Tips: use functions like sin(x), cos(x), tan(x), exp(x), log(x), sqrt(x), abs(x). Use Math constants: PI, E. Example: sin(x) + 0.5*x

What is the Graphing Calculator?

The Graphing Calculator is a tool that allows users to visualize mathematical functions in real-time. By entering a function of x, along with the desired range and resolution, the calculator plots the function on a graph with optional gridlines and autoscaling. This helps students, engineers, and hobbyists understand the behavior of functions, identify trends, and analyze mathematical expressions visually, without manually drawing the graph.

How to Use:

  1. Enter Function: Type your function of x using JavaScript/Math syntax (e.g., sin(x) + 0.5*x). You can use functions like sin, cos, tan, exp, log, sqrt, abs and constants like PI or E.
  2. Set X and Y Ranges: Enter the minimum and maximum x-values. Optionally, set the y-range or leave it to autoscale automatically.
  3. Adjust Resolution & Options: Use the resolution slider to control graph smoothness. Toggle grid display or autoscale Y-axis if needed.
  4. Plot or Clear: Click “Plot” to draw the graph. Click “Clear” to remove the graph and reset the canvas.
  5. Interact: Pan by dragging the graph, zoom with the mouse wheel, or press R to reset the view to your input ranges.
