1. The problem is to graph the equation given by the user. 2. Since the user did not specify an equation, I will assume a general example: $y = x^2$. 3. The formula for a quadratic function is $y = ax^2 + bx + c$, where $a$, $b$, and $c$ are constants. 4. For $y = x^2$, $a=1$, $b=0$, and $c=0$. 5. This parabola opens upwards with vertex at the origin $(0,0)$. 6. The intercepts are at $x=0$ and $y=0$. 7. The graph has a minimum point (extremum) at the vertex. 8. Plotting this function will show a U-shaped curve symmetric about the y-axis. 9. If you want a specific equation graphed, please provide it.
