Transformation graphing allows you to observe the effects of changing coefficient values
without leaving the graph screen.
Transformation graphing will affect only the function being graphed.
It is not available in parametric, polar, or sequence graphing.
You can manipulate up to four coefficients on the graph: A, B, C, and D.
Any other coefficients act like constraints and use the value in memory.

Select the application.
You will see this. If you don't see this screen, then it is active and just press 2: Continue.
Press . Make sure you are in Func mode. Press A + B + C to enter the expression .
Press to display the SETTINGS screen. >\|\| on the second line reflects the Transformation Graphing play type you selected on the screen. Use the down cursor to enter values for A,B,C.
Press 6. The graph screen is displayed automatically. The selected function and the current values of the coefficients A, B, and C are shown.
Whichever coefficient is highlighted will be changed and the graph redrawn by pressing .You can use the up and down cursor to move among the coefficients.
You can also use the cursor to change all of the variables to whatever values you wish to see the resulting graph for. Highlight the coefficient and then enter the number you want.
The Graph Format screen has an extra setting: TrailOff or TrailOn.The default setting is Off.
TrailOn shows the effect of changing the value of a coefficient by leaving a dotted shadow of the previous graphs.
