How do you graph a parabola on a TI 84 calculator?

Answer 1

hit Y=

hit X,T,O,n

hit X2

hit graph

so you have put y = x2 into your equations window then graphed it

you can change the graph around:

to put graph up x amount, plug in a c value. ex: (x^2)+2. that will make the graph shift 2. if you want it the shift sideways. add the translation amount to every x. ex: 4x^2+3x+6 would be 4(x+2)^2+3(x+2)+6 to shift the parabola 2 to the side. a b value ( B(X) ) shifts the graph

Answer 2

Go to 'y=' then type in you equation at y1
