CG601 Drawing a ‘dynamic’ graph
This short video shows how to draw an animated ‘dynamic’ graph showing the effect of changing a parameter upon the graph of a function, using the Dyna Graph app of a CASIO fx-CG series graphics calculator. CG20 AU and CG50 AU versions presented. In particular, the effect of changing the gradient value “m” in a linear function of the form y=mx+c is addressed.
CG514 Finding x and y values using a graph
This short video shows how to determine a function’s x and y values from its graph, using the Graph app of a CASIO fx-CG series graphics calculator. CG20 AU and CG50 AU versions presented.
CG515 Changing a graph’s View Window
This short video shows how to change a graph’s View Window, using the Graph app of a CASIO fx-CG series graphics calculator, and discusses some of the advantages and disadvantages of different View Window settings. CG20 AU and CG50 AU versions are presented.
CG115 Performing trigonometric calculations
This short video shows how to perform trigonometric calculations using the Run-Matrix app of a CASIO fx-CG series graphics calculator in order to solve simple trigonometric equations. CG20 AU and CG50 AU versions are presented.
CGA21 Finding the roots of polynomials
This short video shows how to find the roots of a polynomial function up to degree 6, using the Equation app of a CASIO fx-CG series graphics calculator. CG20 AU and CG50 AU versions presented.
CGC11 Calculating loan repayments
This short video shows how to calculate loan repayments on a reducing balance, compound interest loan using the Financial app of a CASIO fx-CG series graphics calculator. CG20 AU and CG50 AU versions presented.
CG223 Fitting a regression model to bivariate data
This short video shows how to generate a regression model of “best fit” for bivariate data via a scatterplot drawn using the Statistics app of a CASIO fx-CG series graphics calculator. CG20 AU and CG50 AU versions presented.
CGA31 Solving an equation
This short video shows how to solve ‘any’ equation using the numerical solver in the Equation app of a CASIO fx-CG series graphics calculator. CG20 AU and CG50 AU versions presented. Changing the ‘seed’ to obtain an alternative solution, and the graphical representation of multiple solutions, is included.
CGA32 Solving for unknowns in formulae
This short video shows how to find the value of an unknown, via the substitution of known values into a formula and the use of the numerical Solver in the Equation app of a CASIO fx-CG series graphics calculator. CG20 AU and CG50 AU versions presented.
