The graphing calculator plots functions of x instantly. Enter one function or several separated by commas — x^2 - 4 or sin(x), cos(x) — and read the x- and y-intercepts under the graph.

How to use the graphing calculator

  1. Type a function. “y =” is optional.
  2. Add more functions with commas to compare them.
  3. Drag the graph to move around; scroll or use + and − to zoom.

What to look for on a graph

  • x-intercepts (roots) — where the curve crosses y = 0; these solve f(x) = 0.
  • y-intercept — the value f(0).
  • Intersections — where two curves meet solve f(x) = g(x).
  • Asymptotes — lines the graph approaches, as with 1/x.

Questions about graphing

Can I graph an equation like y = 2x + 1?

Yes. Type y = 2x + 1 or just 2x + 1.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. Drag with one finger to pan and use the + and − buttons to zoom.

Can it graph inequalities?

Use the inequality solver, which solves the inequality and graphs the related function.
