What is a Graphing Calculator?

A graphing calculator is a tool that plots mathematical equations on a coordinate plane. It converts algebraic expressions into visual representations, making it easier to understand function behavior, identify key features like intercepts and extrema, and solve equations graphically.

A graphing calculator plots mathematical functions visually to help you understand their behavior. Use our free online grapher to visualize any function like y = x^2, y = sin(x), or y = e^x. You can plot multiple functions, zoom in/out, find zeros, maxima, minima, and intersection points.

Key Features

  • Plot up to 10 functions simultaneously with different colors
  • Use standard math notation: x^2, sqrt(x), sin(x), log(x), e^x
  • Interactive pan and zoom to explore any region of the graph
  • Find zeros (x-intercepts) where the function crosses the x-axis
  • Find local maxima and minima (turning points)
  • Find intersection points between two functions
  • Supports trigonometric, exponential, logarithmic, and polynomial functions
  • Export graphs as images for reports and presentations

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I enter a function?
Use standard mathematical notation. For example: x^2 for x squared, sqrt(x) for square root, sin(x) for sine, e^x for exponential, log(x) for natural log. Use * for multiplication when needed (e.g., 2*x).
Can I graph multiple functions at once?
Yes! Click "Add Function" to add up to 10 functions. Each function will be displayed in a different color. You can toggle visibility for each function individually.
How do I find where a function equals zero?
Click the "Find Zeros" button to automatically locate all x-intercepts (points where y = 0) within the visible range. These are the roots of your equation.
What functions are supported?
We support arithmetic (+, -, *, /, ^), trigonometric (sin, cos, tan, asin, acos, atan), exponential (e^x, exp), logarithmic (log, log10, log2), and special functions (sqrt, abs, floor, ceil).
