Question 788407
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


You could make a table of *[tex \LARGE x] values and then calculate the *[tex \LARGE y]-values that correspond.  But it would probably be helpful to compare this equation to the equation of a parabola with vertex at *[tex \LARGE  (h,\,k)], namely


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ y\ =\ a(x\ -\ h)^2\ +\ k]


That gives you the vertex directly and allows you to plot two points for every one you calculate after that because of symmetry.
