Q. y=(x−5)2+1Plot five points on the parabola: the vertex, two points to button.
Find Vertex: Find the vertex of the parabola.The vertex form of a parabola is y=a(x−h)2+k, where (h,k) is the vertex.For y=(x−5)2+1, the vertex is (5,1).
Choose X-Values Right: Choose two x-values to the right of the vertex to find corresponding y-values.Let's pick x=6 and x=7.Calculate y when x=6: y=(6−5)2+1=12+1=2.Calculate y when x=7: y=(7−5)2+1=22+1=5.
Choose X-Values Left: Choose two x-values to the left of the vertex to find corresponding y-values.Let's pick x=4 and x=3.Calculate y when x=4: y=(4−5)2+1=(−1)2+1=2.Calculate y when x=3: y=(3−5)2+1=(−2)2+1=5.
