COMP
Differential
Calculations
The procedure described below obtains the derivative of
a function.
Use the
F
key to enter the COMP Mode when you
want to perform a calculation involving differentials.

• Three inputs are required for the differential expression:
the function of variable
x
, the point (
a
) at which the dif-
ferential coefficient is calculated, and the change in
x
(
∆
x
).
