A) Plot the graph of 𝑦 = 𝑥2 for values of 𝑥 from −4 to 4 Plotting Quadratic Graphs

𝑥 −4 −3 −2 −1 0
1 2 3 4
𝑦 16
B) On the same grid, plot the graph of 𝑦 = 𝑥2 − 3
for values of 𝑥 from −4 to 4
Draw your own table of values.
How does this change the graph of 𝑦 = 𝑥2 ?

C) Plot the graph of 𝑦 = 𝑥2 + 𝑥

for values of 𝑥 from −4 to 3
𝑥 −4 −3 −2 −1 0 1 2 3
𝑥2 16 4
𝑥 −4 2
𝑦 12 6
What happens between 𝑥 = −1 & 𝑥 = 0 ?

D) E)
Plot the graph of 𝑦 = 𝑥2 + 2𝑥 − 3 Plot the graph of 𝑦 = 2𝑥 − 𝑥2
for −5 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 3 for −3 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 3

𝑥 −5 −4 −3 −2 −1 0 1 2 3 𝑥 −3 −2 −1 0 1 2 3
𝑥2 4 9 2𝑥
2𝑥 −4 6 −𝑥2
−3 −3 −3 𝑦
𝑦 −3 12
What has happened to
the parabola (the curve)?
