anonymous · Answer

any guesses? does it look familiar in any way?

anonymous · Answer

try moving it down till x axis

anonymous · Answer

its square function right?

anonymous · Answer

yes. The only catch is that when x=0 what is y=?

anonymous · Answer

i'm not sure.. is it 2?

anonymous · Answer

yes

anonymous · Answer

the "simple" square function, looks like this: $f(x)=x^2$
but it for x=0, y=0. How do you think we could fix that?

anonymous · Answer

notice that every point of this graph is like 2 nits higher then the original

anonymous · Answer

it is lioke when you calculate the value of y for any x by $y=x^2$, and later you add 2 units to it

anonymous · Answer

so y=0 becomes y=2, y=1 becomes y=3  and so on

anonymous · Answer

thanks

So just to check, what did you get as your function?
