Question

I need to graph y=x^2+3. Do I just plug in #'s for x to find y then graph the points??

Answer 1

Yes :)

Answer 2

K... Im just nervous Im doing something wrong. Are these right?? (0,0) (1,4) (2,7) (-1,4) (-2,7)

Answer 3

Yes, that's correct, well done :)

Answer 4

My next one I have to graph (LAST ONE!) is y=lx+3l +2 what does that absolute value sign mean??/

Answer 5

Basically, what ever value is inside the absolute value sign, when you remove the sign, it is always positive. So if you use x = -45, the value inside the absolute bars is -42, but when you remove the bars, it's 42.

Answer 6

K..So I got the points (0,5) (1,6) (2,7) (-1,6) (-2,7) are they right?

Answer 7

Not quite, when you use negative x values, you first need to compute the value inside the absolute bars, then remove them. So in the case of x=-1 you get |x+3|=|-1+3|=|2|=2

Answer 8

So are they (0,5) (1,6) (2,7) (-1,4) (-2,3) are any of them right?

Answer 9

All are correct. :)

Answer 10

Thank YOU!!!

Answer 11

for \[y =x ^{2}+3\] , the y-intercept should be (0, 3) rather than (0,0).

Answer 12

Obviously I shouldnt help people when I'm busy with other things, too many mistakes today. ^^ Thanks for finding it.
