Graphing Calculator; Functions/Documentation

Is there any published documentation for the “Graphing Calculator”? 

From brief exercise, appears that all it can do is graph a single expression, and that only a limited set of functions is available.  Ability to graph multiple expressions, and determine intersections of same (as the ti84 does) would be quite useful. 

That said, it still is a lot more convenient method of displaying a graph on whiteboard, than capturing/displaying actual TI calculator screen . .

Hi,

Sorry for the poor documentation for the plug-ins, they are various addons that we thought might be useful, but aren’t part of the core product, and so don’t receive as much attention/support from us.

The available functions are:

neg, abs, sign
ln, log, exp, pow
sin, cos, tan, cot, sec, csc
asin, acos, atan, acot, asec, acsc,
sinh, cosh, tanh, coth, sech, csch
asinh, acosh, atanh, acoth, asech, acsch

They all take one argument, except for pow which takes 2.

It should recognize |x| as the same as abs(x), x^2 means x to the second power, and x! means X factorial. Also the constants ‘e’ and ‘pi’ are available.

You can indeed graph multiple functions, simply separate them with a ; character. For example, try this input:
abs(x);0.1x^2;-4;3sin(x)

Finally, after graphing multiple equations, if you click the 5th button (that looks like an X with a green dot), it will calculate the intersections.

Thanks for using Vyew. Feel free to let me know any other suggestions you have, we will take them into consideration for our future versions.

Are there any plans to upgrade, or publish a new release of, this plug-in?

To implement more of the capabilities of (at least) the TI-84.  Specifically, to recognize (one-character) variable names, evaluate expressions, etc.  (Symbolic manipulation “would be nice”, but possibly not all that easy to implement). 

It would be especially interesting to hear from anyone who is using vyew for online math tutoring.

Free Online TI-84 Graphing Calculator for free?
I need one that is either…
--free and downloadable from a trustworthy source. (virus prevention purposes.)
or…
--free and non-downloadable and just available on a trusted website.

I need to be able to find the equation for the Line of Best Fit for a set of data, if that helps. Also, the equation for the L.o.B.F. is y=mx+b , correct?

Thanks-a-Bunch:)
