These characteristics include slope, y-intercept, perpendicular, and parallel. A linear equation of y in terms of x can be expressed by the slope-intercept form y = m • x + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. We call this equation a linear equation, since its graph is a straight line. Equations where the exponents on the x and y are 1 (implied) are considered linear equations. In graphing linear equations on the calculator, we will let the x-variable be represented by the horizontal axis and let y be represented by the vertical axis. Calculator Operations Turn the calculator on and press Y= . A set of Y prompts will appear on the viewing screen. Press CL to remove an old Y expression. Move up or down the set of Y prompts using the arrow keys, or simply touch the screen twice at the Y prompt desired. Linear Equations/ALGEBRA USING THE SHARP EL-9600 1 The calculator should be set up with rectangular coordinates and in equation editor mode. To complete this setup, press 2ndF SET UP E (COORD) (Note that the alphabet letters are written above and to the right of the access key and can be used directly within the menu) 1 (Rect) G (EDITOR) and 1 (Equation). Press CL to exit the menu and return to the Y prompts. The same sequence of keystrokes can be performed by touching the screen. For example, to set up the calculator in rectangular coordinates, press 2ndF SET UP , and then touch E COORD once and double touch 1 Rect. Linear equations given in a form other than the slope intercept form must be manipulated to isolate the y variable. The calculator will only accept equations of the form y = ___ (where y is defined explicitly in terms of x). To enter the linear equation ( y = 3x + 1 ) for Y1, press 3 X/θ/T/n + 1 . Enter the viewing window range by pressing ZOOM , touching A ZOOM, and double touching 5 Default. This establishes the default viewing ranges for graphing equations. These ranges are -10 < x < 10 and -10 < y < 10. The scale for the x and y axes are 1. To graph another equation, press Y= CL to access and clear the Y1= prompt. Then, enter the next equation, and press GRAPH to view the graph. If the line does not appear in the default viewing window, press ZOOM and double touch 4 OUT to enlarge the viewing window. For future use, please set the zoom factors to 5 by pressing ZOOM , touching B FACTOR, pressing ENTER ENTER 5 ENTER and GRAPH to exit the zoom menu and return to the viewing screen. 2 5 Linear Equations/ALGEBRA USING THE SHARP EL-9600 Method of Teaching Use Blackline Masters 1.1 and 1.2 to create overheads for graphing linear equations and investigating slope. Go over in detail how to graph linear equations, set the default viewing window, zoom out, and how to set the viewing window manually. Next, use the Blackline Masters 1.3 and 1.4 to create worksheets for the students. Have the students graph the linear equations to explore the characteristics of the y intercept, parallel, and perpendicular. Use the topics For Discussion to supplement the worksheets. Using Blackline Master 1.2 Graphing a linear equation, discussed above under Calculator Operations, is presented on Blackline Master 1.1. The following study of slope appears on Blackline Master 1.2. Graph the equation y = 1x by pressing Y= CL to remove an old Y1 expression. To enter the equation press X/θ/T/n . Press ZOOM , touch A ZOOM, and double touch 5 Default to view the graph. Changing the slope to 2 will result in the equation y = 2x. Enter this equation for Y2 by pressing Y= ▼ 2 X/θ/T/n . To view both the graphs on the same coordinate axes, press GRAPH . The equation Y1=X is displayed first, followed by the equation Y2=2X. Notice how the "pitch" of the line has changed, with Y2 becoming more steep or climbing faster. Increasing the size of the slope (m > 1) makes the line more steep. Linear Equations/ALGEBRA USING THE SHARP EL-9600 3 equation for Y2 by pressing Y= ▼ CL 1 a/b 2 ▼ Changing the slope to 1/2 will result in the equation y = 1/2 x. Enter this X/θ/T/n . To view both the graphs on the same coordinate axes, press GRAPH . The equation Y1=X is displayed first, followed by the equation Y2= 1/2 X. Notice how the "pitch" of the line has changed, with Y2 becoming less steep or climbing slower. Decreasing the size of the slope (0 < m < 1) makes the line less steep. Changing the slope to -1 will result in the equation y = -x. Enter this equation for Y2 by pressing Y= , double touch the expression 1/2 x, press CL (–) X/θ/T/n . To view both the graphs on the same coordinate axes, press GRAPH . The equation Y1=X is displayed first, followed by the equation Y2= -X. Notice how the "pitch" of the line has changed, with Y2 decreasing (going down from left to right) instead of increasing (going up from left to right). Negative slopes (m < 0) make the line decrease or go down from left to right. 4 Linear Equations/ALGEBRA USING THE SHARP EL-9600 Increasing or decreasing the descent of a line will follow the pattern set by the discussion of the positive slopes. Slopes between -1 < m < 0 will lessen the descent, whereas slopes m < -1 increase the descent. For Discussion You and your students can discuss how to recognize that lines are the same (coincident) when expressed in different forms. Linear Equations/ALGEBRA USING THE SHARP EL-9600 5 Chapter two QUADRATIC EQUATIONS Introducing the Topic In this chapter, you and your students will learn how to graph quadratic equations and study their characteristics. These characteristics include the rigid translations (up/down, left/right, reflection), the vertex, and non-rigid translations (closing/opening, stretching/shrinking, or pinching/spreading). A quadratic equation of y in terms of x can be expressed by the standard form y = a(x – h)2 + k, where a is the coefficient of the second degree term (y = ax2 + bx + c) and (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola formed by the quadratic equation. An equation where the largest exponent on the independent variable x is 2 is considered a quadratic equation. In graphing quadratic equations on the calculator, we will let the x-variable be represented by the horizontal axis and let y be represented by the vertical axis. Calculator Operations Turn the calculator on and press Y= . Y prompts will appear in the viewing window. Press CL to remove an old Y1 expression. Press ENTER CL to remove an old Y2 expression. Repeat to clear additional Y prompts. The calculator should be setup with rectangular coordinates and in equation editor mode. To complete this setup, press 2ndF SET UP , touch E COORD, double touch 1 Rect, touch G EDITOR, and double touch 1 Equation. Press CL to exit the set-up menu and return to the Y prompts. 