I need to know how to graph a polynomial and an exponential function on
excel. Specifically how to enter the equation so graph wizard can compute it.

You might want to ask in an Excel newsgroup. This newsgroup is for a
different program, Microsoft Access.

Try

Actually Excel, Access, etc. are built to display discrete data not
continious data as you want to plot. You might find something elsewhere,
but I would have to go to some type of math program 'mathematica',
sigmaplot, 'mathcad' to accomplish this. Otherwise I would have to use one
of the plotting routines from a source like numerical recipes in C to get
there.

If you are going to use excel you will have to decide on a 'step' for x then
build a set of rows with x, x+dx, x+2dx, .... x+ndx and corresponding values
for the y variable, e.g. y= x^2 -2x +1 and then build an xy plot based on
these data. This certainly lies more in the excel world than the access
world.

Best of luck
