You can define relations using ≤, <, =, >, or ≥. The inequality operator (≠) is not
supported in relation graphing.
Relation type Examples
Equations and inequalities
equivalent to y=f(x)
• y = sqrt(x)
• y-sqrt(x) = 1/2
• -2*y-sqrt(x) = 1/2
• y-sqrt(x) ≥ 1/2
• -2*y-sqrt(x) ≥ 1/2
Equations and inequalities
equivalent to x=g(y)
• x = sin(y)
• x-sin(y) = 1/2
• x-sin(y) ≥ 1/2
Polynomial equations and
inequalities

Note: Restrictions imposed by an active Press-to-Test session may limit the types of
relations you can graph.
To Graph a Relation:
1. From the GraphEntry/Edit menu, select Relation.
2. Type an expression for the relation.
3. Press Enter to graph the relation.
