**Graphing Exercise for Students**

### Instructions:
**2. Using your graphing calculator, sketch the graph of \( 2(x - 1)^2 + 2(y + 1)^2 = 6 \).**

#### Editor
- \( y_1 = \)
- \( y_2 = \)

#### Window
\[ [ \ , \ ] \text{ by } [ \ , \ ] \]

#### Sketch
Provide a clear sketch of the graph based on the given equation.

### Detailed Explanation:

To graph the equation given, follow these steps:

1. **Rewrite the equation in a standard form:**
   \[ 2(x - 1)^2 + 2(y + 1)^2 = 6 \]
   Simplify: \[ (x - 1)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 3 \]
   
   This equation represents a circle centered at \((1, -1)\) with a radius \(\sqrt{3}\).

2. **Enter the function in your graphing calculator:**
   - You may have to solve for \(y\) and input two separate equations for the circle. For instance,
     \[ y_1 = -1 + \sqrt{3 - (x - 1)^2} \]
     \[ y_2 = -1 - \sqrt{3 - (x - 1)^2} \]

3. **Set the window on your graphing calculator:**
   - Ensure your window settings appropriately capture the center and radius of the circle.
   - Example window settings might be:
     - Xmin: -2, Xmax: 4
     - Ymin: -4, Ymax: 2

4. **Sketch the Graph:**
   - Use the graphing calculator to plot the circle and then replicate the circle on your paper.

By following these steps, you will accurately sketch the given equation's graph and understand the graphical representation of circle equations.
