Analyzing Functions

The HP 49G provides numerous tools for analyzing the mathematical
properties of fimctions. For example, you can calculate roots, extrema,

slopes, areas, and the point of intersection of two graphs.

Wliere you have plotted more than one function, you may first need to
select the function you want to analyze. By default, the first function listed

on the Plot Fimctions screen is the fimction that is selected.

To select another function for analysis:

1. Press

TRACE

to turn on trace mode. (See “Tracing a plot” on page 4-35.)

2. Press ® or ® until the cursor is on the function you want to analyze.

You can also select another function by pressing

nxeq

(found on

the second page of the

function

menu). In this case, you do not

need to be in trace mode.
