Sequences and Series (New in version 9.0 from May 2021)

The program determines the first n members of a sequence (ai) and the corresponding series (sum of the sequence members) if the first limbs of the sequence and an explicit function ai=ƒ(i) or a recursion formula ai=ƒ(a0, a1, ... , ai-1) are given.

( Σ a[ i ] ) = (1; 4; 9; 16; 25; 36; 49; 64; 81; 100)

Division of Polynomials

The program calculates the product and the quotient of two polynomials.

 1st polynomial: 3·x4 - 2 x + 1
2nd polynomial: 2·x + 5

     Product: 6·x5 + 15·x4 - 4·x2 - 8·x + 5
    Quotient: 3/2·x3 - 15/4·x2 + 75/8·x - 391/16         
Remainder: 1971/16

Factoring Polynomials (New in version 9.0)

p(x) = x5 - 9·x4 - 82/9·x3 + 82·x2 + x - 9
       = (1/9)·(9·x5 - 81·x4 - 82·x3 + 738·x2 + 9·x - 81)
       = (1/9)·(3·x - 1)·(3·x + 1)·(x - 9)·(x - 3)·(x + 3)

Rational zeros: 1/3, -1/3, 9, 3, -3

Transforming Polynomials (New in Version 9.0)

A polynomial function ƒ(x) can be shifted or stretched in the x direction and y direction.

ƒ(x) = - 1/4·x4 + 2·x3 - 16·x + 21

Shifted by dx = -2, dy = 0                                           

ƒ(x + 2) = - 1/4 ·x4 + 6 ·x2 + 1

Polynomials GCD and LCM (new in version 9.0 from February 2021)

The program calculates the greatest common divisor (GCD) and the least common multiple (LCM) of two polynomials p1(x) and p2(x).

p1(x) =  4·x6 - 2·x5 - 6·x4- 18·x3 - 2·x2 + 24·x + 8
p2(x) =  10·x4- 14·x3 - 22·x2 + 14·x + 12

GCD(p1,p2) =  x2 - x - 2
LCM(p1,p2) =  40·x8 - 36·x7 - 76·x6 - 144·x5 + 88·x4+ 356·x3 - 4·x2 - 176·x - 48

Function Plotter

Up to ten functions can be drawn simultaneously in a coordinate system. Links or derivatives of already defined functions are also permitted.

If   ƒ1(x) = sin(x)  and  ƒ2(x) = 3*sqrt(x), then 

ƒ3(x) = 2*y1^2-y2   substitudes    ƒ3(x) = 2*sin(x)^2-3*sqrt(x)
ƒ4(x) = f2(y1)         substitudes     ƒ4(x) = 3*sqrt(sin(x))
ƒ5(x) = y2'              substitudes     ƒ5(x) = 3/(2*sqrt(x))

Example: ƒ1(x)=sin(x), ƒ2(x)=x and ƒ3(x)=y1+y2


Piecewise Functions

A function defined in sections is drawn, which is given by up to nine subfunctions. For each of the subfunctions, the definition area, the type of interval, and the color are entered. It is also possible to determine whether the boundary points are drawn or not.

Example:


Parameter curves

With this program, curves can be drawn that are not given by an explicit function term, but by two functions for horizontal and vertical deflection.

Example: Lissajou figures

    x(k) = sin(3*k)

    y(k) = cos(5*k)

    k from -Pi to Pi

Des figures de Lissajou sont obtenus lorsque deux tensions alternatives de fréquences différentes sont appliquées à un oscilloscope.

Lissajou figures are obtained when two a-c voltages with different frequencies are applied to an oscilloscope.


Family of Curves

The program draws the graphs of any function that contains a blade parameter k. The values for k can be listed or determined by initial value, end value and step size.

    ƒ(x,k) = sin(x+k)

k from -2 to 2 with step size Pi/4

Newton Iteration

Newton iteration is an approximation method for calculating a zero of ƒ(x). If you enter a starting value x0 that is close enough to the desired zero, the next approximation is the intersection of the tangent to the graph of f in the point P(x0 / ƒ(x0)).

  ƒ(x) = x-cos(x)

                 x                       ƒ(x)                  ƒ'(x)

Series Development

A function given as a series is drawn, whereby the series developments for different parameter ranges can be compared and moved in the y-direction for better differentiation.
