Question

Sketch graph of
y=x^2+3/2
@rational

Answer 1

what do you know about the given function ?

Answer 2

f(0)= 3/2

Answer 3

It's a quadratic function

Answer 4

yes thats the y intercept - but even before that, notice that the given function is a quadratic. So what happens at the extreme values of x ?

Answer 5

I don't know

Answer 6

Hey take a value of x and see what the value of y is. Then you get some points

Answer 7

Since the leading coefficient is 1, which is positive, at extreme values of x, the graph goes UP

Answer 8

Okay, I don't hv to find the value of x

Answer 9

For example, if x=0, y =3/2 and if x=1, y=1+3/2=5/2 and if x=2, y=4+3/2=11/2

Answer 10

With these points (0,3/2),(1,5/2),(2,11/2) draw a graph

Answer 11

and you know that the y intercept = 3/2