6 Quadratic Equations/ALGEBRA USING THE SHARP EL-9600 Quadratic equations given in a form other than the standard form can be manipulated (completing the square) into standard form. This form is used for graph translations and reflections. However, the calculator will accept all quadratic equations of the form y = ___ (where y is defined explicitly in terms of x). To enter the quadratic equation ( y = x2 ) for Y1, press Y= 2 2 EZ , touch 1 2 X , touch A Y=AX , and double touch 2 Y=X . Enter the viewing window range on the screen, and touch 7 Dec. This establishes the decimal viewing window for graphing equations. These ranges are -6.3 < x < ➧ by pressing ZOOM , touch 6.3 and -3.1 < y < 3.1. The scale for the x- and y-axes are 1. When 2 is added to the x2, the resulting equation is y = x 2 + 2. Enter this function using the SUB feature by pressing Y= ▼ EZ , touch 1 X2, double touch B Y=AX2 + B, touch 1 Y=AX2 + B, press 2ndF SUB 1 ENTER 2 ENTER GRAPH . The display shows the graph of this equation and the basic y = x 2. Notice that the addition of 2 moves the basic x 2 graph up two units on the y-axis. This is equivalent to a k of 2 within the standard form y = a(x – h)2 + k. This demonstrates the fact that adding a k > 0 will move the basic graph up k units on the y-axis. Quadratic Equations/ALGEBRA USING THE SHARP EL-9600 7 When -2 is added to the x2, the resulting equation is y = x2 – 2. To change Y2 for this expression, press Y= ▼ 2ndF SUB ENTER (–) 2 ENTER GRAPH . The display shows the graph this equation and the basic y = x 2. Notice that the addition of -2 moves the basic x2 graph down two units on the y-axis. This is equivalent to a k of -2 within the standard form y = a(x – h)2 + k. This demonstrates the fact that adding a k < 0 will move the basic graph down k units on the y-axis. Method of Teaching Use Blackline Masters 2.1 and 2.2 to create overheads for graphing quadratic equations and investigating translations and reflections. Go over in detail how to graph quadratic equations, use the rapid graph feature, the SUB feature, set the decimal viewing window, and use the SHIFT/CHANGE feature. Next, use Blackline Master 2.3 to create a work sheet for the students. Have the students predict the translations and then graph the quadratic equations to verify or correct their prediction. Show the students how to trace to find the vertex of a quadratic equation's graph. Use the topics For Discussion to supplement the worksheets. Using Blackline Master 2.2 Vertical translations were discussed above under Calculator Operations and they are presented on Blackline Master 2.1. The following study of horizontal translations and reflections appears on Blackline Master 2.2. When -2 is added to the x within the squaring operation (x2), the resulting equation is y = (x – 2)2. To view this graph, press 2ndF SHIFT/CHANGE , touch A SHIFT, double touch 2 1 Y=X , double touch at two on the x-axis. The graph, the equation, and the basic y = x2 graph is shown. 8 Quadratic Equations/ALGEBRA USING THE SHARP EL-9600 Notice that the addition of -2 within the quadratic operation moves the basic x 2 graph right two units on the x-axis. This is equivalent to an h of 2 within the standard form y = a(x – h)2 + k. This demonstrates the fact that placing an h > 0 in the standard form, will move the basic graph right h units on the x-axis. When 2 is added to the x within the squaring operation (x 2), the resulting equation is y = (x + 2)2. To view this graph, press 2ndF SHIFT/CHANGE , 2 touch A SHIFT, double touch 1 Y=X , double touch at negative two on the x-axis. The graph, the equation, and the basic y = x2 graph is shown. Notice that the addition of 2 within the quadratic operation moves the basic x 2 graph left two units on the x-axis. This is equivalent to an h of -2 within the standard form y = a(x – h)2 + k. This demonstrates the fact that placing an h < 0 within the standard form will move the basic graph left h units on the x-axis. When 2 is multiplied to the x 2, the resulting equation is y = 2x 2. To view this graph, press 2ndF press ▲ SHIFT/CHANGE , touch B CHANGE, double touch 1 Y=X2, ENTER . The graph, the equation, and the basic y = x 2 graph is shown. Quadratic Equations/ALGEBRA USING THE SHARP EL-9600 9 Notice that the multiplication of 2 pinches or closes the basic x 2 graph. This is equivalent to an a of 2 within the standard form y = a(x – h)2 + k. This demonstrates the fact that multiplying an a > 1 will pinch or close the basic graph. When -2 is multiplied to the x 2, the resultant equation is y = -2x 2. To view this graph, press 2ndF SHIFT/CHANGE , touch B CHANGE, double touch 1 Y=X2, press ▼ ENTER . The graph, the equation, and the basic y = x 2 ▼ ▼ graph is shown. Notice that the multiplication of -2 pinches or closes the basic x 2 graph and flips it (reflects it) across the x-axis. This is equivalent to an a of -2 within the standard form y = a(x – h)2 + k. This demonstrates the fact that multiplying an a < -1 will pinch or close the basic graph and flip it (reflect it) across the x-axis. 10 Quadratic Equations/ALGEBRA USING THE SHARP EL-9600 When 2 divides the x 2, the resulting equation is y = 1/2 x 2. Division by 2 spreads or opens the basic x 2 graph. This is equivalent to an “a” of 1/2 within the standard form y = a(x – h)2 + k. This demonstrates the fact that multiplying an “a” between 0 and 1 will spread or open the basic graph. Also, multiplying an “a” between -1 and 0 will spread or open the basic graph and flip it across the x-axis. For Discussion You and your students can use the trace feature to locate the vertex of the parabola and discover that the point is (h, k). Quadratic Equations/ALGEBRA USING THE SHARP EL-9600 11 Chapter three FORMULAS OR LITERAL EQUATIONS Introducing the Topic In this chapter, you and your students will learn how to use the graphing calculator's solver feature to evaluate formulas or literal equations. The process begins by accessing the solver feature, then entering the equation, assigning values to the known variables, and then solving for the unknown variable. Three solving methods are available within the SOLVER mode. These are the Equation method, Newton's method, and the Graphic method. The default method is the Equation method, which is used when an exact solution can be found by simple substitution. Newton's method can be used for more complicated solutions. It implements an iterative approach to find the solution once its given a starting point. When a starting point is not readily available or multiple solutions are expected, you can use the graphic method. The graphic method plots the left and right sides of the equation and then locates the intersection(s). One very useful feature of the EL-9600 graphing calculator is its ability to store and recall equations. 