4. Instead of graphing the function in the default viewing window for tangent,
press WINDOW adjust the Xmin and Xmax to 10° and 30° (value of interest
± 10° ) respectively to start out closer to the value of interest. Set the Xscl =
1. Press ZOOM A (ZOOM) and 1 (Auto) to view the graph.
5. Now, engage the trace by pressing TRACE . Notice the tracer appears at
x= 20° since it is the middle of the xvalues. The approximate for tan 20°
is .36397.

1. Verify the double angle formula sin 2θ= 2 sin θcos θ, by graphing Y1 = sin
(2x) and Y2 = 2 sin xcos xand show that they are in fact the same graph.
2. Turn the calculator on and press Y= . Press CL to clear Y1 of an old
expression. Press ▼CL to clear additional expressions.
3. Make sure the calculator is in radian mode by pressing 2ndF SET UP ,
B(DRG) and 2 (Rad). Press 2ndF QUIT to exit the menu.
4. Now enter sin (2x) for Y1 by pressing sin ( 2 X/θ/T/n) ENTER
and the 2 sin xcos xfor Y2 by pressing 2 sin X/θ/T/ncos X/θ/T/n
ENTER .
5. Set your viewing window by pressing ZOOM E (TRIG) 1 (sin x).
6. They appear as one graph. An invalid formula or identity would result in
two graphs.

Investigate changes in amplitude.
1. Turn the calculator on and press Y= and CL to clear old expressions.
2. Enter y = sin x for Y1 by pressing sin X/θ/T/n.
3. Enter y = 3 sin x for Y2 by pressing 3 sin X/θ/T/n.
4. Press ZOOM A (ZOOM) 5 (Default) to view the graphs.
5. Notice that the 3 in front of the sine function makes the curve oscillate
between 3 and -3 instead of 1 and -1.
6. Press Y= ▼CL to clear Y2. Enter y= -2 sin x for Y2 by pressing
( - ) 2 sin X/θ/T/n.
7. Press GRAPH to view the graphs. Notice that the -2 in front of the sine
function makes the curve reflect on the x-axis and makes the curve oscillate
between -2 and 2.
