Plug in a Graphing Calculator

Graphing calculators are valuable in middle school and high school algebra classes. In algebra, it's important to know how to graph equations and determine the values of equations for particular x-values. Your graphing calculator allows you to create a graph of an equation and to plug in various x-values and obtain the corresponding y-values. Graphing calculators can save you a significant amount of time on homework and exams.

Instructions
1. Type your equation into the Y= portion of your calculator. For example, if you'd like to find the graph of y=x3, plug x3 into your calculator.

2. Hit "graph", to obtain the graph for the equation.

3. Press "calc," then enter the value of x that you'd like to plug into your calculator. Press "enter." Your calculator will display the corresponding value of y.
