The calculator is not designed to quit on you without giving a fair warning: an error message. There are several Zoom functions, each with its specificities, so saying that the zoom function quit on you does not help a bit.
The safest Zoom you can use without any prior knowledge of the function is the ZoomStd (Zoom standard). It sets Xmin=-10, Xmax=10, Ymin=-10, Ymax=10. That is also what you get if you reset the memory.

You did not explicitly ask a question. Nonetheless I tried to answer with blinders on my eyes. If you still want to understand what you have been doig wrong with the Zoom, post a comment to this thread spelling out what you have been trying to do and the error message you got.

When using zoom how can you extend the square root sign over a equation?

I admit that I do not quite understand what you want to do. The Zoom function allows the user to Zoom In ( see a smaller part of the graph in more detail ) or Zoom Out (to view more of the graph in less details) That applies to any graph that is displayed
As to the square root function, if you enclose the argument (expression) in parentheses making sure that you close the right one ) , everything inside the () will be part of the argument.

Selecting the Graph Style (You may ignore this now, because it is unimportant for just one graph)

  • Select the graph style: The small piece of line to the left of a Y that defines a function is the style.
  • Move cursor on it and press [ENTER] .
  • Each [ENTER] (on same line) selects another style.
  • On the next screen you have all the styles available on the calculator.
  • Do not select the bubble on line 6: It is for animations. It will not leave a trace at the end of the plot.

Drawing the Graphs

ZOOMING

The selection 6:ZStandard sets the dimensions as on the screen Titled Window (above).

In the window screen you can set Xmin=-180, Xmax=180, Xscl=10, Ymin= -0.6, Ymax= 1.5, Yscl=1. The minus here is the change sign (-) to the right of the [.] dot.

I am getting ERR:ARCHIVE 1:QUITE when I try to

I tried all possible situations where one would get an error ERR: ARCHIVED 1:QUIT 2:GOTO in relation to graphing, and I was unable to do so. Thus I cannot explain your error (in relation to graphing). I conclude that the error is unrelated to the graph.

As a general rule, one you get message ... 1:Quit, 2:GOTO press 2 and you will be shown the location where the offending symbol is.

Anyway, to graph functions, always deactivate the statistical plots
  1. Press [2nd][Y=] to access (STATPLOT) then press [4:PlotsOff]
  2. Command PlostOff echoes on main screen.
  3. Press [ENTER], calculator answers Done.
  4. Open the [Y=] editor to enter your function and
  5. Press [GRAPH].
  6. If you do not see any graph,
  • press [ZOOM][6:ZStandard] or
  • adjust the window dimensions by
  • pressing [Zoom] and
  • setting the Xmin,Xmax,Ymin,Ymax values
  • making sure that Xmin is less than Xmax, and Ymin is less than Ymax.

ERR: Window Range

Press ZOOM and select Zoom standard (ZoomStd).
Alternatively, press the WINDOW key to access the window range setup
Set Xmin=-10
Xmax=10
Ymin=-10
Ymax=10
These are the standard dimensions of the window.
You can change the dimensions as long as Xmin is less then Xmax, and Ymin is less than Ymax. Do not make Xres close to Xmax-Xmin.

Try hitting "ZOOM" then "0". This is for the "Zoom Fit" option. It will automatically adjust your window range to best fit your equation!
