Subsections

Number


Length

Length[vector]
Length of a vector

Length[point A]
Length of the position vector of A


Area

Area[point A, point B, point C, ...]
Area of the polygon defined by the given points


Distance

Distance[point A, point B]
Distance of two points A and B

Distance[point A, line g]
Distance of a point A and a line g

Distance[line g, line h]
Distance of lines g and h. The distance of intersecting lines is 0. This function is interesting for parallel lines.


Slope

Slope[line]
Slope of a line. This command also draws the slope triangle whose size may be changed (see Properties, 3.1.1).


Radius

Radius[circle]
Radius of a circle


Parameter

Parameter[parabola]
Parameter of a parabola (distance of directrix and focus)


FirstAxisLength

FirstAxisLength[conic]
Length of a conic section's principal axis


SecondAxisLength

SecondAxisLength[conic]
Length of a conic section's second axis


Excentricity

Excentricity[conic]
Excentricity of a conic


Integral

Integral[function f, number a, number b]
Definite integral of f(x) from a to b. This command also draws the area between the function graph of f and the x-axis.

Integral[function f, function g, number a, number b]
Definite integral of f(x)-g(x) from a to b. This command also draws the area between the function graphs of f and g.

See indefinte integral, 4.3.11.


LowerSum

LowerSum[function f, number a, number b, number n]
lower sum of function f on interval [a,b] with n rectangles. This command draws the rectangles of the lower sum too.


UpperSum

UpperSum[function f, number a, number b, number n]
upper sum of function f on interval [a,b] with n rectangles. This command draws the rectangles of the upper sum too.
