hey, so same as last time, it's called a "quadratic equation" and takes the form:
\[y = ax ^{2} + bx + c\]
OpenStudy (jack1):
so the key points you want for your sketch ar:
y intercept (when x=0)
x intercepts (when y=0)
turning point (value of "c")
OpenStudy (jack1):
so if you factorise it, you can get your x intercepts:
y = ( 2x + 1) ( 2x - 3
)
OpenStudy (jack1):
therefore your x intercepts occur when y = 0, so
either (2x + 1) = 0 or (2x - 3) = 0
so x = -1/2 or x = 3/2
those are your intercepts (where your graph cuts the x axis)

@ nuh, thats completely incorrect
OpenStudy (anonymous):
?no it's right..and the other x intercept is 1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i thought it 4x^3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
srry

x intercepts are -0.5 and 1.5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hey whats the quadratic equation?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
srry stupid mistake b4..:) read the equation incorrectely lol
