How do you graph # y=(1/8)x^2#?

Answer 1

Eva Abramson

These are the points used for the graphing of this function :-

#1)# The domain of this function is #x # #ϵ # #R #.

#2)# The equation having all the powers of #'x'# even is symmetric about Y-axis and vice- versa.

#3)# This is an even function because it is symmetric about Y-axis.

#4)# The range of this function is #y>=0#

The graph of the function is given below :-

graph{(x^2)/8 [-10, 10, -5, 5]}

To graph the equation y = (1/8)x^2, you can start by plotting points on a coordinate plane. Choose values for x and calculate the corresponding y values using the equation. Plot these points and then connect them with a smooth curve to represent the graph. Alternatively, you can recognize that the equation represents a parabola that opens upwards, centered at the origin.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
