Any buddie good with graph quadratic equation: make table of value

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

make a table

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Complete the square and graph, seems reasonable.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[ \begin{array}{r} x&|&y \\ \hline -3&|\\ -2&|\\ -1&|\\ 0&|\\ 1&|\\ 2&|\\ 3&|\\ \end{array} \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or use table of values xD

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

questione explicitly asks to use table ad i also want to know how to make tables in latex ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm impressed that you made a tables of values using LaTeX haha. I was thinking you would draw it out.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So kathy do you understand the table of values, its just plugging and chugging.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know how to do these is the ting

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

do you know how to plot a point ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not for these i cant graph these i suck if it game me points i could do it i cant figure points out i always have promblem

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

its a one time thing, once you know how to locate a point like `(4, 6)` on xy plane, you will find these easy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i never doooo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have the equation \[y=x^2+2x-2\] and if you look at ganeshies table, he gave you a bunch of x - coordinates, remember a graph has points such (x,y). So what you want to do is, take the x coordinates and plug it in the equation and that will give you the corresponding y - value. So for example, lets take x=-3 \[y=(-3)^2+2(-3)-2 \] solve for this and you will get the y value, and you can plug it in your graph as the point (x,y).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hey, they made it easy for you, just need three points :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i still dont understand thesse

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's because you're not trying, so what is \[y=(-3)^2+2(-3)-2?\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

its okay lets first see how to locate the point (4, 6) on xy plane

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

are you good with directions ? East West North and South ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh I have an idea for you if you're just learning to graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all i know is up is always + down is aways -

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

thats all you need to know

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

also right is + and left is -

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if it told me to grah (-3,5) i could do it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u read from the right

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

then you're all good and ready! just create a table and plot the points

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know what the points r

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok so you have the points (x,y) right? x is the horizontal axis (left, right) and y is the vertical axis (up, down)|dw:1417857378106:dw| so if I say graph the point (1,2) here is something you can do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its gonna got to the 1 up to

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1417857472579:dw| you can draw these lines as I just made, this is a great way to learn, or at least I tell myself that haha.
