Graphing Functions 2 Methods for graphing used: − Blank Excel file with equally spaced data points (Plotting Points) − Using Graphing.xlsm file
5
Plotting Points Start with blank Excel file Generate 2 columns of data - one column of x-values - one column of function values
6
Plotting Points To generate the x-values (in a column) - Given the interval required - Given the number of points required
7
Plotting Points To generate the x-values - Subtract one from number of points needed - Divide interval length by this number - This is the length of each subinterval
8
Plotting Points To generate the x-values - Starting with left endpoint, increase by width of subinterval - This gives x-value of next point - Continue until you reach the right endpoint
9
Plotting Points To generate the function values (in a column) - Type function using an “=” - Use cell references to replace x
10
Plotting Points Graphing the function - Use XY-scatter - Use Smoothed Lines Without Markers - Label graphs whenever appropriate
11
Plotting Points Special values and functions - Type PI() - eType EXP() - Type SQRT()
12
Plotting Points Ex. Graph the function on the interval [0, 5] using a blank Excel file with 501 equally spaced points. Soln:

Plotting Points Graph:
14
Plotting Points Piecewise-defined functions - Use IF statement =IF(statement, rule 1, rule 2) - statement is a mathematical test - use rule 1 if the statement is true - use rule 2 if the statement is false - AND function can be used within IF statement Ex. AND(0 =A1) tests if A1 is between 0 and 3
15
Plotting Points Ex. Graph the function using a blank Excel file with 401 equally spaced points.
16
Plotting Points Creating a “plotting points” graph in Excel Insert, Scatter, Smooth lines Right click on plot area Left click on select data Add data and format graph
17
Plotting Points Soln:
18
Plotting Points Can graph multiple functions simultaneously Ex. Graph the functions using a blank Excel file with 701 equally spaced points.

Graphing.xlsm Graphing utility to plot one function No cell references used Function is typed using the variable x Can use parameters (constants) s, t, u, v, or w
21
Graphing.xlsm
22
Ex. Graph the function on the interval [0, 5] using Graphing.xlsm Ex. Use Graphing.xlsm to graph the functions on the interval [-4, 4] using the parameter s = 2, 3, 4, and 5.
23
Graphing.xlsm Ex. Graph the function Using Graphing.xlsm.
