After displaying the function analysis menu, you can input quadratic differentials using either of
the two following formats.

dx
Quadratic differential calculations produce an approximate differential value using the follow-
ing second order differential formula, which is based on Newton's polynomial interpretation.
2 f(a + 3h) – 27 f(a + 2h) + 270 f (a + h) – 490 f(a)+270 f(a – h) – 27 f(a – 2h) +2 f(a – 3h)

In this expression, values for "sufficiently small increments of h" are used to obtain a value that
approximates f "(a).
Example To determine the quadratic differential coefficient at the point where
x
Here we will use a tolerance tol = 1
Input the function f(

# In the function f(x), only X can be used as a
variable in expressions. Other variables (A
through Z, r, " ) are treated as constants, and
the value currently assigned to that variable is
applied during the calculation.
