SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on creating a wine glass shape in Graphmatica by adjusting the equation of the graph. The original equation, x=2y^2+3.5, positions the top of the glass on the x-axis. The correct adjustment to move the graph up by one unit on the y-axis is achieved by modifying the equation to x=2(y-1)^2+3.5. This solution effectively resolves the issue of the graph's positioning.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quadratic equations and their graphical representations.
  • Familiarity with Graphmatica software for graphing functions.
  • Knowledge of how to manipulate equations to shift graphs vertically.
  • Basic algebra skills for equation adjustments.
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore Graphmatica's features for graph manipulation and adjustments.
  • Learn about transformations of quadratic functions in detail.
  • Research other types of graph shapes and their equations.
  • Practice creating and modifying various equations in Graphmatica.
USEFUL FOR

Students, educators, and hobbyists interested in graphing functions, particularly those using Graphmatica for mathematical visualization and problem-solving.

Hey i ned to make a wine glass in graphmatica

i got it all but the top of the glass is sitting on the x-axis still

x=2y^2+3.5 {3.5,6}

i got that and i just don't know (or forgot) how to move that graph up on the y-axis about 1 units

i tried adding 1.5y to the equation to make it look like
x=2y^2+1y+3.5 {3.5,6}

and subtracting

x=2y^2-1y+3.5 {3.5,6}

but the program wouldn't move or draw anymore

thank in advance for help offered

oh yeah sorry mis spelled graph
 


never mind got it it was
x=2(y-1)^2+3.5 {3.5,6}

for any people strrugling in the future
