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.
