I need to graph [-5,5,0] by [-5,5,0] in a viewing rectangle

[-5,5,1] by [-5,5,1] *** sorry

jtvatsim · Answer

As far as I am aware, a viewing rectangle is literally the view settings on your calculator. For instance: XMin = -5, XMax = 5, YMin = -5, and YMax = 5 defines a viewing rectangle.

where do I find the xMin stuff?

What model calculator are you using?

lilymq · Answer

i'm using an online graphing calculator https://www.desmos.com/calculator

jtvatsim · Answer

Ah, I am familiar with that, You should see a little option button next to the Home button on the right side of the screen.

It looks like a wrench... if I recall correctly. I'm going to the website now.

lilymq · Answer

oh okay, found it

lilymq · Answer

then what?

jtvatsim · Answer

You won't see XMin, XMax, etc. that is only for things like TI calculators, but you should see range setting -10<= x<= 10, and stuff to set the domains correctly.

You're welcome I hope that helps! :)

And if you click the wrench again the settings go away (you probably figured that out already though). :)
