TABVAR
Type: Command
Description: For a function of the current variable, with a rational derivative, computes the variation table, that
is the turning points of the function and where the function is increasing or decreasing.

GRAPH
L
Input: An expression in terms of the current variable, which has a rational derivative.
Output: Level 3/Item 1: The original rational function.
Level 2/Item 2: A list of two lists. The first list indicates the variation of the function (where it is
increasing or decreasing) in terms of the independent variable. The second list indicates the
variation in terms of the dependent variable, the function value.
Level 1/Item 3: A graphic object that shows how the variation table was computed.
Flags: Exact mode must be set (flag –105 clear).
Numeric mode must not be set (flag –3 clear).
Radians mode must be set (flag –17 set).
Example: Tabulate the variation of the function:
x
2
1

Viewing the graphic, one sees the original function F and its derivative, as functions of X, and the
variation table for X and F, shown as a matrix
