Re: Symbolic85



The ti85 does no symbolic manipulation. When you graph y2=der1(x^2     )
 (I don't remember the full parameter list for der1), all the ti does
evaluate x^2 at a test point and another very close point for each value
of x that appears on the graph, so that it can calculate the slope
(rise/run) for each point on the graph. Unfortunately, the symbolic
derivative 2x is not anywhere in the calc.'s memory when you graph
der1(x^2          ), so not even a trick with strings can get to it.
