To approximate sin graphically, you will press Y= followed by CL to clear
an old expression for Y1. Enter the function sin

Now, engage the trace by pressing TRACE and tracing near
x
= = 1.047.
With the cursor located near
x
= 1.047, you can zoom in to find a better
approximation for the
y
value. Press ZOOM , touch
A ZOOM

to zoom in on the cursor. Once again, trace over near
x
= 1.047.
Zoom in one more time to see an even better approximation.
