Tap at each vertex of the
triangle, pressing
E
after each tap.
The excircle is drawn tangent
to the side defined by the last
two vertices tapped. In the
example at the right, the last
two vertices tapped were A
and C (or C and A). Thus the excircle is drawn tangent to the
segment AC
.
Incircle An incircle is a circle that is tangent to all three sides of a
triangle. Tap each vertex of the triangle, pressing E
after each tap.
Ellipse Tap at one focus point and press E. Tap at the second
focus point and press
E. Tap at point on the
circumference and press
E.
Hyperbola Tap at one focus point and press
E. Tap at the second
focus point and press
E. Tap at point on one branch of
the hyperbola and press
E.
Parabola Tap at the focus point and press
E. Tap either on a line
(the directrix) or a ray or segment nd press
E.
Conic Plots the graph of a conic section defined by an expression in
x and y.
conic(expr)
Example:
conic(x^2+y^2-81) draws a circle with center at (0,0)
and radius of 9
Locus Takes two points as its arguments: the first is the point whose
possible locations form the locus; the second is a point on an
object. This second point drives the first through its locus as the
second moves on its object.