12 Formulas or Literal Equations/ALGEBRA USING THE SHARP EL-9600 Calculator Operations Turn the calculator on and press 2ndF SOLVER to access the solver feature. A blank screen should appear. If the screen is not blank, then press CL to clear the screen. Select the Equation method for solving by pressing 2ndF SOLVER , and touching A METHOD, and double touching 1 Equation. Enter the formula P = L [ 1 – ( 1 + I/12)–N ] – 1 I/12 I ÷ 1 2 ALPHA I a/b 1 2 ) b ) a (–) 1 . = ALPHA L ( a/b a (–) ALPHA N b 1 ▼ ▼ ALPHA ▼ + P ▼ by pressing ALPHA – ( 1 ALPHA This equation is referred to as the amortization formula, where a loan ( L) with a fixed rate of interest ( I ) is said to be amortized if both the loan and the interest are paid by a sequence of equal monthly payments ( P). The number of equal monthly payments to be made is designated by “N”. Press ENTER to view the variable list. The variables are listed in order of appearance (left to right) with payment ( P) first followed by loan amount ( L), interest rate ( I ), and number of months ( N). Formulas or Literal Equations/ALGEBRA USING THE SHARP EL-9600 13 To find the monthly payment on a $15,000 car loan, made at 9% interest over four years (48 months), enter the values by pressing ▼ ENTER • 0 9 ENTER 4 8 ENTER . Press ▲ payment (P) is now highlighted by the cursor, press 2ndF 1 5 ▲ 0 0 0 ▲ and notice the EXE to solve for the payment. Pressing CL will return you to the variable screen. You can now change or solve for any of the values. Save this formula by pressing 2ndF SOLVER , touching C SAVE, pressing ENTER , and entering the formula name. Give the formula the name AMORT by pressing A (notice the calculator is locked in alpha mode) M O R T ENTER . Method of Teaching Use Blackline Masters 3.1 and 3.2 to create overheads for solving formulas or literal equations. Go over in detail how to enter a formula, enter known quantities, solve for an unknown quantity, and save a formula. Demonstrate how to change to and use the Graphic method for solving. Next, use the Blackline Master 3.3 to create a worksheet for the students. Have the students use the worksheet to enter a formula, select Newton's method, enter the known quantities, and solve for the unknown with an initial guess. Use the topics For Discussion to supplement the worksheets. Using Blackline Master 3.2 Using the Equation method for solving a literal equation was discussed above under Calculator Operations and is presented on Blackline Master 3.1. The following discussion of the Graphic method appears on Blackline Master 3.2. 14 Formulas or Literal Equations/ALGEBRA USING THE SHARP EL-9600 While viewing the variable list within the solver feature, press CL CL to return to and clear the formula entry screen. Select the Graphic method for solving by pressing 2ndF SOLVER , touch A METHOD, and double touch 3 Graphic. ALPHA R ab 2 ▼ Enter the formula V = π r 2h by pressing ALPHA ALPHA V ALPHA = 2ndF π H . This equation is the formula for calculating the volume of a cylinder (V) in terms of the cylinder's height ( H ) and radius ( R ). Press ENTER to view the variable list. The variables are listed in order of appearance (left to right) with volume ( V ) first, followed by radius ( R ) and height ( H ). To find the radius of a cylinder with a volume of 30 cubic inches, and a height of 10 inches, enter the values by pressing 3 0 ENTER ▼ 1 0 ENTER . Press ▲ and notice the radius ( R ) is now highlighted by the cursor. Press 2ndF EXE to solve for the radius. The graphic solver will prompt you for a variable range to solve within. This range should be set to hopefully include the radius you are solving for in the problem. A quick examination of the formula shows that the radius squared will be no larger than 3 (dividing the height that we know). Therefore, one could be too small (12 = 1 < 3) and two is too large (22 = 4 > 3). Use the larger of the values to be safe. So, set the variable range to 0 and 2 by pressing 0 ENTER 2 ENTER . Formulas or Literal Equations/ALGEBRA USING THE SHARP EL-9600 15 Press 2ndF EXE to solve. First, the solver feature will graph the left side of the equation (volume, y = 30). Second, the solver feature will graph the right side of the equation (y = 10 r 2), and then will compute the intersection of the two graphs to find the solution. Pressing CL will return you to the variable screen. You can now change or solve for any of the values. Save this formula by pressing 2ndF SOLVER , touching C SAVE, pressing ENTER , and entering the formula name. Give the formula the name VCYL by pressing V C Y L ENTER . For Discussion You and your students can discuss how to retrieve an equation or formula from the calculator's memory and use it to solve a problem. Also, you can discuss how to rename or delete formulas no longer desired. Additional Problems 1. Payments on a $10,000 loan at 8% over 36 months. 2.

Method of Teaching Use Blackline Masters 6.1 and 6.2 to create overheads for entering matrices, multiplying matrices, finding inverse matrices, and solving systems of equations. Go over in detail the derivation of the matrix solution (presented below), and identity matrices. Next, use Blackline Master 6.3 to create a worksheet for the students. Have the students solve systems of linear equations using matrices. Use the topics For Discussion to supplement the worksheets. Using Blackline Master 6.2 The identity matrix I is defined to be a square matrix (n × n) where each position on the diagonal is 1 and all others are 0. For example, the 3 × 3 identity matrix is: [ ] 1 0 0 =I 0 1 0 0 0 1 The calculator will directly establish an identity matrix of a given size by pressing MATRIX , touching C OPE, double touching 05 identity, and pressing 3 ENTER . To save the identity matrix in matrix C, press STO MATRIX , touch A NAME, touch 3 mat C, and press ENTER . 28 Matrix Solutions To Systems of Linear Equations/ALGEBRA USING THE SHARP EL-9600 Confirm that the identity matrix is stored in matrix C by pressing MATRIX , touching B EDIT, and double touching 3 mat C. Press 2ndF QUIT to exit the matrix editor and press CL to clear the screen. An inverse matrix A–1 is a matrix that when multiplied to A results in the identity matrix I (A–1 × A = I). The graphing calculator can find A–1 quickly. Derivation of A–1 by hand is not discussed here.

