How to use the graphing calculator
Use x as the variable and standard calculator notation. Powers use the caret symbol, for example x^3. Trigonometric functions in graph mode use radians, matching conventional mathematical graphing behavior.
Useful graphing examples
- sin(x) for a sine wave
- x^2 - 4 for a parabola
- log(x) for a base-10 logarithmic curve
- sqrt(abs(x)) for a square-root shape across positive and negative x
