How do you graph y equals x2?

The graph is a parabola facing (opening) upwards with the vertex at the origin.


How do we know when an equation represents a proportional relationship?

If it passes through the origin


What is the standard equation for vertex at origin opens down 1 and 76 units between the vertex and focus?

Since the vertex is at the origin and the parabola opens downward, the equation of the parabola is x2 = 4py, where p < 0, and the axis of symmetry is the y-axis. So the focus is at y-axis at (0, p) and the directrix equation is y = -p. Now, what do you mean with 1 and 76 units? 1.76 units? If the distance of the vertex and the focus is 1.76 units, then p = -1.76, thus 4p = -7.04, then the equation of the parabola is x2 = -7.04y.


What does 4 stands for in equation of parabola square of square of y equals 4ax?

A parabola with an equation, y2 = 4ax has its vertex at the origin and opens to the right. It's not just the '4' that is important, it's '4a' that matters. This type of parabola has a directrix at x = -a, and a focus at (a, 0). By writing the equation as it is, the position of the directrix and focus are readily identifiable. For example, y2 = 2.4x doesn't say a great deal. Re-writing the equation of the parabola as y2 = 4*(0.6)x tells us immediately that the directrix is at x = -0.6 and the focus is at (0.6, 0)


What equation represents an ellipse?

x2/a2 + y2/b2 = 1, is the equation of an ellipse with semi-major axes a and b (that's the equivalent of the radius, along the two different axes), centered in the origin.

What is the equation of a parabola with a vertex at 0 0 and a focus at 0 6?

The standard equation for a Parabola with is vertex at the origin (0,0) is, x2 = 4cy if the parabola opens vertically upwards/downwards, or y2 = 4cx when the parabola opens sideways. As the focus is at (0,6) then the focus is vertically above the vertex and we have an upward opening parabola. Note that c is the distance from the vertex to the focus and in this case has a value of 6 (a positive number). The equation is thus, x2 = 4*6y = 24y

How do you get a parabola with only one x intercept?

To have a parabola with only one x-intercept, the vertex of the parabola must lie on the x-axis. This means the parabola opens either upwards or downwards, depending on the coefficient of the squared term in the equation. If the coefficient is positive, the parabola opens upwards, and if it is negative, the parabola opens downwards. By adjusting the coefficients in the equation of the parabola, you can position the vertex such that there is only one x-intercept.


What equation correctly represents a circle centered at the origin with a radius of 10?

What is the range of the function on the graph?

The range of a function is the set of Y values where the equation is true. Example, a line passing through the origin with a slope of 1 that continues towards infinity in both the positive and negative direction will have a range of all real numbers, whereas a parabola opening up with it's vertex on the origin will have a range of All Real Numbers such that Y is greater than or equal to zero.

What is the nature of the displacement time graphof a body moving with constant acceleration?

The equation which covers this is s = ut + at2/2 where s is distance (ie displacement), u is initial velocity, t is time and a is the acceleration. This is a parabola with an initial (t=0) slope equal to u. The above equation comes from simple integration of the velocity versus time equation v=u+at, using an origin for distance s=0 at t=0.


Fx equals x2 plus 3?

So, if we have the equation: F(x) = x^2 + 3 this is a function in terms of x, another way to look at this same problem is to write it as: y= x^2 +3. This function may be graphed if that is what you are looking for, the graph will be of a parabola and then the graph will be shifted from the origin up 3 from the origin.
