It's a TI-83 Plus.

Well, first you need to specify which type of graphing calculator because there are tons out there and each graphing function is different than the next. I have a TI-85 and you need to hit the graph button first, then input the equations in the "Y(x)=" section and then hit the graph function button.

The graphing calculators are not the easiest to use. 5 years ago, I had to use a TI-83 for my stats class. I was lucky enough to have an instructor that put together handouts describing the steps taken to perform various operations on the calculators. Perhaps you could suggest that to your instructor?

Click on the button that says something like "Y=". It should be in the upper-left corner. Once you're there, type the function that you want to graph. Then press the "Graph" button, which is in the upper-right corner. This only applies to TI calculators.

click y=, on the right side of the y =, click in
ax (x^2) + bx + c
the reason why i put x^2 away from ax, its because x^2 is the button you have to press after you press ax
whereas a, b, and c are different value
if you wanna make it easier, go to http://www.calculator.com/calcs/GCalc.html
type in ax^2 + bx + c, exactly like i have it,
for ex
x^2 + 4x + 4, just make sure to leave out the y = part.

you have to go to [y= ]first and then type in all of your info or whatever then press graph...I think. I'm learning how to use one of those also, very confusing tools.
