Step 1 :

\

The parabola equation is $\"\"$ .

\

Solve for $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

Extract square root from both sides.

\

$\"\"$ .

\

Add 3 to each side.

\

$\"\"$ .

\

The upper half of the parabola is $\"\"$ and the lower half of the parabola is $\"\"$ .

\

Step 2 :

\

Graph the upper half of the parabola.

\

The upper half of the parabola is $\"\"$ .

\

Make the table of values to find ordered pairs that satisfy the equation $\"\"$ .

\

Choose values for x and find the corresponding values for y.

\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \

\

Step 3 :

\

1. Draw a coordinate plane.

\

2. Plot the ordered pairs found in the table.

\

4. Connect those plotted points with a smooth curve.

\

The graph of upper half of the parabola is :
