I am supposed to graph this equation... so I make a function graph.  X^2......does not follow normal integer rules to get my ordered pairs. I chose -2,-1,0,1,2.......I get (-4+5)=-2 FOR X AND 1 FOR Y.....the answer should be a positive 4 FOR X...to make a curved line on my graph...but then why is X not in parentheses??????  like, -2^2=-4 and (-2)^2= 4. Please help ..my understanding with this.. Thank-you...very confused. </SPAN>\n" );
