Question

I hope someone can help me with this equation. I have to graph f(x)= 2(x-3)^2 + 5 for -1 < or equal to x < or equal to 4.PLEASE HELP!!!

Answer 1

how far have you gone?

Answer 2

done*

Answer 3

i haven't done anything because i am not sure how to draw the graph with "-1 < or equal to x < or equal to 4" on the end

Answer 4

you know how to draw the graph of y=x^2 right?

Answer 5

yes, i could draw it if it didn't have the x thing on the end

Answer 6

you mean the boundaries
\[-1\le x \le 4\]
?

Answer 7

yes thats it

Answer 8

These just mean that you have to draw the graph only from -1 to 4, so don't continue the curve after these points
