Graphing a quadratic function in standard form

The video tutorial explains how to graph the quadratic equation Y = -2X^2 - 8X - 3 using a table of values. It covers finding the axis of symmetry, selecting points for plotting, evaluating Y values, and reflecting points over the axis of symmetry. The tutorial also discusses identifying the vertex and intercepts of the graph, emphasizing the importance of symmetry in graphing parabolas.
