Someone please help me!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

for example, when I replace \(x=0\), I get: \(y=x^2=0^2=0\) so the point \((0,0)\) belongs to our parabola. Furthermore, when I replace \(x=2\), I get: \(y=x^2=2^2=4\) so also the point \((2,4)\) belongs to our parabola

OpenStudy (jesuslover11):

ok

OpenStudy (jesuslover11):

which graph? im confused

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

please, you have to search for the graph, which passes at points \((0,0)\) and \((2,4)\)

OpenStudy (jesuslover11):

the last one? or first...

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

first graph passes at point \((2,2)\) so it is a wrong graph

OpenStudy (jesuslover11):

is it the last one?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

the last graph passes at point \((2,6)\), so also that graph is a wrong graph

OpenStudy (jesuslover11):

its the third one... right?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

why is it the third one?

OpenStudy (jesuslover11):

because it passes at 2,4 right? i have no clue on this to be completely honest!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I see that the third one passes at point \((2,8)\), am I right?

OpenStudy (jesuslover11):

Is it the second one? Im sorry that I am guessing this. This is one of the hardest subjects to me. I am usually good at doing this if someone gives me hints but this graph stuff is really hard for me. But, i guess since all of the other ones are not it then it has to be the second one... right?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that's right! It is the second graph :)

OpenStudy (jesuslover11):

Thank you!!
