    The calculate feature of the calculator allows us <BR>to find a maximum or minimum value of a <BR>function. To do that, we will start by pressing second and <BR>then calculate. That particular function has a maximum value. So <BR>choose option 4. I'm asked to arrow to the left side of the graph. So, I need to arrow to the left of that maximum <BR>value. Just so my cursor is anywhere on the left. Enter. Now I need to be on the right of that maximum <BR>value. Enter Take a guess. So it's somewhere close to this. Enter This is telling me that the maximum value of the <BR>function is 5 and that occurs when X is 3 and a little bit more. I <BR>happen to know that this is calculator round off <BR>error and this occurs occasionally. The coordinates of the maximum value are <BR>actually 3 and 5 not this number that appears and we have to be <BR>aware of that. So the maximum value of the <BR>function is 5 and that happens when X is 3.
