\n" ); document.write( "Graph: y >= x^2 - 5
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Just like you do any graph:
\n" ); document.write( "There is no middle term in this equation so the vertex is x=0, use x=-3 to x=+3
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "For example: x = -3
\n" ); document.write( "y = -3^2 - 5
\n" ); document.write( "y = +9 - 4
\n" ); document.write( "y = +4
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute for x and find y, plot these values:
\n" ); document.write( " x | y
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "-3 |+4
\n" ); document.write( "-2 |-1
\n" ); document.write( "-1 |-4
\n" ); document.write( " 0 |-5
\n" ); document.write( "+1 |-4
\n" ); document.write( "+2 |-1
\n" ); document.write( "+3 |+4
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "It should look like this
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "\"+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-5%2C+5%2C+-8%2C+8%2C+x%5E2-5%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Shade the area at and above the graph line, note that for all values of x: y =>-5 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
