kEntering the CONICS Mode
1. In the Main Menu, select the CONICS icon and enter the CONICS Mode. When
you do, the following built in function menu appears on the screen.
2. Use fand cto highlight the built-in function you want, and then press w.

Function variables
• The values that appear are the values currently assigned to each variable, which
are general variables used by the calculator. If the values include an imaginary
part, only the real part appears on the display.
3. Assign values to each variable.

• You can also use fand cto highlight a
variable and then input a value.
4. Press 6(DRAW) to draw the graph.

• Certain View Window parameters can make a circle graph come out looking like
an ellipse. When this happens, you can use the graph correction function (SQR)
to make corrections and produce a perfect circle.

Use the following View Window parameters.
Xmin = –8 Ymin = –10

14 - 2 Graphing an Implicit Function

• A parabola is the locus of points equidistant from fixed line land fixed point F
not on the line. Fixed point F is the “focus,” fixed line lis the “directrix,” the
horizontal line that passes through the focus directrix is the “axis of symmetry,”
the length of a straight line that intersects the parabola, passes through the
locus, and is parallel to fixed line lis the “latus rectum,” and point A where the
parabola intersects the axis of symmetry is the “vertex.”
• An ellipse is the locus of points the sum of the distances of each of which from
two fixed points F and F’is constant. Points F and F’are the “foci,” pointsA, A’,
B, and B’ where the ellipse intersects the x- and y-axes are the “vertexes,” the
x-coordinate values of vertexes A and A’ are called x-intercepts, and the y-
coordinate values of vertexes B and B’ are called y-intercepts.
• A hyperbola is the locus of points related to two given points F and F’ such that
the difference in distances of each point from the two given points is constant.
Points F and F’ are the “foci,” points A and A’ where the hyperbola intersects
the x-axis are the “vertexes,” the x-coordinate values of vertexes Aand A’ are
called x-intercepts, the y-coordinate values of vertexes A andA’ are called y-
intercepts, and straight lines iand i' , which get closer to the hyperbola as they
move away from the foci are “asymptotes.”

You can determine approximations of the following analytical results using implicit
function graphs.
• Focus/vertex calculation
• Latus rectum calculation
• Center/radius calculation
•x-/y-intercept calculation
• Directrix/axis of symmetry drawing and analysis

• Certain View Window parameters can produce errors in graph analysis result
values.
• The message ”Not Found” appears on the display when graph analysis is
unable to produce a result.
• The following can result in inaccurate analysis results or may even make it
impossible to obtain a solution at all.
• When the solution is tangent to the x-axis.
• When the solution is a point of tangency between two graphs.
