Answer 1

@myko

Answer 2

any guesses? does it look familiar in any way?

Answer 3

try moving it down till x axis

Answer 4

its square function right?

Answer 5

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

Answer 6

i'm not sure.. is it 2?

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

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?

Answer 9

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

Answer 10

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

Answer 11

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

Answer 12

thanks

Answer 13

yw

Answer 14

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