Question

sketch the graph and plot at least 5 points

f(x) = -x^2 + 4x - 3

Answer 1

do you have a graphing calculator?

Answer 2

no :/

Answer 3

i have a graphing calculator:)

Answer 4

*shocked* well what we can do is plot 5 points
f(-2) = -(-2)^2 +4(-1) -3
f(-1) = -(-1)^2 +4(-1) -3
f(0) = -(0)^2 +4(0) -3
f(1) = -(1)^2 +4(1) -3
f(2) = -(2)^2 +4(2) -3

Answer 5

nicceeee

Answer 6

awesome @Candlelover

Answer 7

you got it @mollykenney you pick 5 numbers (since it wasn't given) and then you plug in to x to find f(x) aka y

Answer 21

wow thank you so much @immanuelv i really appreciate it

Answer 22

@mollykenney your're welcome :D
