 Example  Graph the two functions shown below, and determine the point of 
intersection between Y1 and Y2.
    Y1 =  
x  + 1, Y2 =  x  
2 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  • You can calculate the point of intersection for rectangular coordinate graphs (Y= 
f ( x ) type) 
and inequality graphs (Y > f(x), Y < f(x), Y ≥ f(x) or Y ≤ f(x)) only.
  • Either of the following can cause poor accuracy or even make it impossible to obtain 
solutions.
   -  When a solution is a point of tangency between two graphs
  -  When a solution is an inflection point
u To determine the coordinates for given points
1. Draw the graph.
2. Select the function you want to perform. 
!5(G-SOLVE) 6(g)1(Y-CAL) ... 
y-coordinate for given x
6(g)2(X-CAL) ... x-coordinate for given y
3. If there are multiple graphs on the graph screen, one of them will start flashing. Use f and 
c to move the flashing to the graph you want to select and then press w.
4. Input the given 
x-coordinate value or y-coordinate value.
Press w to calculate the corresponding y-coordinate value or x-coordinate value.
 Example  Graph the two functions shown below and then determine the  
y -
coordinate for  x  = 0.5 and the  x -coordinate for  y  = 2.2 on graph Y2.
    Y1 =  
x  + 1, Y2 =  x ( x  + 2)( x  – 2)
  
 
• When there are multiple results for the above procedure, press e to calculate the next 
value. Pressing  d returns to the previous value.
• The X-CAL value cannot be obtained for a parametric function graph.
