@dharr Thank you!

@acer thanks for the help! Much ablidged.  

@acer really awesome of you to do this.. Thank you for teaching me some new tricks

@acer thank you for the response.  When I changed the code it worked, but the blue vertex point disappears when I change the sliders for a,h and k. Is there a way to make that permenant? Or shoudl I try the check box comman as you suggested?

@acer it took about 20 mintues. but here is what I wrote my code as:

 

Do(%Plot=plot(%Slider*x^2,x=-10..10,y=-10..10,title=typeset( "Graph of ", y=%Slider*x^2)));

@acer I appreciate you taking time to answer my question. I am new to using Maple, so I do apologize if I have repeats.  I tried what you said, and still am not getting a title in the plot component that says "Graph of y=ax^2" and changes as does the value of my slider does.  Obviously, I am still doing something wrong.  Here is what I have done video link

@Markiyan Hirnyk thank you for your response.  This works great.  However, is there a way to use the slider and plot component to do the same thing? I would like to have the graph and sliders already available to them.  I have tried to do this and am running in to trouble.

 

Here is what I have done. 

1. Drag a slider and plot component in to the worksheet

2. Under the plot properties

  1. Under plot expression I first tried plot(a*x^2, x=-10..10,y=-10..10);
  2. Then Under the Plot Action I put the code Do( %Plot1=plot(%Slider0*x^2,x=-10..10, y=-10..10));

This did not work. I have tried a few other varities with no luck.

 

Any help would be great.
