I have a polynomial equation that I need to plot. The only program that I
have that might be able to do this is Excel and I am not sure how to go about
it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Lets use 2x^3-3x^2+6x+10 as example
In A1:A20 (or a large/smaller range) enter x values (1,2,3, or 1.1, 1.2,
1.3)
In B1 enter =2*A1^3-3*a1^2+6*A1-10; Copy down to B20
Select a1:B20; start chart wizard; make an XY chart (regardless of what it
may sound like you do NOT want a Line chart)

Once you have had success doing this, may I suggest you read an Excel book

best wishes
