| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Enter both equations |
| 2 | Display both graphs |
| 3 | Use intersect/solve tool |
| 4 | Read the coordinates |
The big idea: The calculator is helping you find the graph intersection numerically.
If you cannot see it, you cannot solve it: A poor graph window can hide the intersection or make it hard to read accurately.
| Bad window sign | Possible fix |
|---|---|
| Graphs cut off | widen the x/y range |
| Everything squashed | adjust scale |
| No visible intersection | recenter near expected crossing |
Window sense: Use the graph shape and equation features to choose a sensible window fast.

Worked example
The calculator gives intersection (2.381, 5.762). How should you report it if the question asks for 3 significant figures?
Step by step
- Round each coordinate separately to 3 significant figures.
Final answer
(2.38, 5.76)
Do not mix the coordinates: Round x and y separately and keep them in the correct order.
Some pairs meet more than once: A line and a curve, or two curves, can have multiple intersections. Technology helps you locate each one.
Interpretation example
If the calculator shows two intersections, what should you do?
Step by step
- Check the question wording.
- If it asks for all solutions, report both intersection points.
Final answer
Give every relevant solution that the question asks for.
