THEN when we learn that x can be a complex number, so that the Graph is 2 (orthogonally) linked Parabolas. ---------- like this: https://phantomgraphs.weebly.com/uploads/5/4/5/4/5454288/4_4_orig.jpg https://www.geogebra.org/resource/czbugz9h/fofRh3ZjmwwISd2v/material-czbugz9h-thumb@l.png This graph is showing a smooth , curved surface --> https://i.sstatic.net/soSJ8.png What is this graph showing??? it purports to show f(x) = (x^2 + 1)
