TABVAR Variation table
TABVAR has as a parameter an expression with a
rational derivative.
TABVAR returns the variation table for the expression in
terms of the current variable.
Typing:
TABVAR(3X
2
-8X-11)
gives, in step-by-step mode:
Variation table:
The arrows indicate whether the function is increasing or
decreasing during the specified interval. This particular
variation table indicates that the function F(x) decreases
for x in the interval [–∞, ], reaching a minimum of
at x = . It then increases in the interval [ , +∞], reaching
a maximum of +∞.
Note that “?” appearing in the variation table indicates
that the function is not defined in the corresponding
interval.
TAYLOR0 Limited expansion in the vicinity of 0
TAYLOR0 has a single argument: the function of x to
expand. It returns the function’s limited 4th-relative-order
expansion in the vicinity of x=0 (if x is the current
variable).
