Graphing Calculator 3D Plot 2D Equations

This page explains how to plot a 3D equation in Graphing Calculator 3D.

Steps:

  1. Select "3D" graph if it is not already selected.
  2. Type in your equation.

Examples:

Here are some explicit and implicit 2D equations you can type in the program:

  • z=x^2+y^2
  • z=y+sin(x)
  • x=2
  • x^2+y^2+z^2=3^2

Optional Steps:

  • Click on "Override Default Range" to limit the x, y and z range.
  • Change the resolution to increase or decrease the number of points calculated and displayed in table of values.
  • Click on any row in the table of value to see its exact point on the graph.
  • Hover your mouse on the plotted graph to see its x,y,z coordinates. Click on the graph to selected the coordinate in table of values.
  • Change draw style from "Surface" to "Points" or "Wireframe".
  • Change the color of graph.
