Function Grapher
Enter a function of x and an interval. The calculator samples the function, plots it as a smooth curve, locates the zeros by bisection and the local extrema from sign changes of the derivative, then overlays every feature on the plot.
Frequently asked questions
What syntax does f(x) accept?
Standard arithmetic and the usual functions: sin, cos, tan, exp, ln, log, sqrt, abs and ^ for powers. Constants pi and e are built in.
Are the zeros exact?
They are numerical, found by sign changes between samples and refined with bisection to many significant figures — well below the plot resolution.
Can it handle vertical asymptotes?
Yes. When the function value jumps by an outlier amount between two adjacent samples (as for 1/(x − 1)), the polyline is broken so the asymptote is not drawn as a vertical line.
