If you align two of the dots on the same X value, the entire parabola disappears. Great scenario though!

The reason the parabola disappears is because it's impossible to have two Y values for one X value when calculating with quadratic functions. I could fix this by not allowing the dots to have the same X value.

Oh yeah... then it wouldn't be an actual function. Well Ok then, never mind.
