How do you graph y2?

To graph ( y^2 ), you first rewrite it in terms of ( y ) by taking the square root, giving you ( y = \pm \sqrt{x} ). This represents a pair of curves, one in the positive ( y ) direction and one in the negative ( y ) direction. The graph will resemble a sideways parabola opening to the right, with the vertex at the origin (0,0). Plot points for various ( x ) values to sketch the curves accurately.
