Parabola's Graph
Whenever we need to find the graph of a parabola, we begin by finding whether the parabola opens upwards or downwards. We then find the vertex of the parabola and then make a U-shaped curve. To find the vertex and the direction of the parabola we first express the equation in the standard form. The standard form is
{eq}ax^2 + bx + c {/eq}

View this answerThe expression is written in the standard form as {eq}y=ax^2+bx+c {/eq}, hence here {eq}a=1, b=0, c=0 {/eq}.
Since a is positive, the parabola...
