I was doing some programming stuff on my calc. As I looked at the conditional statements, I started to think about graphs, and the two ideas merged into one. I tried it out on my graph and got unexpected results. I kept experimenting and saw more unexpected things. I'll give some examples.
Y=(X>-5 and X<7)X^2 - (X>2 and X<9)X
Best viewed with Xmin=-10, Xmax=10, Ymin=-10, Ymax=40 and
Y=(X>3 and X<4)X^3 +(X>1 and X<5)X^2+ (X>0 and X<9)X - 10
Best viewed with everything else the same except Ymax=100
If you set the graph to > or < (at least on my Ti-84) , then you get cool designs. Nothing groundbreaking... or is it? Could it be applied in some way to games? Also note if you try this, I only tried it with two equations at once, and I don't know if making more than that simultaneously will do something to the calc. Play it safe and keep at two.
