Graphing Definition and 499 Threads

Good day, I was born in the 90s and as you know, having calculators back then was a cool thing; like having the Game Boy, SNES or the Genesis. I was very fond of calculators and I still am and from time to time check out what's new on the market. To say the truth, I still use may CASIO FX-115 to...

i don't know whether this goes here or under the calculator forum. i want to graph x=t y=1/(1+t^2) and z=t^2 and i keep getting a parabola. is that right because the drawing in my book is like a slanted parabola.

how do i graph z=1-y^2 or x=y^2+4z^2 or 36x^2+y^2+36z^2=36 or pretty much anything with x,y,z on the ti nspire cx cas

Homework Statement Here's a graph of displacement it wants me to make: http://s15.postimg.org/7v1x5najv/graph.png. I tried that graph in the picture as the answer but it didn't accept it. There are no numbers or specifics for Figure 1 they give you, so I'm confused on what to do. Very strange...

Homework Statement I'm just rewording the question, because there is one thing in particular I'm after. Given a graph of A, B, & C in Concentration(y) versus time(x), can you determine the balanced chemical equation? Is that possible? I guess if you found the rates and then checked to see...

Hey, how would I graph the plane x + 2y + 3z = 0. We were taught to find the x,y and z intercepts and then connect them resulting in the plane. In the following equation, I get the points x=0,y=0 and z =0. I can see that the intercept approach doesn't work for this question. What else can I try?

Homework Statement Okay the graph SHOULD look like this. http://jwilson.coe.uga.edu/EMAT6680Fa11/Chun/11/21.png I can't make sense of this at all. It looks so weird. Why does it bend around the y-axis in such an asymmetric way? I just graphed r = sin(θ) with ease by making a table of r vs θ...
