Creating and graphing a list of values of a function


 

When you want to create and graph a specific list of values of a function f(x), for example, for x = 0, .01, .02, .... , .99, 1, you do not need a program.

 

Store f(x) in Y1 (or another Y variable).

 

Create two lists,

seq(.01N,N,0,100)→L1 ENTER

Y1(L1)→L2 ENTER

 

Then in STAT PLOT (2nd Y= 1) put

Xlist:L1

Ylist:L2

Set the WINDOW and GRAPH.

 

Here is an example for the unit Making an open box with maximal volume.

\Y1=(8.5-2X)*(11-2X)*X

seq(.25N,N,1,17) →L1 ENTER

Y1(L1)→L2 ENTER

 

Then in STAT PLOT (2nd Y= 1) put

Xlist:L1

Ylist:L2

Set the WINDOW to Xmin=0, Xmax=4.5, Ymin=18, Ymax = 68, and then GRAPH. You will see

If Y1 is highlighted, you will see
