Matematicas Calculo

Familiarize yourself with the interface

When you first open Microsoft Mathematics, you’ll see the following elements displayed:

1. The Calculator Pad which includes a number pad and the following button groups: Statistics, Trigonometry, Linear Algebra, Calculus, Standard, and Favorite Buttons.

2. The Worksheet tab is displayed by default, and is where you will do most of your numerical computing. This tab includes both an input and output pane. The input pane gives you the option of using the graphing calculator, keyboard or ink input. When you click buttons on the calculator pad, you construct a mathematical expression in the keyboard input pane.

3. The Graphing tab can be used to create most mathematical graphs. This tab includes an input pane to enter the function equation, inequality, data sets, or parametric equations that you want to plot.

4. Math Tools : On the Home tab, in the Tools group, you'll see buttons for additional math tools:

• Equation Solver to solve a single equation or a system of equations.

• Formulas and Equations to find frequently used equations from science and math, and explore them graphically or by solving for a particular variable.

• Triangle Solver to find the measures of the remaining sides and angles of a triangle when some sides and angles are known.

• Unit Conversion Tool to convert measurements in one system of units to another.

Using the Graphing Calculator

The primary tool in Microsoft Mathematics is a full-featured scientific calculator with extensive graphing and equation-solving capabilities.

You can use it just like a handheld calculator by clicking buttons, or you can use your keyboard to type the mathematical expressions that you want the calculator to evaluate.

Solve an equation:

Our sample problem is to find the area of a walkway that surrounds a rectangular swimming pool. The pool measures 9 meters by 15 meters, and the walkway is 2 meters wide.

Using the buttons on the calculator

1. Calculate the area of the pool and walkway by clicking the following calculator buttons. Use parentheses to group calculations appropriately:

2. Calculate the area of just the pool:

3. Subtract the area of the pool from the area of the pool and walkway:

Using the Inking Capabilities:

With Microsoft Mathematics users can input an equation or fraction using the improved ink input capabilities. Users can write mathematical expressions in the Ink input pane using the pen from a Tablet PC or an ultra-mobile PC. You can also use a mouse. Ink input is available on both the Worksheet and Graphing tabs.

1. On the Home tab, Select the Ink option in the Input tab

2. In the Ink input area draw the following fraction using your pen from your Tablet PC, or your mouse if you have a laptop

3. Hit Enter

Solving Equations Step-by-Step

Microsoft Mathematics provides step-by-step solutions to many types of problems, from simplification of algebraic expressions to solving systems of equations. If a step-by-step solution is available for an expression, you will see the heading "Solution steps" between the input and output expressions in the output pane.

1. Using the Equation from above- 2x/4=2

2. Hit Enter

3. You’ll see the equation is solved in the Output Pane

4. Click on Solution steps

5. You’ll see the completed Step-by-step solution for the equation in the Output pane

If a step-by-step solution is available for an expression, you will see the heading "Solution steps" between the input and output expressions in the output pane regardless if you enter the expression using the calculator, keyboard, or ink input option

How To Create a Graph

How to Create a Graph

To create most mathematical graphs, you use the Graphing tab. The Graphing tab includes an input pane that you use to enter the function, equation, inequality, data set, or parametric equation that you want to plot. To work with the graph after you plot it, the Graphing tab also includes a pane that describes what is plotted in the graph, and a graph pane that displays the graph.

General steps for plotting a graph

1. Click the Graphing tab.

2. Expand the appropriate input pane: Equations & Functions, Equations, Data Sets, Parametric, or Inequalities.

3. In the Dimensions list, click 2D or 3D.

4. In the Coordinates list, click Cartesian, Polar, Spherical, or Cylindrical.

5. Enter the expression or data you want to plot.

6. Click Graph

Plotting 2D Graphs

Plot a Line

You can plot any line by using Microsoft Mathematics. The simplest way is to put the equation of the line into slope-intercept form and plot the right side of the equation as a function of y. You can plot any form of the line as an equation, and you can also plot two data points and draw the resulting line.