The resulting matrix is shown below. to see more of the matrix. Matrix Solutions To Systems of Linear Equations/ALGEBRA USING THE SHARP EL-9600 29 Some square matrices have no inverse and will generate error statements when calculating the inverse. To solve the system of equations x + 2y + z = 8 using matrices: 2x + y – z = 1 x + y – 2z = -3 Use the matrix A entered previously as the coefficient matrix, and enter the constants on the right side of the equal sign into matrix B (3 × 1), where B= [ ] 8 1 -3 Press 2ndF QUIT to exit the display of the B matrix. The solution matrix X is found by multiplying A –1 B. This multiplication is derived from the equation: AX= B A–1 A X = A–1 B (multiply both sides by A–1 ) I X = A–1 B (A–1A = I, identity matrix) X = A–1 B (I X = X ) Note, the multiplication is "order sensitive" and you will not get the correct answer by multiplying B A–1. Multiply A–1 B by pressing MATRIX , touching A NAME, double touching 1 mat A, pressing 2ndF x–1 × MATRIX , double touching 2 mat B, and pressing ENTER . The solution matrix will appear. 30 Matrix Solutions To Systems of Linear Equations/ALGEBRA USING THE SHARP EL-9600 The 1 is the X coordinate, 2 the Y coordinate, and 3 the Z coordinate of the solution point. For Discussion You and your students can discuss why the graphing calculator cannot graph equations of three variables, the derivation of the X = A–1B formula for solving a system of linear equations, the size of the matrix generated by multiplication of two matrices, and multiplication by the identity matrix. Introduce the students to the TOOL feature and its system solver. Blackline Master 6.3 shows the method for solving systems of equations using the TOOL feature. Additional Problems Solve the following systems of equations: 1. x + 2y + 3z = 4 2x – y – 2z = 0 x – 3y – 3z = -2 2. x – y + z = 3 2x – y + z = 4 x + 2y – z = -1 Matrix Solutions To Systems of Linear Equations/ALGEBRA USING THE SHARP EL-9600 31 Chapter seven INEQUALITIES AND SYSTEMS OF INEQUALITIES Introducing the Topic In this chapter you and your students will explore graphical techniques to solve inequalities and systems of inequalities. Graphical solution methods not only offer instructive visualization of the solution process, but they can be applied to inequalities that are often very difficult to solve algebraically. Calculator Operations To solve an inequality means to find all values that make the inequality true. Two methods of finding these values for one-variable inequalities are illustrated in this chapter. The first method involves rewriting the inequality so that the right-hand side of the inequality is 0 and the left-hand side is a function of x. Then, find the solution to f(x) < 0 by determining where the graph of f(x) is below the x-axis, or find the solution to f(x) > 0 by determining where the graph of f(x) is above the x-axis, or find the solution to f(x) ≤ 0 by determining where the graph of f(x) is below or on the x-axis, or find the solution to f(x) ≥ 0 by determining where the graph of f(x) is above or on the x-axis. 32 Inequalities and Systems of Inequalities /ALGEBRA USING THE SHARP EL-9600 For example, to solve 3(4 – 2x) ≥ 5 – x, rewrite it as 3(4 – 2x) – 5 + x ≥ 0 and determine the values of x where the function y = 3(4 – 2x) – 5 + x is on or above the x-axis. To do this, press Y= CL and enter 3(4 – 2X) – 5 + X in the Y1 location. Set the viewing window of the graph by pressing ZOOM , touch A ZOOM, and double touch 5 Default. You should be able to clearly view the x-intercept. Locate the x-intercept at the point (1.4, 0) with the keystrokes TRACE 2ndF CALC , and double touch 5 X_Incpt. Since the graph is above the x-axis to the left of the x-intercept, the solution to the inequality 3(4 – 2x) – 5 + x ≥ 0 is all values of x such that x ≤ 1.4. The second method involves graphing each side of the inequality as an individual function. Then, find the solution to f(x) < g(x) by determining where the graph of f(x) is below the graph of g(x), or find the solution to f(x) > g(x) by determining where the graph of f(x) is above the graph of g(x), or find the solution to f(x) ≤ g(x) by determining where the graph of f(x) is below or intersects the graph of g(x), or find the solution to f(x) ≥ g(x) by determining where the graph of f(x) is above or intersects the graph of g(x). For example, to solve the inequality 3(4 – 2x) ≥ 5 – x, press Y= CL , enter 3(4 – 2X) for Y1 and 5 – X for Y2. Set the viewing window by pressing ZOOM , touching A ZOOM, and double touching 5 Default. Next, shade the set of points that make the inequality true by pressing 2ndF DRAW , touching G SHADE, and double touching 1 Set to access the Set Shade screen. Since the inequality you is "on the bottom." Do this by touching Y2 on the screen, pressing ▼ are solving is Y1 ≥ Y2 the solution is where the graph of Y1 is “on the top” and Y2 , and touching Y1 on the screen. Press GRAPH to view the shaded region. Press TRACE 2ndF CALC , and double touch 2 Intsct to find where the graphs intersect. Inequalities and Systems of Inequalities/ALGEBRA USING THE SHARP EL-9600 33 Since the shaded region is to the left of x = 1.4, the solution to the inequality 3(4 – 2x) ≥ 5 – x is all values of x such that x ≤ 1.4. Double Inequalities The solution to a system of two inequalities in one variable consists of all values of the variable that make each inequality in the system true. A system such as 2x – 5 ≥ -1 { 2x – 5 ≤ 7 , where the same expression appears on both inequalities, is commonly referred to as a “double” inequality and is often written in the form –1 ≤ 2x – 5 ≤ 7. Be certain that students notice the order of the inequality signs and that the double inequality is only used to indicate an expression in x “trapped” in between two values. Unless both inequality signs are pointing in the same direction, the double inequality expression is meaningless and should not be used. Also, by the transitive property of inequalities, a must be less than or equal to b in the inequality a ≤ f(x) ≤ b or b ≥ f(x) ≥ a. Turn off the shading by pressing 2ndF DRAW , touching G SHADE, and double touching 2 INITIAL. To clear any previously entered functions press Y= CL . Enter Y1 = –1, Y2 = 2X – 5, and Y3 = 7. Press ZOOM , touch A ZOOM, and double touch 5 Default to view the line y = 2x – 5 between the lines y = -1 and y = 7. 