A few questions: - LodSb - 03-29-2022 05:55 PM
1) How would I solve a system of equations to find the intersecting points of a circle and a line? If I use the solve app, it only gives me the points for one intersection, of the two that there are. Any idea how I would do this?
2) Is there a way I can covert back and fourth between decimal and scientific notation? I have seen multiple apps, but I'm not sure which one is the best, or most up to date.
3) Is there a way to analyze graphs to get stuff like the focal point or directrix of a parabola?
4) Is there a way to get the Fcn option that is available in the Function app to also show up in the Advanced Graphing app?
5) Is there a guide online or here somewhere for what all of the options do? I'm a pretty new user to this calculator and would like to learn more about it.

Two of the built-in apps come to mind. With the Advanced Graphing app, this could be done by
- entering “(X-2)^2+(Y-2)^2=5” and “2*X+Y=4” for V1 and V2 (in the Symbolic view) and then
- going to the Plot view and selecting Trace / PoI / Intersections with V2 (assuming the trace cursor is on V1; the d-pad can be used to go between the two intersections); or, to see the values in a table:
- go to the Numeric view and select Trace / PoI / Intersections of V1 and V2 . (The app only scans the current plot area, so you’ll want to first ensure both intersections are visible in the Plot view.)

With the Geometry app, this could be done by
- going to the Plot view and selecting Cmds / Plot / Implicit and entering “(x-2)^2+(y-2)^2=5”, selecting Cmds / Plot / Implicit and entering “2x+y=4”, (to bring up the two curves)
- selecting Cmds / Point / Intersections, picking one curve & pressing Enter, picking the other curve & pressing Enter, (to add the intersection points)
- going to the CAS view and evaluating “GC”; “GC(1)” will give the first point and “GC(2)” will give the second.
The Symbolic view, after interacting with the Plot view:

What about simply using solve in cas:
solve([((x-2)^2+(y-2)^2) = 5,(2*x+y) = 4],[x,y])
which provides
[x = ((1/5)*(sqrt(21)+6)),y = ((-2/5)*(sqrt(21)+6)+4)],[x = ((1/5)*(-sqrt(21)+6)),y = ((-2/5)*(-sqrt(21)+6)+4)]
so both intersections.
