I'm struggling with this lately, I know that it depends on what you need to see, but is there a general rule of thumb?
I'm not aware of any general rule about this. How you should scale the window depends on the function you're graphing.Tyrion101 said:I'm struggling with this lately, I know that it depends on what you need to see, but is there a general rule of thumb?

A graphing calculator window refers to the viewing area on a graphing calculator where the graphs and data are displayed. It is the rectangular region on the screen that defines the x and y-axis limits and the scale of the graph.
To set the window on a graphing calculator, you can use the "Window" or "Zoom" function. This will allow you to adjust the x and y-axis limits, the scale, and other parameters to fit your specific data or graphing needs.
Setting a proper graphing calculator window is important because it allows you to see the entire graph or data set clearly and accurately. It can also help you identify trends and patterns in the data and make more accurate calculations.
You will know if you have set the proper window on your graphing calculator if you can see all the data or graph clearly without any parts of it being cut off or distorted. Additionally, the scale and axis labels should be clearly visible and appropriate for the data.
Yes, you can change the window on a graphing calculator while you are graphing. Some graphing calculators have a "Trace" function that allows you to move along the graph and adjust the window as needed. You can also use the "Window" or "Zoom" function to make changes to the window while in the graphing mode.
