Highlight the blank denition following GC and tap .
When creating objects that are dependent on other objects, the order in which they appear in Symbolic
view is important. Objects are drawn in Plot view in the order in which they appear in Symbolic view.
Since we are about to create a new point that is dependent on the attributes of GB and GC, it is important
that we place its denition after that of both GB and GC. That is why we made sure we were at the
bottom the list of denitions before tapping . If the new denition appeared higher up in
Symbolic view, the point created in the following step would not be active in Plot view.
3.
Tap and choose Point > point.
You now need to specify the x and y coordinates of the new point. The former is dened as the abscissa
of point B (referred to as GB in Symbolic view) and the latter is dened as the slope of tangent line C
(referred to as GC in Symbolic view).
4. You should have point() on the entry line. Between the parentheses, add:
abscissa(GB),slope(GC)
For the abscissa command, press and tap . Press to jump to commands that
start with the letter A and then scroll to abscissa and tap . For the slope command, press
and tap . Press to jump to commands that start with the letter S and then
scroll to
slope and tap . Of course, you can type the commands in letter by letter as well. Press
for the lower-case alpha lock. Press again to unlock.