34 Inequalities and Systems of Inequalities/ALGEBRA USING THE SHARP EL-9600 Press TRACE 2ndF CALC , double touch 2 Intsct to find the point of intersection of the lines y = 2x – 5 and y = –1 at (2, -1). Press ▲ to move the tracer to the y = 7 line. Press 2ndF CALC and double touch 2 Intsct to find y = 2x – 5 and y = 7 at (6, 7). The solution to the “double” inequality -1 ≤ 2x – 5 ≤ 7 consists of all values of x in between, and including, 2 and 6 (i.e., x ≥ 2 and x ≤ 6). The solution is 2 ≤ x ≤ 6. Systems of Two-Variable Inequalities The solution region of a system of two-variable inequalities consists of all points (a, b) such that when x = a and y = b, all inequalities in the system are true. For example, to graph the solution region for the system { 2xx ++ yy ≤≥ 11 2 , first rewrite each inequality in the system so that the left-hand-side is y: { yy ≥≤ 11 –– x2x 2 Press Y= CL and enter 1 – 2X in Y1 and 1 – X2 in Y2. Next, shade the points that have a y-value less than Y2 and greater than Y1. Do this by pressing 2ndF press ▼ DRAW , touching G SHADE, double touching 1 Set, touch Y1 on the screen, , and touch Y2 on the screen. Graph the system by pressing ZOOM , ➧ touching A ZOOM, touching on the screen, and touching 7 Dec. Method of Teaching Use Blackline Master 7.1 to create an overhead or handout for using the first method to graphically solve an inequality. Remind students of the proper algebraic procedure to write the inequality in the form f(x) < 0. Next, use Blackline Master 7.2 to create an overhead or handout for using the second Inequalities and Systems of Inequalities/ALGEBRA USING THE SHARP EL-9600 35 method to graphically solve an inequality. Demonstrate the process of entering the left- and right-hand sides of the inequality in the Y1 and Y2 locations and the process for shading the solution. When using Blackline Master 7.3, discuss the meaning of a “double” inequality and its definition in terms of a system of two single-variable inequalities. Use Blackline Master 7.4 to create an overhead or handout for solving a system of two-variable inequalities. Emphasize that while the solution to a single-variable inequality is one dimensional, the solution to a system of inequalities in two variables is a region of points. Use Blackline Master 7.5 to create a worksheet for the students. Have the students choose either method to solve the inequalities in Problem 3. Use the topics For Discussion to supplement the worksheets. Using Blackline Master 7.5 The first method for solving an inequality is presented on Blackline Master 7.1. The second method for solving an inequality is presented on Blackline Master 7.2. The method for solving a double inequality is presented on Blackline Master 7.3. The method for solving a system of two-variable inequalities is presented on Blackline Master 7.4. Use Blackline Master 7.5 to create a worksheet for the students to practice what they have learned with Blackline Masters 7.1-4. For Discussion Discuss the use of the “free-moving” cursor to graphically determine if a specific point is in the solution region of a system of two-variable inequalities. After viewing the shaded solution region for the system of inequalities, determine if a point (x, y) is a solution by pressing the arrow keys and moving the cursor to the approximate location of the point and see if it is within the shaded region. Viewing the region using the decimal window or multiples of those settings allows for exact free-moving cursor location of most points. Students should also algebraically confirm that the point (x, y) satisfies both inequalities by substituting those values in the original inequalities. 36 Inequalities and Systems of Inequalities/ALGEBRA USING THE SHARP EL-9600 Additional Problems 1.

Inequalities and Systems of Inequalities/ALGEBRA USING THE SHARP EL-9600 37 Chapter eight ABSOLUTE VALUE FUNCTIONS, EQUATIONS, AND INEQUALITIES Introducing the Topic This chapter provides a brief introduction to the absolute value function and discusses methods to graphically solve equations and inequalities involving the absolute value function. Calculator Operations The absolute value of a real number x is defined by the following: |x| = x if x ≥ 0 { –x if x ≤ 0. The symbol for absolute value is found in the MATH menu. When using the EQUATION editor, the absolute value appears just as we write it on paper, | |. Press Y= CL to clear the Y1 prompt. Press ENTER CL to clear the remaining prompts. Enter the function f(x) = |x| in Y1 by pressing MATH , touching B NUM, double touching 1 abs( , and pressing X/θ/T/n . View the ➧ graph by pressing ZOOM , touching A ZOOM, touching on the screen, and touching 7 Dec. 38 Absolute Value Functions, Equations, and Inequalities/ALGEBRA USING THE SHARP EL-9600 Notice, by the definition of this function with reinforcement from the graphical view, that the domain of f(x) = |x| is the set of all real numbers and the range is the set of non-negative real numbers. Absolute Value Equations If n is a positive number, there are two solutions to the equation |f(x)| = n because there are exactly two numbers with the absolute value equal to n: n and -n. The existence of two distinct solutions is clear when the equation is solved graphically. For example, to solve |5 – 4x| = 6, press Y= CL to clear the Y1 prompt. Enter |5 – 4x| in Y1 with the keystrokes MATH , touch B NUM, double touch 1 abs( , and press 5 – 4 X/θ/T/n . Next, press ENTER CL 6 to enter 6 in Y2. Press ZOOM , touch A ZOOM, double touch 5 Default to view the two points of intersection of the absolute value graph and the horizontal line y = 6. Press TRACE 2ndF CALC and double touch 2 Intsct to find one point of intersection of the two graphs. Press 2ndF CALC and double touch 2 Intsct again to find the other point of intersection. Absolute Value Functions, Equations, and Inequalities/ALGEBRA USING THE SHARP EL-9600 39 Therefore, the solution to the equation |5 – 4x| = 6 consists of the two values -0.25 and 2.75. Note that although it is not as intuitively obvious, the solution could also be obtained by finding the x-intercepts of the function y = |5x – 4| – 6. Absolute Value Inequalities Absolute value inequalities are of the form |f(x)| < k, |f(x)| ≤ k, |f(x)| > k, or |f(x)| ≥ k. The graphical solution to an absolute value inequality is found using either method discussed in Chapter 7. (6x) To solve 20 – < 8 using the first method, rewrite the inequality so that the 5 (6x) right-hand side of the inequality is zero: 20 – – 8 < 0. 5 Choose a viewing window by pressing WINDOW ▼ ▼ ▼ Press Y= and clear all the Y prompts. Enter the left-hand side of the inequality 20 – (6x) – 8 in Y1 by pressing MATH , touching B NUM, double touching 5 – 8 . 1 abs( , pressing 2 0 – a/b 6 X/θ/T/n 5 EZ , double touching 6 on the screen, double touching 4 –5<X<50, and double touching 4 –10<Y<10. The x-intercepts of the graph are clearly visible. 