Function Graphing Calculator

Visualize mathematical functions instantly.

Supported: +, -, *, /, ^, (, ), sin, cos, tan, sqrt, log, pi, e

How to Use the Graphing Calculator

This tool allows you to plot the graph of a mathematical function f(x) with respect to the variable x. Simply enter your equation in the input field using standard mathematical notation and define the range for the x-axis.

Supported Mathematical Operations

You can use a wide variety of functions to create complex graphs. The calculator automatically parses standard operators and common functions:

  • Basic Arithmetic: Addition (+), Subtraction (-), Multiplication (*), Division (/)
  • Exponents: Use the caret symbol (e.g., x^2 for x squared)
  • Trigonometry: sin(x), cos(x), tan(x)
  • Other Functions: sqrt(x) for square root, log(x) for logarithm
  • Constants: pi (≈3.14159), e (≈2.71828)

Understanding the Coordinate Plane

The graph is plotted on a Cartesian coordinate system. The horizontal axis represents the input variable (x), and the vertical axis represents the output value (f(x)). The tool automatically scales the y-axis to ensure your function fits perfectly within the viewing window based on the minimum and maximum x-values you provide.
