Question

Could some one explain how to solve this?

''on the same set of axes, sketch y=x^2 and the function:

y=-1/-2 x^2

And
Y=(x+2)^2 +5

We just got this in math class and we don't have a math teacher, no one understands this since they don't mention how to do this in the book....

Answer 1

Can you sketch y=x^2?

Answer 2

The graph of y=(x+2)^2 + 5 will be a parabola at the vertex (-2,5)(just like the vertex of y=x^2 is (0,0)). Can you draw that?

Answer 3

I see it now.... ^^
