How to use the plot function?

Questions
1

I am new to Mathematica and I am running the version 10 that came along with Raspberry Pi. I tried to use

plot[sin[x],{x,0,10}]

but instead of plotting it, I am getting output as

out[1] := plot[sin[x],{x,0,10}]

Any suggestions?

Every built-in Mathematica function starts with capital letter [plot should be Plot and sin should be Sin].
The correct command is

Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 10}]

You can use this resource to get acquainted with the system- An Elementary Introduction to the Wolfram Language by Stephen Wolfram
[since Raspberry Pi Mathematica version doesn’t come with Help file because of size constraints].
