Chapter 6
Graphing Equations/Functions
Above the three letter keys,
,
, and
,
you’ll see the following words in green:
Y=
,
WINDOW
, and
GRAPH
.
These are the three things you needs to graph functions and each options represents a step in the
process of graphing functions. Since
Y=
,
WINDOW
, and
GRAPH
are in green, you will need to
press
before being able to use any of the three.
There are three steps when graphing a function:
i. entering in the function you want to graph,
ii. making sure your viewing window is what you want, and
iii. graphing the equation.
Each step is explained below.

, ...,
y

represent the different functions that
you would want to graph. Your calculator has the ability to remember and/or graph 99 different
functions at a time.
