S To calculate the focus and length of latus rectum [G-SLV]-[FOCS]/[LEN]
Example To determine the focus and length of latus rectum for the parabola X =
(Y – 2)
2
+ 3
Use the following V-Window settings.
Xmin = –1, Xmax = 10, Xscale = 1
Ymin = –5, Ymax = 5, Yscale = 1

(LEN)
(Calculates the length of latus rectum.)
• When calculating two foci for an ellipse or hyperbolic graph, press C to calculate the
second focus. Pressing B returns to the first focus.
• When calculating two vertexes for a hyperbolic graph, press C to calculate the second
vertex. Pressing B returns to the first vertex.
• Pressing C when calculating the vertices of an ellipse will calculate the next value.
Pressing B will scroll back through previous values. An ellipse has four vertices.
S To calculate the center [G-SLV]-[CNTR]
