How do i draw a graph of y=|6a^2-x^2| where a>0 ?
--------
a > 0 is not relevant since it's squared.
--------
Different values of a give a family of graphs.
The Axis of Symmetry is the y-axis.
The graphs are parabolas opening upward, but the part that would be below the x-axis is reflected as if it's rotated 180 degs about the x-axis.
