To solve a trigonometric equation graphically using the
CALC feature:
1.
Press Y= CL to access and clear Y1. Set the calculator to radian mode by
pressing 2ndF SET UP , touching
B DRG
, and double touching
2 Rad
.
Press 2ndF QUIT to exit the menu.
2.
To find the solutions of 2sin

4.
To "calculate" an intercept (solution), press 2ndF CALC and
double touch
5 X_Incpt
. You can calculate the other two intercepts by
pressing 2ndF CALC and double touching
5 X_Incpt
again.
To solve an equation with functions on both the left and right sides:
1.
Press Y= CL to access and clear Y1 of an old expression. To find the
solutions of 2tan
x
sin
x
+ 2sin
x
= tan

There appears to be four solutions to the equation. To "calculate" the
intersections (solutions), press TRACE , move the tracer right until it
appears on the screen. Next, press 2ndF CALC and double touch
2 Intsct
. Do this several times.
