3.6. Graphing or Listing a Function
You can graph the function you enter and see a visual representation of the current function, or you can
list results of the equation. Graphing and listing allow you to easily verify that your equation is behaving as
you expect.
For either graphing or listing, select a variable to graph the result against, and set an x-axis range and the
number of points to graph.