40 Absolute Value Functions, Equations, and Inequalities/ALGEBRA USING THE SHARP EL-9600 Press TRACE and move right of the right intercept. Press 2ndF double touch 5 X_Incpt to find the first x-intercept. Press 2ndF CALC and CALC and touch 5 X_Incpt to find the second x-intercept. Since the graph is below the x-axis for x in between the two x-intercepts, the solution is 10 < x < 23.333. To use the second method to solve the inequality |3.5x + 4| > 10, first press Y= CL to clear the Y1 prompt. Press ENTER CL to clear additional prompts. Enter the function |3.5x + 4| in Y1 by pressing MATH , touching B NUM, double touching 1 abs( , and pressing 3 ENTER . Enter 10 in Y2 by pressing 1 • 5 X/θ/T/n + 4 0 . Access the Set Shade screen by pressing 2ndF DRAW , touching G SHADE, on the screen, and since Y1 is the function "on the top," press ▼ and double touching 1 SET. Since Y2 is the function "on the bottom," touch Y2 and touch Y1 on the screen. Choose a viewing window by pressing WINDOW EZ , double touching 2 on the screen, double touching 5 –10<X<10, and double touching 3 –5<Y<50. Absolute Value Functions, Equations, and Inequalities/ALGEBRA USING THE SHARP EL-9600 41 Press TRACE 2ndF CALC , double touch 2 Intsct to locate a point of intersection. Repeat to find the other. The intersections are (-4, 10) and (1.714, 10). The solution of the inequality |3.5x + 4| ≥ 10 is all values of x such that x ≤ –4 or x ≥ 1.714. Method of Teaching Use Blackline Masters 8.1 and 8.2 to create overheads or handouts for investigating the absolute value function. Next, use Blackline Masters 8.3, 8.4 and 8.5 to create overheads or handouts for graphically solving absolute value equations and inequalities. Blackline Master 8.6 should be used to create a worksheet for students. Students should choose either method for solving the absolute value inequalities. Pay careful attention to the written form of the answer. Use the topics For Discussion to supplement the worksheets. Using Blackline Master 8.1 Use Blackline Master 8.1 to demonstrate how to evaluate an absolute value on the home or computation screen. The students will then graph y = |x|, followed by graphing y = |x – 1| and y = |x|– 1. Discuss with them the effect on the graph of y = |x| when 1 is subtracted from the x-term (y = |x – 1|) and when 1 is subtracted from the function (y = |x|– 1). Blackline Masters 8.3, 8.4 and 8.5 are discussed above under Calculator Operation. 42 Absolute Value Functions, Equations, and Inequalities/ALGEBRA USING THE SHARP EL-9600 For Discussion You and your students can use the calculator, with its SHIFT/CHANGE and SUB features, to explore for specific values of A, B, and C in the function y = A|x + B| + C: 1. the effect of the value of A on the graph of the absolute value function, 2. the effect of the value of B on the graph of the absolute value function, and 3. the effect of the value of C on the graph of the absolute value function. Include positive, negative, integer, and fractional values of A, B, and C in your discussion, and have the students look for patterns in the graphs as one constant is changed and the others remain fixed. Additional Problems 1. Is |-2+7| = |-2| + |7|? Evaluate each side of the equation to check your answer. Is |x+y| = |x| + |y| for all real numbers x and y? If not, when will |x+y| = |x| + |y|? 2.

Calculator Operations p(x) A rational function f(x) is defined as the quotient q(x) where p(x) and q(x) are two polynomial functions such that q(x) ≠ 0. The domain of any rational function consists of all values of x such that the denominator q(x), is not zero. A rational function consists of branches separated by vertical asymptotes, and the values of x that make the denominator q(x) = 0 but do not make the numerator p(x) = 0 are where the vertical asymptotes occur. ▼ (x–1) Consider the rational function f(x) = (x 2–1). Press Y= CL to clear the Y1 (x–1) prompt. Press ENTER CL to clear additional Y prompts. Enter Y1 = (x 2–1) 2 by pressing a/b X/θ/T/n – 1 X/θ/T/n x – 1 . Graph in the screen, and double touching 7 Dec. 44 Rational Functions/ALGEBRA USING THE SHARP EL-9600 ➧ decimal window by pressing ZOOM , touching A ZOOM, touching on the (x–1) Notice that since f(x) can be written as (x+1) (x–1), the domain consists of all real numbers x such that x ≠ 1 and x ≠ -1. The function consists of two branches separated by the vertical asymptote (the line x = -1). However, there is no vertical asymptote where x = 1 since this value of x also makes the numerator move the tracer to the coordinates X= 0.9, Y= 0.5263. Press ▼ TRACE to place the tracer in the center of the screen. Press ▼ zero. Look closely at the graph and observe the “hole” in it at x = 1. Press repeatedly to to see that the this rational function. Press ▼ calculator does not display a value for Y at X = 1 since 1 is not in the domain of once more and observe that the displayed coordinates are X= 1.1, Y= 0.48. Note that the hole will be seen only when the window is a "friendly" or decimal window. This means you can trace to the exact x–value. (For instance, if you graphed this function in a window of -5 ≤ x ≤ 5, x = 1 is not one of the possible trace values for x and the hole will not be seen.) The x-intercepts of a rational function f(x), if there are any, occur at the x-values that make the numerator p(x), but not the denominator q(x), zero. The y-intercept occurs at f(0). Notice that there are no x-intercepts for the graph of (x–1) f(x) = 2 . The y-intercept can easily be found at x = 0, y = 1 by pressing 2ndF (x –1) CALC and double touching 6 Y_Incpt. Rational functions also have horizontal asymptotes, lines of the form y = k (k a constant) such that the function gets arbitrarily close to, but does not cross, the horizontal asymptote when |x| is large. (Some rational functions composed of higher-degree polynomials might cross horizontal asymptotes for small values of x.). Rational functions may also have an oblique asymptote, a line that is neither horizontal nor vertical, but which the function gets closer and closer to, but does not touch, as |x| gets very large. Algebraic methods for finding the equations of horizontal and oblique asymptotes are covered in most algebra texts and are not given in this chapter. Rational Functions/ALGEBRA USING THE SHARP EL-9600 45 (x–1) Students can observe from the graph of f(x) = (x2–1) y = 0 is very likely a horizontal asymptote of f(x). that the line Rational Function Inequalities Inequalities involving rational functions are traditionally solved algebraically using sign charts. However, the graphical process of solving rational function inequalities is the same as solving other inequalities. Simply use either method discussed in Chapters 7 and 8. x For instance, to solve the inequality 1 – x2 ≤ 2 using the second method (intersection method with shading), press