Determine the graph of the quadratic equation y = 8x2 – 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do u want me to teach it ?lol

OpenStudy (farmdawgnation):

Hm. So it looks like this should be \(y=8x^2 - 8\) yes?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Omg. I wish you would like, go to someone elses question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I guess just plot points. start -2,-1,0,1,2 And double check on google by copying pasting the 8x^2-8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2,-1,0,1,2 plug those in the x

OpenStudy (farmdawgnation):

@timo86m Once again, with the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

He didn't give me the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I explained how to graph.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I already knew it when he explained.

OpenStudy (farmdawgnation):

Oh, true enough. I thought this was a question of finding zeros and I saw you list the numbers. Carry on.

OpenStudy (farmdawgnation):

This is what happens when I try to read quickly.

OpenStudy (farmdawgnation):

@Makayla43 Kindly avoid telling me what to do, please. :)

OpenStudy (farmdawgnation):

@timo86m @KNicksfan4life either of you may continue with tutoring, if you like.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@farmdawgnation When did I tell you what to do?

OpenStudy (farmdawgnation):

"Omg. I wish you would like, go to someone elses question." It seemed to me you were telling me to leave?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No? I said I wished you would. Telling you what to do would mean me saying "Go" or something.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think farmdawgnation really likes u makayla43

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Matt, Matt, Matt.

OpenStudy (farmdawgnation):

I'm in a patient mood. Carry on with tutoring the concept, please.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not understanding what you mean @timo86m

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol wow.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ooo, @shadowfiend is kindaa cutee. :p

OpenStudy (shadowfiend):

'Preciate it. Do try to stay on topic please.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Your Welcome, sir. (:

OpenStudy (shadowfiend):

So the most straightforward thing is to remember how multiplying a number into a quadratic changes its plot and how adding to it changes it.

OpenStudy (shadowfiend):

That's the most repeatable way. The easiest is to just plug in some points, always. So, we can start by plugging in -2, -1, 0, 1, and 2 for x. Try that and see what results you get for y. Then we'll see about plotting them.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I turned it in already. :/

OpenStudy (shadowfiend):

Ah, alas, alas. I hadn't seen the question was closed. I'll let the others take over from here then :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okie Dokie. (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If I have any serious questions, I will ask you, (;

OpenStudy (shadowfiend):

Hah. Don't rely on that too much. I only answer when I have time, and that doesn't happen as often as most people would prefer :p

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Darn. ): Well.
