Determine the quadrants in which the graph of  .

The term is squared, hence the parabola is horizontal.

The general form of a parabola equation is ,

where vertex : and Focus : .

.

Rewrite the expression.

.

Compare the equation with the general from of parabolic equation.

The vertex is and .

Focus : .

Since , the parabola opens to the left.

Since the parabola left of the -axis, the parabola will have no points to the right of the -axis or in quadrant .

The parabola will have no points in quadrant .
