Do you mean how you can tell between an area formula and a volume formula? Well usually like on a reference sheet it says the shape and the letter a or v, a representing area and v representing volume. I hope this helps, if it doesn't please tell me in the comment section
Y = -2x^2
h = Xv = -B/2A = 0/-4 = 0.
k = -2*0^2 = 0.
V(0,0).
Use the following points for graphing:
Y = -2x^2.
(x,y)
(-2,-8)
(-1,-2)
V(0,0)
(1,-2)
(2,-8)
Y = -2x^2 + 4.
h = Xv = -B/2A = 0/-4 = 0.
k = Yv = -2*0^2 + 4 = 4.
V(0,4).
(-2,-4)
(-1,2)
V(0,4)
(1,2)
(2,-4)
