Graphic Calculators

When I try to graph a trigonometric function like Y=sin(X), the graph on my calculator appears as a straight line. What do I need to do to produce the graph of a sine wave?

This problem occurs when the calculator's angle mode is not correct for the current input/output graph range settings. You need to change the x-min, x-max, y-min, y-max, and other settings on the calculator's View Window to match the output range you want. You can perform on your calculator to initialize View Window settings so they are compatible with the currently selected angle mode.

Does a USB cable come with the fx-CG Series to connect it to the computer?

Can I run program made using a conventional CASIO graphing calculator with the ClassPad?

No. You cannot run program made using a conventional CASIO graphing calculator with the ClassPad.

When I select an equation in Conic Graphs, I noticed the modify option; what does that do?

The modify option allows you to change the coefficients for in your equation. One way to do this is to use the right and left arrow buttons. When pressing those buttons, the coefficient that is highlighted (in magenta and with an arrow next to it) will change, based on the step value. Another way to change the coefficient values is type in your own value and press. This will change the highlighted coefficient, without regards to the step value.

Can I display more than one statistical graph at a time?

Yes! You can display up to three statistical graphs at a time. To do this, from the main Statistics screen, press (GRAPH), then (SELECT). Select which graphs you would like to display at the same time and press (DRAW).

In the graph scientific calculator, can you draw the expression of any type?

You can use the Graph mode to draw a graph for the following types of expressions: rectangular coordinate expression, polar coordinate expression, parametric function, inequality.

Can I change the color of the points in my scatter plot?

Anytime you would like to change the color of a graph, a shape, or points, press [SHIFT] [5] (Format).

How do I conditionally format the cells in the Spreadsheet mode?

Once you've entered your data in the Spreadsheet mode, press for more options, then you will see (CONDIT). Arrow down to Expre to change the settings to the formatting that you would like, based on the options across the bottom of the screen. Again, make note that you can press to view more options.

When the fx-CG Series is connected to a computer will it display like my calculator?

The "Screen Receiver" feature (that utilizes the USB connection) allows the exact, full-color screen to be displayed.
