Topic: y=x^2-4

I hate Algebra... this should be so much easier for me..

parabola

[Chrono]

parabola = boooobs

[ssj4gogita4]

y= x+2 x-2

FINE I'LL EXPLAIN SINCE SOMEONE HERE THINKS THAT FACTORING IS INVOLVED WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO MAP PUT A PARABOLA >_>

Alright, you can already tell the direction of the parabola. It's positive so it'll go upward. If the equation was y=-x^2-4, then the parabola would go downward making it negative (as -x shows.)

Pick five numbers and make a chart. Choose something like 2, 1, 0, -1, -2. Start the chart off like this:

x|y=x^2-4|y|(x,y) <--Have those numbers I just mentioned each substitute for x. Now that you have an equation to work with, solve it
and you'll have your answer to y. I'll work a couple of them out for you so you know what to do.

2|y=(2)^2-4|0|(2,0)
1|y=(1)^2-4|-3|(1,-3)

There, now just substitute the other numbers for x and then solve for y. Once you're done, map out the parabola and HOLY dolphin noise YOU'RE DONE
You can also use a TI-84 calculator and go to graph. Just type the equation in there if you are lazy.

That was a surprisingly good explanation.

is there a bug stuck in your butt or something? I dont give a flip about parabolas.

Indeed, sir....or ma'am, or something. Indeed.

LOL WUT
Aren't you Mr. "I <3 math?" You don't give a flip about parabolas? I think that translates to, "I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO THEM!"
Your statement is worthy of a dramatic stare:




GO MAP SOME PARABOLAS

[ssj4gogita4]

Yeah, I get A's in math by not knowing how to do parabolas @_@

[Zoolook the Mudkip]

Yeah, I get A's in math by not knowing how to do parabolas @_@

If you know how to do them, why did you factor the stupid thing?


Here:
x^2+2x+4
YOU SEE THIS? YOU SEE THIS? THIS IS A TRINOMIAL. IT'S QUITE OKAY TO FACTOR THIS. JUST DON'T MAKE A CHART AND TRY TO MAP OUT A PARABOLA LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