Y= CL to clear the Y1 prompt. B NUM, double touching 1 abs( , pressing a/b x 2 ENTER . Enter 2 in Y2 by pressing 2 Press 2ndF X/θ/T/n ▼ Enter the left-hand side of the inequality in Y1 by pressing MATH , touching 1 – X/θ/T/n ENTER . DRAW touch G SHADE, double touch 1 SET to access the Set Shade the screen first, press ▼ screen. Since Y1 is the value “on the bottom” (the smaller of the two), touch Y1 on , and since Y2 is the function “on the top” (the larger of the two), touch Y2 on the screen second. View the graph by pressing ZOOM , ➧ touching A ZOOM, touching on the screen, and double touching 7 Dec. Press 2ndF CALC and double touch 2 Intsct to locate the x-value of the leftmost point of intersection, x = -1.281. Press 2ndF CALC and touch 2 Intsct, three more times to locate the x-values of the other three points of intersection of Y1 and Y2: x = -0.781, 0.781, and 1.281. The solution is all values of x such that x ≤ -1.281 or -0.781 ≤ x ≤ 0.781 or x ≥ 1.281. Turn off the shading by pressing 2ndF 46 DRAW , touching G SHADE, and double touching 2 INITIAL. Rational Functions/ALGEBRA USING THE SHARP EL-9600 Method of Teaching Use Blackline Masters 9.1 and 9.2 to create overheads or handouts for investigating rational functions and the solution to rational inequalities. Explain horizontal and vertical asymptotes and how to find the equation of a vertical asymptote. The number of branches students should expect to see on the graph of a rational function is one more than the number of vertical asymptotes. Students should therefore always determine the number of vertical asymptotes to know when they are viewing a complete graph of a rational function. Next, use Blackline Master 9.3 to create overheads or handouts for graphing rational functions and graphically solving inequalities involving rational functions. Use the topics For Discussion to supplement the worksheets. Using Blackline Master 9.3 Graphing rational functions and inequalities was discussed under Calculator Operations and presented on Blackline Masters 9.1 and 9.2. In Activity 1, the instructions for entering the left- and right-hand sides of the rational inequality are given. After entering the rational expression in Y1 and 2 screen first, press ▼ in Y2, have the students shade. Since Y2 is "on the bottom," touch Y2 on the , and since Y1 is the function "on the top," touch Y1 on the screen second. Before the graph is drawn, have the students discuss what they expect to see: an x-intercept at x = 0 and two vertical asymptotes at x = -2 and x = 2 giving three branches for the rational function. Graph in the decimal window, changing y-max to 6.2 to provide a good view of the graph. Rational Functions/ALGEBRA USING THE SHARP EL-9600 47 In Activity 2, have students discuss in groups what they should expect to see for (x–3) the graph of the rational function y = 2 before drawing the graph. If (x –5x +6) necessary, remind students that when a common factor appears in both the numerator and denominator of a rational function, that factor results in a hole in the graph, not a vertical asymptote. (x–3) (x–3) Since (x2–5x +6) = (x–2) (x–3) , the graph should have two branches since there is only one vertical asymptote, the line x = 2. There is a hole in the graph at x = 3. Also have students verify by pressing TRACE 2ndF CALC and double touching 5 X_Incpt, that there are no x-intercepts for this rational function. Have them view the graph in the decimal viewing window and then zoom out horizontally by setting Xmin to -25 and Xmax to 25 with Xscl= 5 to estimate from the graphs that the line y = 0 is very likely a horizontal asymptote. For Discussion Use the rapid window and trace features to explore the graph of a rational function near a vertical asymptote. For instance, after completing Blackline Master 9.1, have the students redraw the graph by pressing WINDOW ➧ touching 5, touching on the screen, double touching 7 –5<X<5, and double touching 4 –10<Y<10. 48 Rational Functions/ALGEBRA USING THE SHARP EL-9600 EZ , ▼ Next, have them press TRACE and press repeatedly to move the tracer along the graph. Observe the y-values as the graph begins to scroll vertically, going up to the point (-0.95, 21) and then jumping down to the other branch at (-1.03, -31.5). Additional Problems 1. a. Graph the rational function f(x) =(x–3) . x b. What is the domain of f(x)? c. Give the equation(s) of the vertical asymptote(s) of f(x). d. Find the x- and y-intercepts of f(x). e.

This chapter illustrates how to graph conic sections called parabolas, circles, ellipses, and hyperbolas. The parametric mode of the calculator is discussed in the procedure for graphing parabolas. Calculator Operations Parabolas Quadratic functions of the form y = ax2 + bx + c and their graphs were discussed in Chapter 2. The graphs of quadratic equations are called parabolas. Sometimes the quadratic equations take on the form of x = ay2 + by + c. Consider, for example, drawing the graph of x = y2 – 2. There is a problem entering this equation in the calculator graphing list for two reasons: a) it is not a function, and only functions can be entered in the Y= list locations, and b) the functions entered in the Y= list must be in terms of x, not y. There are, however, two methods you can use to draw the graph of a parabola whose equation does not represent a function: 50 Conic Sections/ALGEBRA USING THE SHARP EL-9600 Method 1: Consider the “top” and “bottom” halves of the parabola as two different parts of the graph because each individually is a function. Solve the equation of the parabola for y and enter the two parts (that individually are functions) in two locations of the Y= list. Method 2: Choose the parametric graphing mode of the calculator and enter the parametric equations of the parabola. Let’s use both methods to graph the parabola x = y2 – 2. To use Method 1, first solve the equation for y: x = y2 – 2 x + 2 = y2 y = ± √(x+2) The graph of the equation y = √ (x+2) is the “top half” of the parabola and the graph of the equation y = – √(x+2) gives the “bottom half.” Press Y= CL to clear the Y1 prompt. Press ENTER CL to clear additional prompts. Enter √(x+2) in Y1 with the keystrokes 2ndF √ X/θ/T/n + 2 . Press ENTER and enter -Y1= – √ (x+2) in Y2with the keystrokes (–) VARS , touch A EQVARS, press ENTER , and double touch 1 Y1. View the graph by ➧ pressing ZOOM , touching A ZOOM, touching on the screen, and double touching 7 Dec. When using Method 2 to draw the graph, it is not necessary to algebraically solve the equation for y. Change to parametric mode by pressing 2ndF SET UP , touch E COORD, and double touch 2 Param. Press 2ndF to exit the set–up screen. Press Y= QUIT CL to clear the X1T