How do you sketch a graph of y=3x^2? \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Choose values for x and find y. Let's say -3 to + 3 \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Substitute -3 for x and find y like this: \n" ); document.write( "y = 3(-3)^2 \n" ); document.write( "y = 3*9 \n" ); document.write( "y = +27 \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Do the same with -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, a table of values should look like this: \n" ); document.write( "x | y \n" ); document.write( "------ \n" ); document.write( "-3|+27 \n" ); document.write( "-2|+12 \n" ); document.write( "-1|+3 \n" ); document.write( "0 | 0 \n" ); document.write( "+1|+3 \n" ); document.write( "+2|+12 \n" ); document.write( "+3|+27 \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Plot these x,y coordinates. The graph should look like this: \n" ); document.write( " |
