Question

For the equation y = x^2, (a) create a table with at least three ordered pairs that are solutions of the equation, and (b) graph the equation.(a) Complete the following table of ordered pairs that are solutions of the equation (this is answered already) X Y- 2 40 02 4(b) Use the graphing tool to graph the equation.

Answer 1

Given:

`y=x^2`

The odered pairs are (-2,4), (0,0) and (2,4).

Required:

We need to graph the given equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is in the form of a parabola equation.

`y=(x-h)^2+k`

where h=0 and k=0.

We know that the vertex of the parabola is (h,k) =(0,0).

The vertex of a parabola is the point at the intersection of the parabola and its line of symmetry

The points (-2,4) and (2,4) lie on the parabola.

Mark the points (-2,4), (0,0), and (2,4) on the graph and join them by the curve.

Final answer:

The graph of the given function:
