2. If the function you are inserting is visible in the list, select it and press to insert it. If the function is not visible: a) Press a letter key to jump to the entries that begin with that letter. c) Click a numbered tab to list functions by category: math functions, symbols, math templates, library objects, and value for standard measurement units (CAS). d) Press to insert the item into the entry line.
Using an expression template
Templates help you enter matrices, piecewise functions, systems of equations, integrals, derivatives, products, and other math expressions.
For example, suppose you want to evaluate
1. Select to insert the algebraic sum template.
The template appears on the entry line with small blocks representing elements that you can enter. A cursor appears next to one of the elements to show that you can type a value for that element.
3. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to each element?s position, and type a value or expression for each element.
4. Press to evaluate the expression.
386 Using the Scratchpad
Inserting expressions using a wizard
You can use a wizard to simplify entering some expressions. The wizard contains labeled boxes to help you enter the arguments in the expression. For example, suppose you want to fit a y=mx+b linear regression model to the following two lists: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} {5, 8, 11, 14, 17} 1. You can change a function by editing its expression or grabbing and changing the graph. As you graph multiple functions on the axes, the label containing the expression displays for each. Use the b key to explore and analyze the graphed function by tracing it, finding points of interest, or assigning a variable in the expression to a slider.
Viewing the function table
To display a table of values for the current function, press b 2 5.

To hide the function table, click the graph and then press b 2 5.
Changing the appearance of the axes
As you work with graphs, the Cartesian axes are displayed by default. c) Change any other attributes of the axes as required for your work, then press d to exit the attributes tool. The spacing and number of tic marks increases (or decreases) on both axes. b) To adjust the scale and tic mark spacing on a single axis, press and hold g, and then grab and drag a tic mark on that axis. To move the existing axes without resizing or rescaling them, click in and drag an empty region of the screen until the axes are in the desired location. scales by pressing b 4 1.

Using the Scratchpad
Type the values of your choice over the current values for x-min, x-max, y-min, and y-max and click OK. If the axes are hidden on the page, selecting this tool redisplays them.
Tracing a graphed function
Graph Trace moves through the points of a graphed function, parametric, polar, sequence, or scatter plot. Press b 5 1 to move across the points in a graphed function in Trace model.
2. After you type a different step increment, the Graph Trace tool moves across the graph in steps of that size, instead of moving at the default step automatically defined with a function.
