HP 50g function plotting

[Carsen]

5 ways that I would use to accomplish this.

1. Use the PLOT command. Press SYMB -> GRAPH -> PLOT.
2. Store it in EQ, just like you said earlier.
3. When in the 2D/3D input form, press the HIST key, then ECHO, then ENTER. Then ENTER/OK.
4. Write a small program to take an equation & immediately plot it with default zoom settings.
5. PLOT soft menu. Accessed by: 81 MENU. Pretty cumbersome though. Useful for plotting commands in programming.

Useful tip in general

Read the HP 48G/GX user's manuals. You'll find useful information for your 50g. Like how pressing STO in the PICTURE environment puts a GROB of the graph in the stack.
