you graph a quadratic functions for Example f(x)=x squared+4x-7
----------
Fastest Way:
Find the vertex which occurs when x = -b/2a = -4/(2*1) = -2
Find f(-2) = (-2)^2+4*-2-7 = -11
Vertex: (-2,-11)
-----------------------
Find a few points on each side of x=-2:
If x = -3, y = (-3)^2+4*-3-7 = -10'
If x = -1, y = -10
If x = -4, y = (-4)^2+4*-4-7= -7
If x = 0 , y = -7
----------------
Plot those points; draw a smooth curve thru them to the left and to the right.
That is the graph.
