1. Read this section carefully
2. Write important words and information
Think of a number between 1 and 10. Multiply it by itself. What number did you get? Try it again with the opposite of
your number. Did you get the same result? This result is called the square of a number. The process of multiplying a
number by itself is called squaring. The square of a number x is x squared, and you write it as x to the power of 2, or
2
x 2 . When squaring numbers on your calculator, remember the order of operations. Try entering 32 and ( 3) on
your calculator. Which result is the square of 3?

Many real-world situations, such as calculating area of squares and circles, involve squaring. Do you think that the rule
for squaring is a function? In order to answer this question, you will graph the relationship between numbers and their
squares.

Investigation: Graphing a Parabola

In this investigation you will explore connections between any number x and its square by graphing the coordinate pairs
(x, x 2 ).
