ExplanationWhat is a function?A function establishes that for each value of x, there is a corresponding value of y under an explicit rule or formula. We can say, by definition, that "y is a function of x". Mathematically this is written as: 
﻿
y=f(x)y = f(x)y=f(x)
This calculator's inputs can be mathematically expressed as:
﻿
y=f(x)=[function] ,[min. value]≤x≤[max. value]y=f(x)=[\text{function}]\ , [\text{min.\ value}] \le x \le [\text{max.\ value}]y=f(x)=[function] ,[min. value]≤x≤[max. value]
Where:
Function is the equation y as a function of x. Use Python notation in this calculator
Minimum x-value is the minimum value of x in it's range
Maximum x-value is the maximum value of x in it's range
Number of points is the number of points to be plotted
What is the cartesian coordinate plane?The cartesian coordinate plane is a 2-dimensional area with two perpendicular numbered axes to specify a location. The horizontal line is called the "x-axis", while the vertical line is called the "y-axis". An x-value and a y-value can describe a location ﻿(x,y)
, also called a "point". The intersection of these two axes is called the "origin", where both x and y are equal to zero. The coordinate axes divide the plane into four regions called quadrants.
