You can put this solution on YOUR website!
i believe that function would be f(x) = x^2 - 7
\n" ); document.write( "here's a graph that shows both f(x) = x^2 and f(x) = x^2 - 7
\n" ); document.write( " $\"graph%28400%2C400%2C-5%2C5%2C-10%2C10%2Cx%5E2%2Cx%5E2-7%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "for every value of x, the equation of f(x) = x^2-7 will be 7 units below f(x) = x^2.
\n" ); document.write( "here's a table with a couple of value of x to show you:
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "    x        x^2        x^2-7\r\n" );
document.write( "    -2        4          -3\r\n" );
document.write( "    -1        1          -6\r\n" );
document.write( "    1         1          -6\r\n" );
document.write( "    2         4          -3\r\n" );
document.write( "

\r
