Question

What's the difference between graphing 
y= 3x^2+2x and y^2= 3x^2+2x ?

anonymous · Answer

The first is a simple parabola, and the second is a hyperbola due to the y squared giving two separate values for each input. I hope this helps somewhat.

Could you do the steps involved in graphing y^2=3x+2? (Symmetry, Intercepts,etc.)

jlastino · Answer

Wait...is graphing y^2= 3x^2+2x the same as graphing a hyperbola? I'm confused

Calculus? Y-int are found by plugging in 0 for x
X-int are found by plugging in 0 for y.
If it is calc then you need to find the max, min, inflection points, etc..

It's for analytic geometry. We can't use derivatives >_<
