how do you graph parabolas?

OpenStudy (lgg23):

plug in the values. remember it's a function when every x value as one and only one y value.

OpenStudy (lgg23):

if you're talking about a basic parabola. the origin lies on (0,0)

OpenStudy (lgg23):

and it makes a U shape. remember a basic parabola has the formula \[x ^{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Make a table of x's and y's. Choose some x's. Calculate a y value for each x. Plot the points. If you can't see the curve yet, you'll need a few more points (x's and y's). That's the simplest way.
