| Question 910369:  I need to know the Vertex, Axis of Symmetry, roots, domain, and the range for the following problem.
 Y=x^2-4
 I also need to know if it opens up or down and if you could graph it that would be greatly appreciated.

 Algebraically
 y = x^2 - 4 = = (x+2)(x-2) roots: -2,2
 ........
 the vertex form of a Parabola opening up(a>0) or down(a<0),
   where(h,k) is the vertex  and  x = h  is the Line of Symmetry
 .......
 y = x^2 - 4     V(0,-4), Axis of Symmetry x = 0, a= 1> 0 Opens Upward
 domain:  All real Numbers
 range [-4, ∞ )
