Implicitly Defined
Previous  Top  Next

Implicitly defined functions are treated in two stages.

1.   FX Graph tries to rearrange the function to be in terms of
 
   y =  
   x =  
   y2 =  
   x2 =  
 
   and will then graph the function.  
 
2.   If FX Graph CANNOT rearrange the function, it uses a more generalised approach to graphing. For example,  
 
   x/y2+y/x2 = 1

This approach basic looks for equality between the two sides of the equation. When using this form of graphing, FX Graph CANNOT perform detailed analysis of the curve.
