Finding derivatives
To find
derivatives in
HOME
The HP 39G/40G can perform symbolic differentiation on
some functions. There are two ways of using the HP 39G/40G
to find derivatives.
•
You can perform differentiations in HOME by using the
formal variables, SI to S5.
•
You can perform differentiations of functions of X in the
Function aplet.
To find the derivative of the function in HOME, use a formal
variable in place of X. If you use X, the differentiation
function substitutes the value that X holds, and returns a
numeric result.
For example, consider the function:
2
dx{ sin (x ) + 2 cos (x))
1. Enter the differentiation function onto the command line
substituting S1 in place of X.
