OpenStudy (anonymous):

but how did you do that? and how would i graph that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I picked up random numbers for x ( nice ones that divide by 4 when you square them ) and evaluated y by plugging my x values in the function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, but then how would i graph it as a parabola?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

type the points in your box

OpenStudy (kymber):

A parabola is just a curved line, you graph it the same way!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

still a little lost, sorry.

OpenStudy (kymber):

Plot the points & when you connect them, it's a parabola!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's the thing i don't know how to find the points.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold on
