• When calculating two foci for an ellipse or hyperbolic graph, press e to calculate the
second focus. Pressing d returns to the fi rst focus.
• When calculating two vertexes for a hyperbolic graph, press e to calculate the second
vertex. Pressing d returns to the fi rst vertex.
• Pressing e when calculating the vertices of an ellipse will calculate the next value.
Pressing d will scroll back through previous values. An ellipse has four vertices.
