If you are using a calculator just plug it in and hit graph. If you are doing it by hand, start with making a X-Y Table. Plug in X values into the equation to get a Y value out. Plot about 5 points on the graph to get a basic look at the parabola. To get the right the values, you want to start with the vertex and go out from there. To start, you need to find the axis of symmetry (-b/2a) [From the basic equation of ax squared +bx + c] That is the X Value for the vertex. Plug that in to find the Y Value for the vertex. The more points you find the more accurate the graph but normally 5 is enough (vertex and two on left and right)
If the graph start and end with same vertex and no other vertex can be repeated then it is called trivial graph.
The vertex of a parabola doe not provide enough information to graph anything - other than the vertex!
x2+8= y This equation represents a function. It will be a parabola with the vertex at (0,8). You can easily graph this on a graphing calculator or from prior knowledge. You know the basic graph of y=x2 with vertex (0,0) and opens upwards on the y-axis. From the equation, you simply shift the vertex vertically up 8 so the new vertex is (0,8) This represents a function because for every x value there is one y value.
A vertex of a graph is said to be pendant if its neighborhood contains exactly one vertex.

You find the equation of a graph by finding an equation with a graph.
vertex
You should always use the vertex and at least two points to graph each quadratic equation. A good choice for two points are the intercepts of the quadratic equation.
There is no equation (nor inequality) in the question so there can be no graph - with or without an axis of symmetry.

y = - x2 +6x - 5.5
The graph of a quadratic function is always a parabola. If you put the equation (or function) into vertex form, you can read off the coordinates of the vertex, and you know the shape and orientation (up/down) of the parabola.
A parabola is a graph of a 2nd degree polynomial function. Two graph a parabola, you must factor the polynomial equation and solve for the roots and the vertex. If factoring doesn't work, use the quadratic equation.
y = 2x2 + 3x + 6 Since a > 0 (a = 2, b = 3, c = 6) the graph opens upward. The coordinates of the vertex are (-b/2a, f(-b/2a)) = (- 0.75, 4.875). The equation of the axis of symmetry is x = -0.75.
If the graph start and end with same vertex and no other vertex can be repeated then it is called trivial graph.
