How do you make a parabola?

Make an equation where
Y = (any number not zero) times X² + (any number at all) times X + (any number at all)
The graph of that equation is guaranteed to be a parabola.

To create a parabola, use the quadratic equation in the form y = a x 2 + b x + c where a , b , and c are constants. Choose values for these constants to define your parabola, then plot points by substituting values of x into your equation to see the U-shaped curve. This method is used in both mathematics and physics to model various scenarios, including projectile motion.
