If you need to graph a function, then create a new worksheet as described

above, enter the equation to graph and click on the

button. If

necessary, the equation will be converted into graphable form prior to graphing.

For any other, more complex operation (i.e. finding intercepts, the vertex of a
parabola, triangle solution, operations with functions, etc), you need to use the
wizard interface.

Some solution processes can be modified via Solution settings (i.e. solving a
quadratic equation via factoring vs. using the quadratic formula).

In order to request an explanation for a particular step, you must first ‘focus’
that step. This is done by single-clicking on it. Double-clicking on a step implies
that you wish to edit it and perform your own transformation.
