The first one is \"y=\" and the last one is \"GRAPH\".  Start with the \"y=\" button.  This opens up a whole screen full of y1=, y2=, y3=, etc.  Next, you need to find the x-variable button, which is the second button down in the second column.  This button actually says something that looks like \"x,t,0,n\".  Press this button to get \"x\".  To get the \"squared\" you can either press the x^2 button in the first column, or you can press the \"^2\" buttons.  Then finish typing in the equation with a \"minus 11 x + 18\".  \r<BR>\n" );
