Working with Animations

6(Animate) – 3:Trace.

• This specifi es point D (the one you selected in step 13) as the “trace point”.

15. Perform the following operation:

6(Animate) – 5:Go (once).

• This should cause a parabola to be traced on the display. Note that line segment AB is

the directrix and point C is the focus of the parabola.

Note

• All of the points that are currently selected on the screen become trace points when you

perform the following operation:

6(Animate) – 3:Trace. This operation also cancels Trace

for any point that is currently confi gured as a trace point.

• The calculator’s auto power off feature will turn off power if an animation is being

performed. If calculator power is turned off (either by auto power off or manually) while an
animation is being performed, the animation will be stopped.
