Using a Calculator for Functions

Mr. Bourne, a math teacher from Minnesota, guides viewers through finding the x and y intercepts of a graph using a calculator. The tutorial covers entering a quadratic function into the calculator, adjusting the graph window, and using specific calculator functions to find the intercepts. The video concludes with instructions on finding additional x-intercepts and encourages viewers to subscribe for more content.
