GeoGebra
You can either use CAS
, or Algebra View
and Graphics View
together, to find the points of intersection between graphs. Instructions for both methods are detailed below.
GeoGebra
Instruction 1
Using CAS
- 1.
- Open
CAS
underView
inMenu
. - 2.
- Type in
CAS
asf(x) :=
and press
Enter
. Do the same with . - 3.
- In an empty row in
CAS
, typef = g
and click
Solve
in
Toolbar
. You should get a list of solutions. - 4.
- For each of the solutions
x
in the list from Step 3, type(x,f(x))
in an empty row in
CAS
and pressEnter
.GeoGebra
then displays the points of intersection.

Instruction 2
Using Algebra View
and Graphics View
- 1.
- Open
Algebra View
andGraphics View
underView
inMenu
. - 2.
- Type into
Algebra View
and pressEnter
. Do the same with . These now appear as functions inAlgebra View
and as graphs inGraphics View
. - 3.
- In
Toolbar
, clickIntersect
(it is under the same menu as the
Point
tool).
- 4.
- Click both graphs. The order does not matter.
- 5.
- You will now find the points of intersection displayed in
Algebra View
.
If you wish, you can additionally choose the axes to find the intersection between a graph and the axes.
