You can put this solution on YOUR website!
when x = 0, y = -5
\n" ); document.write( "when y = 0, x^2 = 5, so x = sqrt%285%29
\n" ); document.write( "set up some points from x = -5 to x = +5
\n" ); document.write( "x,y
\n" ); document.write( "-5,20
\n" ); document.write( "-4,11
\n" ); document.write( "-3,4
\n" ); document.write( "-2,-1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\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( "4,11
\n" ); document.write( "5,20
\n" ); document.write( "looks like the graph bottoms out at -5 and goes up symmetrically for every value of +/1 x.
\n" ); document.write( "graph would look like this:
