Question 1031387: Consider the graph Y=ax^2+c where "a" and "c" can be any real number.
what effect does changing the value of "a" and "c" have on the axis of symmetry, the turning point , the x and y intercepts the shape and of the curve and its concavity. You must present your findings for each set of specific values and generalise the effects in terms of a and c. Thankyou very much
