Mathematical operations require a specific syntax when input.
Enter or modify the number of points text field with the number of points you want plotted. This allows one to see how a derivative compares to the original function or aids in visualizing a three-dimensional shape by showing a cross section before rotation. Learning the Interface Examples - Located on the gray menubar near the top of the applet window, there are 5 examples. The first is the default, the second is a cross section example, the third is a derivative comparison example, the fourth is another cross section example, and the fifth is an example that looks like a tornado. Graphing Area - The large white space surrounded by a red border in the upper region of the window is where the graph of the two functions, the maximum values, the minimum values, and an axis are drawn.
