The given equation is not that of a parabola since there are no powers of 2. Unfortunately, limitations of the browser used by Answers.com means that we cannot see most symbols. It is therefore impossible to give a proper answer to your question. Please resubmit your question spelling out the symbols as "plus", "minus", "equals" etc. And using ^ to indicate powers (eg x-squared = x^2).

An equation of a parabola that has x equals 2 as its axis of symmetry is?
How about y = (x - 2)2 = x2 - 4x + 4 ? That is the equation of a parabola whose axis of symmetry is the vertical line, x = 2. Its vertex is located at the point (2, 0).
What is the range of the function y equals -x2 plus 1?
y = -x2 + 1 This function describes a parabola that opens downward. To find the top of it's range, you need to find it's focal point. You can do that very easily by taking the derivative of the equation and solving it for 0: y = -x2 + 1 ∴ y' = -2x let y' = 0: 0 = -2x ∴ x = 0 Now you can calculate the y value at that point: y = -02 + 1 ∴ y = 1 So that function describes an upside down parabola whose peak is at the point {0, 1}. It's range then is: {y | y ∈ ℜ, y ≤ 1}
What is the graph of a function when it has no gaps or holes?
It is a continuous line whose shape depends upon what expression it is meant to represent.The equation y = x would be a straight line passing through (0,0) and all the other points where the x and y co-ordinates were equal, including negative ones such as (-11,-11).But if the equation has x squared in it the shape would be a parabola, while the graph of an equation with y cubed in it would have something like an S shape in it. More complex equations could produce many differently shaped lines.
What is a function whose graph is a nonvertical line or part of a non-vertical line?
A linear equation
What is y equals 4x plus 1?
y = 4x + 1 is a straight line making an angle with the x-axis whose tangent is 4 and passes through the point (0,1) or just a line passing though (0,1) and (-1/4, 0)
What is the standard equation of a parabola that opens up or down and whose vertex is at the origin?
focus , directrix

A parabola that opens upward?
Is a parabola whose directrix is below its vertex.
What is the x-coordinate of the vertex of the parabola whose equation is y 3x2 9x?
Without an equality sign it can not be considered to be an equation and the - or + value of 9x has not been given
What equation describes a parabola that opens up or down and whose vertex at the point (hv)?
This is called the 'standard form' for the equation of a parabola:y =a (x-h)2+vDepending on whether the constant a is positive or negative, the parabola will open up or down.
What is the line of symmetry for the parabola whose equation is y equals x2 - 12x plus 7?
At: x = 6
What is the line of symmetry for the parabola whose equation is y equals x2 plus 10x plus 25?
When x = -5
What are the coordinates of the minimum point of a porabola whose equation is y equals x squared plus three?
y = x2 + 3 Since the x term is missing, the x-coordinate of the vertex is 0. If x = 0, then y = 3. Thus, (0, 3) is the vertex, the minimum point of the parabola.
What is Y equals 2xsquared-12x plus 6?
"y = 2x2 - 12x + 6" is a quadratic equation which describes a parabola whose vertex occurs at the point (3, -12) and which has a range of -12 → ∞. It intercepts the x-axis at the points (3 - √6, 0) and (3 + √6, 0).
What the Vertex form of a quadratic equations?
The vertex form of a quatdratic equation (otherwise called the graphing form) is y=a(x-h)2+k For those of you who don't know what 'h', 'a', and 'k' are, they are parameters. The negative sign in front of the 'h' refers to the opposite of the x coordinate in the vertex. The 'k' refers to the y coordinate in the vertex. 'A' refers to the stretch or compression factor. So, for example, say you have a parabola with a stretch factor of 2 whose vertex coordinates are (-3,4). The equation would be y=2(x+3)2+4 Of course, if a parabola has no stretch/compression factor, there would be no 'a' in the equation. I hope this helped, and good luck!
What is the line of symmetry for the parabola whose equation is y equals 3x2 plus 24x - 1?
Vertical line of symmetry cuts through x = -4 - (sqrt of 3)
What is the line of symmetry for the parabola whose equation is y -x2 x 3?
Did you mean a parabola with equation y=3x^2? The line of symmetry is x=0 or the y-axis.
