The EL-9600 was developed to meet the needs of an expanding
education market and is based on three concepts: easy to teach,
easy to learn and easy to use. The EL-9600 has been designed
with simplified operations and time-saving features, allowing
teachers to concentrate on actual teaching.
This manual was designed to introduce teachers to the unique
features of the EL-9600 using detailed operation examples.

Graphing Procedures
The EL-9600 has three unique functions that simplify graphing procedures: Rapid Graph,
Rapid Window and Rapid Zoom. Of course, the EL-9600 supports conventional graphing
procedures as well.
Following outlines graphing procedures and indicates the steps where Sharp's unique functions can
be used to simplify operations. These functions are introduced on the following pages.

Rapid graph
Graphing has never been easier. With its full range of preset equations, rapid graph
simplifies equation input. Use in conjunction with the rapid window function or with any
graph created.
Draw the graph for y = 2sin (-2x+ ) + 2
using the rapid graph function.
Enter the equation entry mode.
Enter Rapid Graph mode and view
the equation-type menu.
Select the sin equation format and
view the sin equation style.
Select the type of equation: Trigo-
nometric, and view the equation
format menu.
