Play with it. Figure out how to do the following things and copy those graphs into a Word document

Call the document graphsYourname.doc

Graphs to make:

  1. Graph the system of inequalities from your test
  2. Graph a trig function with pi's on the x-axis
  3. Graph an ellipse as an implicit function
  4. Graph a piecewise function
  5. Graph a function with a vertical aymptote and plot the asymptote as a dashed line
  6. Graph r=cos(theta/2), with an appropriate choice for domain
  7. Graph a slope field of a differential equation
  8. A graph with the Riemann sum rectangles drawn in for some approximation of an integral
  9. A graph that is shaded under for the interval [1,4] to indicate an integral to be performed.
  10. An equation with a tangent line at a point of your choice
  11. A surface of revolution
  12. Another 3D surface of your choice

If you get done early, experiment with some of the options that will let you use and change parameters, and animate stuff.
