Problem:
Graph the slope field for the function f(x) = sin(x).
Visualization:
Using Microcalc:
- Choose Intermediate Calc from the initial menu and press
.
- Use the arrow keys to move to the menu item Direction Fields, press
and
.
- Use the arrow keys to move to the menu item dy/dx = F(x, y), press
.
- At the prompt F(x, y) =, enter the formula
sin(x)
- Enter the bounds at the prompts
- x0 = -2pi
- x1 = 2pi
- y0 = -3
- y1 = 3
You can enter pi by pressing
at the same time.
