

), the nth order

polynomial which best approximates the given points.

polynomial_regression(List1, List2, Integer)

Example:

polynomial_regression({1, 2, 3, 4}, {1, 4, 9,
16},3) returns [0 1 0 0]

POLYROOT

Returns the zeros of the polynomial given as a vector of
coefficients.

POLYROOT(Vector)

Example:

POLYROOT([1 0 -1]) returns {-1, 1}
