Evaluating an expression using the Entry key
Assume that you wish to evaluate  for various values of x = 1/2, -2
 
Assign a value for x: 
1/2 STO "x,t,Q-key" ENTER
Enter your expression: 
(x-VAR-2)/("x,t,Q-key"("x,t,Q-key"-1)) ENTER
The given expression evaluated for x=1/2 is 6.
Assign a new value for x: 
-2 STO "x,t,Q-key" ENTER
Recall the expression: 
ENTRY ENTRY
Evaluate it for the new value of x: 
ENTER
The given expression evaluated for x=-2 is -2/3.
Repeat the previous two steps additional values 
of x


Evaluating an expression using the Table feature
Assume that you wish to evaluate  for various values of x = 1/2, -2
 
Press TABLE
Select TBLST (Table Setup) by pressing F2
Use the arrow keys to select "Indpnt Ask" (so you can subsequently specify the values of the independent variable x), and ENTER
Press GRAPH, select y(x)= and define the function 
y1 = (x-2)/(x*(x-1))
For more info, see "Graphing"
Press TABLE, select TABLE, enter 1/2, ENTER
you now see function y1 evaluated for x=1/2 (it's 6)
enter -2, ENTER, see this:
continue by entering as many values as you wish
you may "write over" any entry by using the "up arrow"
