Hi! I want to graph 2 piecewise functions on the same graph. I know how to do it on the 84 but not on the Nspire. Can anyone help me?

Lana,
Maybe I'm not sure what you are trying to do, but just arrow down to f2 in the entry line and type your next function.
The 'such that' |  symbol[found in ctrl =] is perhaps the easiest method.  You could also use the template tool or even type piecewise( and then you can use the comma.

I want it to stop graphing at x= 0. And a new function for x>o

Use piecewise functions from the Math Templates Menu (next to the book)

1 oops, Lana, I mis-interpreted.  I did limited domain rather than piecewise.
2 Bryson, how did you insert image/screenshot in the body?  Mine are attachments at the bottom.
Thanks

I just copied and pasted from the Screen Capture. I am using Windows Live for MSN and HTML email.  May be different depending on 1) Email program 2) whether email is set to text or html.  Really I don’t think I did anything special.

Okay, just curious, because I like the big layout in the body of the text rather than the thumbnail.
I am using Safari and 'Attach a file'  is the option.
