You are given a vertex on the graph being `y=x^2` this means that for each point given on the graph `y is equal to x^2` So the points on the graph would be listed how?

Mathplayer223:

x^2,y^2?

Mathplayer223:

x,y^2

563blackghost:

the 2nd one is correct but it would be `(0,x^2), (0,0), and (x,x^2)` Since the triangle is upside down you see that `x` represents the `base` of the triangle and `y` represents the `height` of the triangle. What is the formula for the area of a triangle?

Mathplayer223:

im not sure

Mathplayer223:

sorry i have to leave but thank you

The area of a triangle is represented as: \(\Large\bf{A=\frac{bh}{2}}\) So the base was `x`, and the height was `y=x^2` so your area represented as an equation is: \(\Large\bf{A=\frac{x~ *~ x^{2}}{2}}\) Simplify
