Arithmetic Operations

To enter numbers, coordinates or equations (4.2) you may use arithmetic expressions with parentheses. The following operations are available:

operation input
addition +
subtraction -
multiplication, scalar product * or space
division /
potentiation ^ or 2, 3
factorial !
Gamma Funktion gamma( )
parentheses ( )
x-coordinate x( )
y-coordinate y( )
absolute value abs( )
sign sgn( )
square root sqrt( )
exponential function exp( )
logarithm (natural) log( )
cosine cos( )
sine sin( )
tangent tan( )
arc cosine acos( )
arc sine asin( )
arc tangent atan( )
hyperbolic cosine cosh( )
hyperbolic sine sinh( )
hyperbolic tangent tanh( )
antihyperbolic cosine acosh( )
antihyperbolic sine asinh( )
antihyperbolic tangent atanh( )
greatest integer less than or equal floor( )
smallest integer greater than or equal ceil( )
Runden round( )

For example, the midpoint M of two points A and B might be entered as M=(A+B)/2. The length of a vector v might be calculated using l=sqrt(v*v).

We see that you can do calculations with points and vectors as well in GeoGebra.
