What would be the shape of this function?
assume that x is graphed in the horizontal plane..
what would be the shape of the function y=f(x)?
a circle? a parabola opening up? a parabola opening right or left? or a set of two lines?
and if you could please explain why!!!!
i just need the shape, i dont need the exact graph points... how is it possible to get the shape?
no examples given.. that all the information for the problem ):

the question is not complete. you need to tell what F(x) is. that will decide how the graph will be!

But y = f(x) doesn't tell you the nature of the function. It has to be of the form f(x) = something in terms of x not just f(x) = y.
For example f(x) = x^2 + 4x - 2 would be a parabola.
Have you been given examples?
Additional: This can't be all of the question. f(x) = y tells you nothing about the nature of the function. You need to know that, or choose some examples yourself, to describe the shape of the graph of f(x).
