See a solution process below:

Explanation:

We can first graph this function using the points from the table below:

We can see from the graph the function passes through quadrants I & II (excluding the origin and axes)

I " and "II

Explanation:

f(x)x^2=y can never have a negative value of y. (Therefore no III & IV quadrants).

Also, x can be both negative and positive...(-2^2=4, 2^2=4) So, the I & II quadrants.
