ClassPad Report

Graph with domain

This is a short report showing how to graph the domain of a function.

With

We can use ‘with ( | )’ function to show the domain when we graph.

When the function is,

f(x)=xdomain x<-1
-xdomain –1<=x<=1
1domain 1<x

the graph is below.


When we type –1<x and x<1, the ClassPad automatically changes it to –1<x<1. BUT we CAN NOT draw the graph.

This is a poor specification that Classpad should improve.

I’m sorry to say such a negative comment about the ClassPad. But I love the ClassPad and I’m sure the engineers listen to us and improve the software.

Piecewise

Piecewise function enables us to draw a graph with domain.


When the function is,

f(x)=xdomain x<-1
-xdomain –1<=x<=1
1domain 1<x

we can also use piecewise function.

When we use the piecewise function, the graphs are connected to each other. And we can use the domain –1<x<1. Thank you ClassPad!
