Question

PLEASE HELP!!

Answer 1

that's kind of hard to see but I suppose you are asking to graph f(x) = x^2 -4x +5 correct?

Answer 2

yes @1DEA

Answer 3

alright, well do you know how factor that equation? Btw nice pic.

Answer 4

yea ..am i supposed to mke it a parabola??

Answer 5

well firstly tell me what does it factor to.

Answer 6

x=1,2,3...
y=x^2-4x+5

Answer 7

hmm?? that's incorrect, have you ever seen something that looks like this: y = (x-5)(x-3)?

Answer 8

no

Answer 9

ah well that's what I meant by factoring. To factor quadratics is really important so would you like me to explain how to do that? Well if you don't recognize this you are probably doing it a simpler way(and will learn factoring later). So here's another method. Do you understand that you can simply plug in the points and connect them?

Answer 10

and to answer your other question YES! That's it exactly it should be a parabola!
