This week in pre calculus we learned about how to graph quadratics, while doing this i made a pretty big mistake with an equation similar to 
+4 in that i dropped negatives while graphing therefore making the parabola appear with the opening pointed up as opposed to down, to make matters worse i also looked at the translations wrong and saw the +2 as the vertical translation and the +4 as the horizontal movement which obviously gave me a very wrong parabola
it is important to know what each part represents in the equation as that is the very fundamentals of how to read and write parabolas based on just an equation
