When I enter [x/4] + x in the y= section, why doesn't it graph?
Instead I get an error message that says there's something wrong with the syntax, but that's how the teacher told us to enter it.
(I've tried just entering [x], but that doesn't come up either.)
Thanks in advance to you math geniuses...unless of course it's something obvious :)

Sorry I didn't elaborate...the brackets are supposed to be there...it's a calculus thing. (I've also tried [(x)] and that didn't work either.)
Thanx

Are you trying to use the greatest integer function?
Try using int(x/4) + x
This is how it is done on the TI-89 calculator.

Use parentheses instead of brackets, and you shouldn't have a problem.

try just using parenthesis instead of brackets. if that doesn't fix it i have no idea what's up.

you'll have to plug in a value for X is my guess...