prompt. Conic Sections/ALGEBRA USING THE SHARP EL-9600 51 Parametric representations are equation pairs (x = F(t), y = F(t)) that have X and Y each expressed in terms of a third parameter, T. To rewrite x = y2 – 2 in parametric form, simply let y = T and substitute in x = y2 –2 to obtain x = T2– 2. Enter X1T = T2– 2 in the calculator by pressing X/θ/T/n x2 – 2 ENTER . (Notice that in parametric mode, pressing X/θ/T/n produces T, not X.) Enter Y1T = T by pressing X/θ/T/n . View the graph by pressing ZOOM , ➧ touch A ZOOM, touch on the screen, and double touch 7 Dec. press TRACE and ▼ Notice that only half of the parabola is drawn. To understand why this occurs, to move the tracer right. The tracer starts at T=0 and increases. Substitute T=0 in X1T and Y1T to obtain X1T= -2 and Y1T=0. This is the first point graphed by the calculator. To see the rest of the parabola, press WINDOW and adjust the Tmin. Set Tmin to -6 by pressing (–) 6 ENTER . The Tstp determines how much T changes before the next point is plotted on the graph. Even though the dimensions of the viewing screen are still controlled by Xmin, Xmax, Ymin, and Ymax, the T settings determine the number of points that are plotted. Press GRAPH to view the complete parabola. 52 Conic Sections/ALGEBRA USING THE SHARP EL-9600 Circles The standard form of a circle of radius r, centered at the origin, is x 2 + y 2 = r 2. To graph the circle x 2 + y 2 = 4 using Method 1, first return to the rectangular graphing mode by pressing 2ndF SET UP , touching E COORD, double touching 1 Rect, and pressing 2ndF QUIT . Press Y= CL to clear the Y1 4 – prompt. Enter Y1= √ (4 – X ) (the top half) by pressing 2ndF √ 2 ENTER and then enter Y2 = – √(4 – X2) (the bottom half) by (–) VARS , touch A EQVARS, press ENTER , touch A XY, and x2 X/θ/T/n pressing CL double touch 1 Y1. View the graph by pressing ZOOM , touching A ZOOM, ➧ touching on the screen, and double touching 7 Dec. The standard equation of a circle of radius r that is centered at a point (h, k) is (x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r 2. In order to put an equation in standard form so that you can use entry method 1, it is necessary to solve the equation for y. You therefore need to use the process of completing the square. Notice that it is only necessary to complete the square on the y-term in order to enter the equation in the Y= list. For instance, in order to draw the graph of the circle x 2 – 2x + y 2 + 4y = 2, proceed as follows: x 2 – 2x + y 2 + 4y = 2 Place all variable terms on the left and the constant term on the right-hand side of the equation. 2 2 x – 2x + y + 4y + 4 = 2 + 4 Complete the square on the y-term. x 2 – 2x + (y+2)2 = 6 Express the terms in y as a perfect square. 2 2 (y+2) = 6 – x + 2x Leave only the term involving y on the left hand side. y + 2 = ± √(6 – x + 2x) Take the square root of both sides. y = ± √ (6 – x 2 + 2x) –2 Solve for y. 2 Conic Sections/ALGEBRA USING THE SHARP EL-9600 53 Notice that if you enter Y1 = √(6 – x 2 + 2x) –2 and Y2 = -Y1, you will not get the graph of a circle because the “±” does not go with the “-2". To avoid a lot of keystrokes, enter Y1 = √(6 – x 2 + 2x), Y2 = Y1 – 2 and Y3 = -Y1 – 2. You now have the top portion and the bottom portion of the circle in Y2 and Y3. Since these are the only two functions you want to graph, “turn off” Y1 so that it will not graph ▼ by pressing ▲ to move the blinking cursor to the Y1 expression. Press to position the blinking cursor over the = sign, and press ENTER so that “=” is no ➧ longer darkened. Press ZOOM , touch on the screen, and double touch 7 Dec. This is not a very good graph. We must adjust the screen to see the bottom part of the circle. Do this using the rapid zoom feature by pressing EZ , double touching ▼ on the bottom of the screen twice, and double touching ▼ on the top of the screen twice. Press GRAPH to view the graph in the new window. The circle looks like a circle because it is displayed in the decimal window. Adjusting this window equivalently will keep the window "friendly" and a circle will appear as a circle. Also, zooming in or out from the decimal window will also keep the window "friendly."(The small separation on the sides is unavoidable in some views.) 54 Conic Sections/ALGEBRA USING THE SHARP EL-9600 Method 2, parametric graphing, is not discussed in this chapter for conics other than parabolas. Parametric graphing of circles, ellipses, and hyperbolas is possible, but the method requires a knowledge of trigonometry. Ellipses The standard equation for an ellipse whose center is at the point (h, k) with 2 2 major and minor axes of length a and b is (x – h) + (y – k) = 1. a2 b2 Method 1 for graphing using the function mode is exactly the same as the circle: you must solve for y, completing the square if necessary, and enter the “top” half and the “bottom” half in two locations of the Y= list. Hyperbolas The standard equation for a hyperbola can take one of two forms: (x – h)2 (y – k)2 – = 1 with vertices at (h ± a, k) or a2 b2 2 2 (x – k) (x – h) – = 1 with vertices at (h, k ± b). 2 b a2 Method 1 for graphing using the function mode is exactly the same as the circle and the ellipse: you must solve for y and enter the “top” half and the “bottom” half in two locations of the Y= list. Solving for y will involve completing the square if the equation is not in the standard form. Method of Teaching Use Blackline Master 10.1 to create an overhead or handout for investigating graphing of parabolas using function graphing and parametric graphing. Next, use Blackline Master 10.2 to create an overhead or handout describing the procedure to graph a circle. Blackline Master 10.3 should be used to create a worksheet for students. Use the topics For Discussion to supplement the worksheet. Using Blackline Master 10.3 For problem 3 on Blackline Master 10.3, students may prefer not to complete the square and graph this parabola in parametric mode by letting Y1T=T and X1T = 4 – 2T+T2. For problem 4 on Blackline Master 10.3, students should complete the square on the y-term to obtain y 2 – 6y + 9 = x 2 + 2x + 3 + 9 and then (y–3) 2 = x 2 + 2x + 12. Then graph the hyperbola using rectangular coordinates with Conic Sections/ALGEBRA USING THE SHARP EL-9600 55 Y1= (x 2 +2x + 12), Y2 = Y1 + 3, and Y3 = –Y1 + 3. (They should turn Y1 off before graphing.) Zoom out several times from a decimal window to view the graph. For Discussion Review the procedure for completing the square on the y-term so that the equation representing a circle, ellipse, or hyperbola can be solved for y and entered in the Y= list. Additional Problems 1. Use rectangular mode to graph x – y 2 = 4. 2. Use parametric mode to graph y 2 + x + 1 = 0.
