How can I graph quadratic or quartic equations

I want to know how can I graph equations from linear equations to quartic or 
higher degree equations using excel charts utility?

Decide your expression(s) for Y as a function of X.
Put a range of X values in the first column, & calculate the corresponding Y 
values in the next column (and in the third & subsequent columns if you've 
got more than one equation that you want to plot together).
Select the two (or more) columns.
Insert/ Chart/ XY  Scatter.

Thanks Mr. D. Biddulph.  Thanks very much.  When I posted my question I had 
already done what you instructed, but the resulting curve was not acurated. 
At least not even remotely alike the one resulting in a graphic calculator as 
the TI-83. Even though the resulting values of f(x) were correct.  That was 
the reason why I did asked my question. Do you know another method to do it 
more acurately.

Did you use appropriate significant digits in your coefficients? Probably, 
if the calculated Y values are accurate, as you state.

Did you make an XY chart? A Line chart will not portray X values accurately, 
and this is the most common reason for people to get inaccurate charts.

Thanks Mr. Peltier.  Yes I made an XY chart using curve lines... and the 
digits in my coefficients were correct.  I think I did everything ok.  I mean 
I  calculated the values of f(x) for each value of x in a range -10 to +10.  
The resulting values were exact... Then I did <Insert, Object,Chart, 
Scatter...> and the resulting graph wasn't even remotely alike the one that 
you get in the graphic calculator. Thanks anyway...

I don't understand.

If you already have an XY (Scatter) chart with correct results, why are you 
choosing Insert | Object | Microsoft Graph Chart | ... ?
