For a polynomial, put the function in a Y1. Go to lists and set up
enough
points to do a regression one less order than the function (e.g., if
your poly
is a cubic, you need three points). Set up L1 as, say, 0, 1, 2.
set up L2 as derivatives of Y1 at 0, 1, 2.
Now, do a quadratic regression, Go to Y2 and install the equation (var,
(5)stats,
Eq, (7)equation. This is the derivative curve in symbolic.
