The HP 40G is packaged with a computer algebra system

(CAS). Refer to the CAS Manual for further information.

The HP 39G/40G incorporates a memory manager that you
can use to see how much memory the objects that you have

created or loaded are occupying. See “Memory Manager” on
page 11 -9 for more information.

In Plot view, you can use the MUtM menu key to jump to a
value on the plot instead of having to trace the plot to locate
values. See “Exploring the graph” on page 2-7 for more

information.

When you choose the HD option in the Statistics aplet’s Plot
view screen, it is now possible to ligiMtl along the regression
curve. Once a data set and regression curve is displayed,
pressing the up and down arrows will move between the data

and the curve of regression. When the regression curve is
selected, the values displayed in the Plot view status line are

the

PREDY

values. On the HP 38G, the Trace function would

select known data points only.

To complement the Statistics aplet, a new Inference aplet has

been added. Use this aplet to perfonn hypothesis tests and

determine confidence intervals. See “About the Inference

aplet” on page 9-1 for more information.

The teaching aplets Trig Explorer and Quadratic Explorer
have been added to the calculator. These two aplets add
powerfully to the capabilities of the calculator in the
classroom.
