Graphing Equations Using a Graphics Calculator

This video tutorial demonstrates how to convert an equation into a table and graph using a graphics calculator. It covers setting up the calculator, entering equations, and adjusting table parameters like start, end, and step values. The tutorial also explains how to find specific y-values for given x-values without resetting the entire table, making the process efficient and straightforward.

What is the first step in converting an equation into a table for graphing?

• Create a table manually

• Use a graphics calculator

• Draw the graph directly

• Find the y-intercept

Which button do you press on the graphics calculator to start creating a table?

• Menu

• Graph

• Table

• Alpha

What should you remember to use when entering the equation in the graphics calculator?

• The Z under the gamma button

• The Y under the beta button

• The A under the delta button

• The X under the alpha button

What does the 'set' button allow you to do in the graphics calculator?

• Set the start, end, and step values for the table

• Save the table

• Change the color of the graph

• Print the table

If the step value is set to 1, what will the table look like?

• 0, 1, 3, 5, 7

• 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2

• 0, 1, 2, 3, 4

• 0, 2, 4, 6, 8

What happens if you set the step value to 0.5?

• The table will have values like 0, 1, 3, 5

• The table will have values like 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5

• The table will have values like 0, 1, 2, 3

• The table will have values like 0, 2, 4, 6

How can you reset the step value in the graphics calculator?

• Press the reset button

• Go back to the 'set' option and change the step value

• Turn off the calculator

• Re-enter the equation

What should you do if you want to find the y-value for a specific x-value without resetting the table?

• Type the x-value on top of an existing one

• Change the start value

• Change the end value

• Re-enter the equation

What is the y-value when x equals 3.35?

• It is always 0

• You need to calculate it manually

• It is always 1

• The calculator will provide it when you enter 3.35

What is the final step after generating the table for the equation?

• Save the table

• Plot the points onto your graph

• Print the table

• Turn off the calculator
