SOLUTION: I need to learn how to graph a parabola with a fraction. y=1/2(x+2)2+2 (x+2)is squared plus 2 I have the first points of (-2,2) and I am not sure how to get the second points sin

Question 1173310: I need to learn how to graph a parabola with a fraction. y=1/2(x+2)2+2
(x+2)is squared plus 2
I have the first points of (-2,2) and I am not sure how to get the second points since there is a fraction.
Thank you

Pick a value for

and then do the arithmetic. Repeat as necessary with different values of

. Since the domain of your function is the entire set of real numbers you can choose any numbers you like, although small integers generally make the arithmetic easier and the result less unwieldy.

By the way

is a point, not points. Also when you want to indicate raising to a power in plain text use, the caret (Shift-6) symbol, thus:

y = 1/2(x + 2)^2 + 2 means
